SUBJECT:

Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 BV-1 Docket No. 50-334, License No. DPR-66 BV-2 Docket No. 50-412, License No. NPF-73 License Renewal Application Amendment No. 29 (Annual Update) (TAC Nos. MD6593 and MD6594) and Revised License Renewal Application Boundary Drawing Reference 1 provided the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) License Renewal Application (LRA) for the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS). Each year following submittal of a license renewal application and at least 3 months before scheduled completion of the NRC review, 10 CFR 54.21(b) requires an amendment to the renewal application be submitted that identifies any change to the current licensing basis (CLB) of the facility that materially affects the contents of the license renewal application, including the FSAR supplement. This letter provides the amendment to the BVPS LRA required by 10 CFR 54.21(b).

The Attachment provides a summary of the CLB changes that materially affect the LRA.

Enclosure A provides Amendment 29 to the BVPS License Renewal Application.

Enclosure B provides a revised License Renewal Application Boundary Drawing.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter. If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact Mr. Clifford I. Custer, Fleet License Renewal Project Manager, at 724-682-7139.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on October ---

1. In order to assist local manual operation of atmospheric steam dump valves credited for regulated events, FENOC installed manual air isolation valves and quick disconnect fittings in the air supply lines to the pneumatic valve operators for each Unit 1 atmospheric steam dump valve (ASDV). These valves will isolate the normal air vent paths and allow nitrogen supply bottles to be directly connected to the pneumatic valve operator through the quick disconnect fittings. FENOC also permanently staged nitrogen bottles in the Main Steam Valve Room along with the

.... required tubing, regulators-and fittings to-connect the nitrogen supply to the quick disconnect fittings to assist the local operation of the ASDVs. The newly-added nitrogen tanks, valves, and tubing components, and the air supply tubing to the valve operators have been added to the scope of License Renewal for their support of the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3) Main Steam System function: "Cools the Reactor Core via the RCS by removing decay heat using steam from the Steam Generators through the safety valves, atmospheric steam dump valves, and the residual heat release valve (FP and SBO)." LRA Table 2.3.4-7, Section 3.4.2.1.7, and Table 3.4.2-7 are revised to address these components. LR drawing 1-21-1 is revised to show the additional components that have been added to scope. The flexible hoses in the new nitrogen supply flow path shown on LR 1-21-1 are within the scope of License Renewal, but will be periodically replaced in accordance with LRA Appendix A, Table A.4-1, Item 21 (as amended in Reference 2), and are not subject to aging management review.

2. FENOC replaced the Reactor Vessel Internals System control rod guide tube support pins at Unit I and Unit 2. The replacements changed the support pin material from Alloy X-750 (nickel alloy) to Type 316 Stainless Steel to reduce the susceptibility of these components to stress corrosion cracking. LRA Table 3.1.2-2 (Reactor Vessel Internals) is revised to address the material change from nickel alloy to stainless steel. No changes to aging effects, program assignments, or NUREG-1 801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," comparisons result.

See Enclosure A to this letter for the revision to the BVPS LRA.

See Enclosure B to this letter for the revision to the LRA Boundary Drawing.
