FPL Energy FPL Energy Seabrook Station Seabrook Station P.o. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874 (603) 773-7000 May 29, 2003 Docket No. 50-443 NYN-03029 RE: NYN-02094 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Seabrook Station Revision to License Amendment Request 02-05, "Relocation of Technical Specifications Associated with Boration Systems and Chemistry, Revision of Certain Technical Specifications Associated with the Reactor Coolant System" FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC (FPLE Seabrook) has enclosed herein a revision to License Amendment Request (LAR) 02-05, NYN-02094, dated October 11, 2002. This revision removes the phrase "if not in operation" in Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement 4.4.1.2.1 and withdraws the proposed wording changes to TS 3.9.2 Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) and the Bases for TS 3.9.2. The wording for TS 3.9.2 LCO and its associated Bases will remain as currently licensed. The revised markup and retype pages (3/4 4-3, 3/4 9-2) are enclosed and supercede those originally submitted in LAR 02-05, NYN-02094. In addition, marked up Bases page B3/4 9-2a and re-typed Bases pages B3/4 9-2a, B3/4 9-2b, B3/4 9-2c, B3/4 9-2d submitted in LAR 02-05, NYN-02094, should no longer be considered for staff review.

LAR 02-05 originally proposed changes to the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications to relocate the Boration System (TS 3.1.2.1, 3.1.2.2, 3.1.2.3, 3.1.2.4, 3.1.2.5, and 3.1.2.6) and Chemistry (TS 3.4.7) Technical Specifications to a licensee controlled document and revise TS 3.1.2.7, "Boration Systems, Isolation of Unborated Water Sources - Shutdown." LAR 02-05 also proposed a revision to Technical Specifications 3/4.4.1.2, "Reactor Coolant System, Reactor Coolant Loops and Coolant Circulation, Hot Standby," 3/4.4.3, "Reactor Coolant System, Pressurizer," and 3/4.9.2, "Refueling Operations, Instrumentation."

These changes adopted a portion of NUREG-1431, Revision 2, "Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants,"

which involved a wording revision to more closely match Standard Technical Specifications.
