Acceptance Review: Wolf Creek license amendment and exemption requests for a risk-informed resolution to GSI-191 (EPID: L-2024-LLA-0125 and L-2024-LLE-0026)
By letter dated September 12, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24260A071), Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee) submitted license amendment and exemption requests for Wolf Creek Generating Station for a risk-informed resolution to Generic Safety Issue (GSI)-191, Assessment of Debris Accumulation on PWR [Pressurized-Water Reactor] Sump Performance. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of these requests. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.
The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed change in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, the licensee will be advised by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in the licensees submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that the license amendment and exemption requests will take approximately 1,750 and 300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br />, respectively, to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete the review by October 22, 2025. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.
These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application, and they could change, due to several factors including complexity and uniqueness of the review, requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
