SUBJECT:
YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION - CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NO.
157 RE: DELETION OF OPERATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING FUEL TRANSFER TO ISFSI (TAC NO. L52086)
Dear Mr. Kay:
By letter dated April 18, 2003, the Commission issued Amendment No. 157 to Possession Only License No. DPR-3 for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station. This amendment was in response to your application dated January 14, 2003.
The amendment revised the Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station License and Technical Specifications to delete operational and administrative requirements that would no longer be required once the spent nuclear fuel has been transferred from the spent fuel pool to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).
Subsequent to issuance, it was noted that the date of issuance was omitted from page 2 of the license amendment and that the incorrect issuance date was included on the change bars for the amended license pages. Corrected copies of those pages are enclosed.
Sincerely,
/RA/
