SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE V.C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION (VCSNS), LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION - SECTION 2.3
Dear Mr. Byrne:
By letter dated August 6, 2002, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) submitted, for the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) review, an application pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating license for the VCSNS. The NRC staff is reviewing the information in the license renewal application and has identified areas where additional information is needed to complete the review. Enclosure 1 of our letter dated March 28, 2003, contained requests for additional information (RAIs) in Section 2.3. Inadvertently, the attached RAI was not included in that group of RAIs.
The staff is willing to meet with SCE&G and to clarify the RAI before SCE&G submits its response. If you have any further questions, please contact me at 301-415-1025 (e-mail: RCA@nrc.gov).
Sincerely,
/RA/
