KEWAUNEE POWER STATION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 249: KEWAUNEE POWER STATION CONVERSION TO IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (TAC NO. ME2139) -

SUPPLEMENT TO VOLUMES 7, 10, 12, AND 16 By letter dated August 24, 2009 (reference 1), as supplemented by letters dated May 12, 2010 (reference 2), April 13, 2010 (two letters) (references 3 and 4), October 22, 2009, (reference 5), and July 1, 2010 (reference 6) Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.

(DEK) submitted an application to amend the Kewaunee Power Station (Kewaunee)

Technical Specifications. This application, License Amendment Request 249 (LAR 249), requested a conversion of the current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), consistent with the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) as described in NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants," Revision 3.0, and certain generic changes to the NUREG.

The purpose of this letter is to supplement the subject application. Specifically, this letter complements and revises the original license amendment request based on responses to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests for additional information (RAIs). These RAIs and the associated DEK responses are posted on a publicly available website, the NRC and DEK Kewaunee ITS Conversion Website (http://www.excelservices.com), and are hereby docketed by submittal of this letter.

To facilitate NRC review of LAR 249, the proposed ITS conversion was divided into 14 sections. Each section and its associated reviewer are listed in Attachment 3. On the ITS Conversion Website, each RAI is uniquely identified by the initials of the NRC staff member who initiated the RAI and a corresponding sequential number.

This letter supplements the following Reference 1, Attachment 1, Revision 0 Volumes:

" Volume 7, ITS Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits

" Volume 10, ITS Section 3.5, Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS)

" Volume 12, ITS Section 3.7, Plant Systems

" Volume 16, ITS Chapter 5.0, Administrative Controls A-oo (

Serial No.10-428 Page 2 of 6 A previous letter provided supplements to Revision 0 Volumes (Volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 15) (reference 6). A future letter will provide supplements for the remaining Revision 0 Volumes (Volumes 1, 2, 8, 13, and 14).

A Summary of Changes page is included at the beginning of each Volume. Each Summary of Changes page identifies all changes made to the previous submittal (Revision 0), including a brief description of the change and the affected page numbers in the Revision 1 Volume. Attachment 1 of this letter provides the detailed descriptions and justifications to support the proposed changes.

In addition, the affected Revision 1 pages have a revision bar to the right of the change to aid in identification. Further details related to each specific change can be obtained by reviewing the RAI/response information located in the Enclosure. In the Enclosure, a blue coloring identifies the changes submitted in Reference 1 (Revision 0). The changes to Revision 0 are a different color for ease of identification.

The Enclosure to this letter also contains the NRC RAIs and DEKs associated responses for Volumes 7, 10, 12, and 16. Each RAI/response includes the question asked by the NRC staff reviewer, DEKs response, proposed changes to pages contained in LAR 249 Attachment 1 (CTS, Discussion of Changes (DOCs), ITS, Justification for Deviations (JFDs), ITS Bases, and/or Bases JFD pages), any attached supporting documentation, and RAI closure documentation. provides supplemental information explaining how the Enclosure RAIs are organized and other pertinent information related to the RAIs/responses.

DEK has evaluated these proposed changes in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(a)(1) using the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92(c), and has concluded that the determination of no significant hazards considerations in the original ITS submittal remains valid. In addition, DEK has determined that the proposed amendment, including this supplement to the original ITS submittal, continues to meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(b), and no environmental impact' statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

DEK continues to request approval of the proposed amendment and an implementation period as stated in Reference 1.

A copy of this supplement has been provided to the State of Wisconsin in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b).
