SUBJECT:

CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 RE: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (TAC NOS. MB8106, MB8107, MB8109 AND MB8110)

Dear Mr. Peterson:

By letter dated March 20, 2003, you submitted an application for amendment of the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, (Catawba) to revise the reactor vessel pressure-temperature (P-T) limits in the Catawba TS. The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission technical staff has reviewed the application and has determined that additional information is required, as follows:

1.

Provide the reactor coolant system temperatures and corresponding metal temperatures and thermal stress intensity factors at the 1/4-thickness and 3/4-thickness locations in tabular format for all heatup and cooldown P-T limitations.

2.

TS Figure 3.4.3-1 (TS page number 3.4.3-3, Unit 1) heatup limitations (criticality limitations) need to be modified to reflect the effects of closure head flange and vessel flange.

We discussed these issues with your staff on June 2, 2003. Your staff indicated that you would attempt to provide your response by June 12, 2003.

Please contact me at (301) 415-1493, if you have any other questions on these issues.

Sincerely,

/RA/
