By {{letter dated|date=August 20, 2012|text=letter dated August 20, 2012}}, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The LAR would revise the condensate storage tank (CST) level requirement specified in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.7.6.1. The change is related to the calculational basis for the level with respect to potential vortexing and assumptions regarding heat loads on CST volume.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's letter of September 25.2012, found the LAR to be unacceptable with an opportunity to supplement it by responding to the request for additional information (RAI) as set for the in the enclosure to that letter. SNC's letter of October 25, 2012, responded to that RAI.

The NRC staff has reviewed these two submittals and concludes that they do provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to continue its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request 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 in "requests for additional information" despite completion of an adequate acceptance review.

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - ACCEPTANCE REVIEW (TAC NOS. ME9293 AND ME9294)

Dear Mr. Ajluni:

By letter dated August 20, 2012, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The LAR would revise the condensate storage tank (CST) level requirement specified in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.7.6.1. The change is related to the calculational basis for the level with respect to potential vortexing and assumptions regarding heat loads on CST volume.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's letter of September 25.2012, found the LAR to be unacceptable with an opportunity to supplement it by responding to the request for additional information (RAI) as set for the in the enclosure to that letter. SNC's letter of October 25, 2012, responded to that RAI.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the NRC staff's acceptance review of the LAR dated August 20 and its supplement dated October 2,2012. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to continue its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readiiy apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed these two submittals and concludes that they do provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to continue its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request 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 in "requests for additional information" despite completion of an adequate acceptance review.
