PALISADES PLANT - CORRECTION TO AMENDMENT NO. 207 TO CHANGE ENRICHMENT LIMITS IN THE FUEL POOL (TAC NO. MB1362)

Dear Mr. Cooper:

On February 26, 2002, the Commission issued Amendment No. 207 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-20 for the Palisades Plant to change the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to an application dated March 2, 2001, as supplemented on March 29, September 14, and December 27, 2001. The changes to the TSs increased the limits on stored fuel enrichments and provided other more flexible fuel loading constraints for the storage racks for new and spent fuel.

Page 2 of Amendment No. 207 contained a typographical error in the implementation date.

The implementation date should have been reflected as 90 days instead of 60 days. The 90-day implementation date is consistent with the licensees March 2, 2001, application and the NRC staffs intent. Please replace the corrected page 2 (Enclosure) with the corresponding page issued with Amendment No. 207.

Sincerely,

/RA/
