Dear Mr. Jamil:
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated July 19, 2004, Duke Energy Corporation submitted a license amendment request for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and

We discussed these issues with your staff on October 6, 2004. Your staff indicated that you would attempt to provide your response by January 16, 2005.
Please contact me at (301) 415-1842, if you have any questions on these issues.
Sincerely,

Enclosure REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-413 AND 50-414 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the licensees submittal dated July 19, 2004, regarding the replacement of the existing nickel cadmium diesel generator (DG) batteries with lead acid batteries. The NRC staff has identified the following information that is needed to enable the continuation of its review.
Provide a discussion that shows that the design capacities of the DG battery chargers are capable of supporting the proposed DG batteries that utilize lead acid cells (i.e., show that the current DG battery chargers are capable of supplying the largest combined demands of the various steady state loads and that they have the charging capacity to restore the DG lead acid batteries from the design minimum charge state to the fully charged state, irrespective of plant status during these demand occurrences).
