that letter lists the NRC’s number designation for the LNP RAI and the corresponding response to the LNP RAI. Enclosure 1 states that the NRC had reviewed the LNP RAI response letters and found them applicable to WLS. Although the WLS letter differs slightly from earlier letters that endorse R-COL responses to RAIs (e.g., the Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., letter titled “Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Units 2 and 3, Docket Nos. 52-022 and 52-023, Levy Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 52-029 and 52-030, Summary Identification of Concurrence with Standard Content in Response to Requests for Additional Information: Supplement 2”, dated December 7, 2009 (Ref. 74), both were initiated by the applicant and facilitated the NRC staff’s review in the same way. The primary importance is that the response to the RAI be clear and transparent to the NRC, the COL applicant, and the public and that the COLA, including the FSAR, be updated with the appropriate information on each COLA docket. Reference Combined License and Subsequent Combined License Application Referencing in Departure and Exemptions Reports Part 7 of a COLA includes exemptions, departures, and variances applicable to an application, as discussed in Section C.1.7. Departures are listed cumulatively in Part 7 and typically rely on the same LMA conventions used in the site-specific FSAR that identifies the departure as either a site-specific departure or a standard departure. Part 7 provides summary information on each departure supporting whether NRC approval or an exemption is required and making specific exemption requests. More detailed information on individual departures may be found in the FSAR or audit reports, or both. There are no regulatory requirements that would restrict a future COL applicant from including other notations DG-1325, Page-62 in the departure report in order to reference previously reviewed departures and exemptions from an S-COL. Referencing should be clear
