License Amendment Request for Revision to Technical Specification Core Operating Limits Report for Realistic Large Break LOCA Analysis Revised Technical Specification Page

Reference:

Letter from K. Holbrook to the U.S. NRC, "License Amendment Request for Revision to Technical Specification Core Operating Limits Report," Serial HNP- 11-067 dated August 22, 2011, ADAMS Accession No. ML11238A077 Ladies and Gentlemen:

By letter dated August 22, 2011, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L), doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., requested approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of a license amendment request (LAR). The proposed amendment would revise Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.1.6, "Core Operating Limits Report," to add a plant-specific methodology that implements AREVA's NRC-approved topical report EMF-2103(P)(A), "Realistic Large Break LOCA Methodology for Pressurized Water Reactors,"

Revision 0, and also EMF-2103(P)(A), "Realistic Large Break LOCA Methodology for Pressurized Water Reactors," Revision 2 or higher upon approval of the specific revision by the NRC.

CP&L rescinds our request for approval of EMF-2103(P)(A), Revision 2 or higher. The attached retyped Technical Specification page 6-24a has been revised accordingly.
