Letter from William R. Gideon (Duke Energy) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk, Request for License Amendment Regarding Core Flow Operating Range Expansion, dated September 6, 2016, ADAMS Accession Number ML 16257A41 o Ladies and Gentlemen:

By letter dated September 6, 2016 (i.e., Reference), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy), submitted a license amendment request (LAA) for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed amendment would expand the core power-flow operating range (i.e., Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+)).

A discrepancy was identified with the date on the Framatome affidavit regarding withholding ANP-3108P, Revision 1, Applicability of AREVA BWR Methods to Brunswick Extended Power Flow Operating Domain (i.e., Enclosure 14 of Reference). The enclosure to this letter provides a corrected affidavit for Framatome report ANP-3108P, Revision 1.
