HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - RE: REVISION TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS BASES PAGE (TAC NO. MB8906)

Dear Mr. Anderson:

By letter dated April 28, 2003, PSEG Nuclear, LLC, provided changes to the Technical Specification (TS) Bases for the Hope Creek Generating Station. Specifically, the change revises TS Bases page B 3/4 4-5 (the bases for TS 3/4.4.6 Pressure/Temperature Limits) to explicitly state that the maximum specified heatup and cooldown rates apply to reactor coolant temperature. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has no objection to the changes.

The enclosed page is being distributed for inclusion in your TS Bases section. If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1420.

Sincerely,

/RA/
