Subject:
Supplemental Information Regarding License Amendment Application to Increase Allowable Power (License Amendment Request No. 00-0006)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On October 12, 2001, the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an application for an amendment to the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS), Unit Number 1, Operating License Number NPF-3, Appendix A Technical Specifications, regarding a proposed increase in allowable power. The proposed amendment (DBNPS letter Serial Number 2692) would make the necessary TS changes to allow an increase in the authorized rated thermal power from 2772 MWt to 2817 MWt (approximately 1.63%), based on the use of Caldon Inc. Leading Edge Flow Meter (LEFM) CheckPlusrm System instrumentation to improve the accuracy of the feedwater mass flow input to the plant power calorimetric measurement.
FENOC submitted supplemental information in support of the license amendment application on February 27, 2002 (Serial Number 2759) and April 6, 2003 (Serial Number 2815).
By letter dated April 29, 2003 (Log Number 6085), FENOC was notified that the NRC staff had suspended review of the license amendment application and closed associated TAC No.
MB3280. The letter further stated that the NRC would await a letter from FENOC stating that FENOC was ready for the review to recommence.
The purpose of this letter is to notify the NRC that FENOC will review and update the October 12, 2001 license amendment application and the supplemental letters dated February 27, 2002 and April 6, 2003, and will validate the updated application, taking into account changes incorporated into the plant design subsequent to the original submittal. These changes are mainly due to the extensive design basis reviews, revisions to analyses and 4oo1
Docket Number 50-346 License Number NPF-3 Serial Number 2976 Page 2 calculations, and the plant modifications made during the ongoing Thirteenth Refueling Outage (13RFO). Completion of this activity will be constrained by resource availability until after restart from the 13RFO, and will include the request for recommencement of NRC review of the license amendment application.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Kevin L. Ostrowski, Manager - Regulatory Affairs, at (419) 321-8450.
