LIC-109 Acceptance Review of Duane Arnold Request for Exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv) - EPID L-2020-LLE-0011
Dear Mr. Davis,
By letter dated February 25, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20056E054), NextEra Duane Arnold Energy, LLC (NEDA) submitted an exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(1 )(iv), to allow use of its nuclear decommissioning trust funds for spent fuel management and other non-radiological site restoration activities at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC). The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this exemption request. 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 your 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 exemption in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health, 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, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by October 2020. 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 requests for additional information, and unanticipated addition of scope to the review. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
If you have any questions, please contact me @ 301-415-8371 or Mahesh.chawla@nrc.gov.
Thanks Mahesh Chawla, Project Manager Licensing Branch LPL-3 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
