Ladies and Gentlemen:

On May 17, 2005, Carolina Power & Light Company, now doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., submitted a license amendment request for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The amendment request replaces the existing requirement of TS 3.4.5, "RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation," Required Action D.1, to enter Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.3 if required leakage detection systems are inoperable with the requirement to be in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

The purpose of this submittal is to provide updated Technical Specification pages in support of issuance of the proposed amendment. On January 11, 2005, the NRC issued amendments 233 and 260 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. These amendments affected Technical Specification page 3.4-10 for both units. Specifically, a note regarding LCO 3.0.4 applicability was removed from Condition B of Technical Specification 3.4.5.

The enclosed, updated Technical Specification pages reflect the changes made by amendments 233 and 260.
