Dear Mr. Kansler:

In reviewing your submittal of May 8, 2002, concerning the subject relief request, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff discussed the issue with your staff on June 24, 2002, and outlined additional information that the NRC needs to continue its review.

The information needed was e-mailed to your staff on June 25, 2002, and, as we indicated during our conversation, we are enclosing the request for additional information. Your staff has indicated that you can respond within a short time since you require the relief before your next refueling outage.

Sincerely,
