Subject:

System 80+ Design Certification Rule Errata

Attachment:

Memorandum from J. Egan & J. Lawrence to C. Brinkman, dated 5/21/97

Dear Sirs:

On May 21,1997, the NRC published the Final Rule for the Standard Design Certification for the System 80+ Standard Plant design in the Federal Register (62 FR 27840). The applicant for the certification of the System 80+ Standard Plant design was Combustion Engineering, Inc.

We have reviewed the rule and have identified errata. Attached is a memorandum from Egan and Associates to C. Brinkman which lists the errata, the basis for correction and the suggested corrections.

We hereby request that these errata be corrected in an errata amendment to the System 80+ design certification rule.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-881-7040.

Sincerely yours,

\ \ l COMBUSTION ENGINEERING,INC.
