SUBJECT:
CORRECTED ISSUANCE OF RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. NPF-35 AND NPF-52 FOR CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Tuckman:
On December 5, 2003, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued renewed licenses for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. Subsequently, your staff identified errors in the Renewed Facility Operating License (FOL) for Unit 1 and the Technical Specifications (TS) included with the renewed licenses for Units 1 and 2. Due to administrative errors, the parenthetical statement on page 2, Section 1E of the FOL for Unit 1 should have been on page 1, Section 1D and TS page 3.3.2-13 was not included with the renewed license.
Furthermore, TS pages 3.3.2-8 through 3.3.2-13 were not included in the ADAMS (ML033070060) version of the renewed licenses. Enclosed are the corrected FOL pages 1 and 2 for Unit 1 and TS pages 3.3.2-8 through 3.3.2-13 for Units 1 and 2. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
/RA/
