SUBJECT:
VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - CORRECTION TO AMENDMENT RE: DECREASE OF HOT CHANNEL FACTOR EXCLUSION ZONE AT TOP AND BOTTOM OF CORE (TAC NO. MB2052)
Dear Mr. Byrne:
On January 24, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Amendment No. 153 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-12 for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1.
The amendment was issued in response to your application dated May 24, 2001.
This amendment revised Technical Specifications (TS) Sections 4.2.2.2.e and g, and 4.2.2.4.e and g to adopt a modified methodology that relocates the heat flux hot channel factor, FQ(z),
penalty for increasing FQ(z) versus burnup to a table in the Core Operating Limits Report. The amendment also increased the surveillance region of FQ(z) to be consistent with the current core design and to provide assurance that the peak FQ(z) is monitored and evaluated near the end of core life.
By letter dated September 20, 2001, you requested 90 days for implementation of this amendment. However, the NRC staff inadvertently issued the amendment with the implementation requirement within 30 days. We are enclosing the corrected page with the correct implementation date. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
/RA/
