SUBJECT:
QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - CORRECTION OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS IN ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS DATED MARCH 9, 2006 (TAC NOS. MC7312 AND MC7313)
Dear Mr. Crane:
We recently found typographical errors in the following amendments issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission):
Amendments to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), Units 1 and 2, issued on March 9, 2006, regarding feedwater trip setpoints, used an incorrect amendment number of 330 for QCNPS, Unit 1, when the correct amendment number should have been 230. In addition, the word Renewed has been added to affected pages to reflect the operating license status.
The errors, inadvertently introduced, are corrected in the enclosed QCNPS Technical Specification pages 3.3.2.2-1, 3.3.2.2-2, and 3.3.2.2-3, and other associated pages of the March 9, 2006, letter. The Notice of Issuance published in the Commission's biweekly Federal Register notice on March 28, 2006 (71 FR 15492), regarding the amendment is also being corrected.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, Commissioin) dated June 15, 2005 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number ML051730461), Exelon Generation Company, LLC, et al. (the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Quad Cities). The proposed amendment would revise TS 3.3.2.2, ?Feedwater System and Main Turbine High Water Level Trip Instrumentation and the related bases.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The NRC staff finds that the licensee in Section 5.2 of its submittal identified the applicable regulatory requirements. The regulatory requirements for which the NRC staff based its acceptance are the Commissions regulatory requirements for TS changes set forth in the Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36, ?Technical Specifications, for this evaluation. Specifically, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) specifies the requirements for limiting conditions for operation (LCO), and 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) specifies the surveillance requirements (SRs). In addition, the NRC staff considered guidance and information in NUREG-1433,
?Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants BWR/4, Revision 3, in its evaluation.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees regulatory and technical analyses in support of its proposed license amendment which are described in Section 4.0 of the licensees submittal.
The detailed evaluation below will support the conclusion that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
