The staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application and has identified, in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review. Further requests for additional information may be issued in the future.

Items in the enclosure were discussed with Mr. Cliff Custer of your staff, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-2989 or via e-mail at kent.howard@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SECTION 4.2.4 Section 4.2.4 RAI 4.2.4-1 In the BVPS LRA, it is not readily apparent if the Low-Temperature Overpressure Protection System (OPPS) was affected by recent plant changes (extended power uprates). The applicant states that, "As part of any update, the OPPS setpoints (OPPS enable temperature and power-operated relief valve setpoints) for both units are reviewed and updated as required based on the updated P-T limit curves." Please provide additional details or documentation to show if the OPPS itself was/was not affected by the extended power uprate.
