Box 165 New Hill, NC 27562 T> 919.362.2502 F> 919.362-2095

Serial: HNP-10-064 Page 2 Safety Evaluation (SE). Upon review, HNP has noted that the code of record for the new very early warning fire detection system (VEWFDS) is specified as NFPA 72, "National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code," 2010 Edition, on pages 46 and 106 of the SE (Reference 1). The correct code of record for the system is NFPA 72 - 2007 Edition. Although Section 4.8.2.4 of the updated LAR (Reference 2) and RAI Responses 1-5 (Reference 3, 4) specify NFPA 72 as the code of record, the applicable code year was not identified in HNP's submittals.

Please refer any questions regarding this submittal to Mr. Dave Corlett, Supervisor -

Licensing/Regulatory Programs, at (919) 362-3137.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on AUG 1Z .ZD1 Sincerely, CLB/kms cc: Mr. J. D. Austin, NRC Sr. Resident Inspector, HNP Mr. W. L. Cox, III, NC DENR Mr. L. A. Reyes, NRC Regional Administrator, Region II Ms. M. G. Vaaler, NRC Project Manager, HNP
