UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 September 28,2011 Mr. J. R. Morris Site Vice President Catawba Nuclear Station Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC 4800 Concord Road York, SC 29745
SUBJECT:
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2 (CATAWBA 2), CORRECTION LETTER FOR LETTER DATED AUGUST 2,2010 (TAC NO. MD4709)
Dear Mr. Morris:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), by letter dated August 16, 2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), Accession No. ML072270076), made an administrative license change to Renewed Facility Operating License (RFOL) NPF-52 for Catawba 2. (No amendment numbers accompanied this administrative license change). This administrative license change incorporated the mitigation strategies required by Section B.5.b of Commission Order EA-02-026.
In issuing the administrative license change dated August 16, 2007, however, the NRC staff introduced errors into paragraph 0 of RFOL NPF-52. To correct these errors, the NRC staff issued a correction letter dated August 2, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101950476).
In issuing the correction letter dated August 2,2010, however, the NRC staff inadvertently introduced a new set of errors into RFOL NPF-52, involving primarily the use of obsolete amendment numbers and the use of the obsolete name for Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the old name was Duke Power Company, LLC).
This correction letter is being issued to correct the errors introduced by the NRC staff's correction letter dated August 2, 2010. All errors introduced into RFOL-52 by the NRC staff's letter dated August 16, 2007, were corrected by the NRC staff's letter dated August 2, 2010.
Enclosed are the corrected license pages 5 and 6 for RFOL NPF-52 to reflect the correct company name in Sections 2.C.(7) and 2.E and ensure the correct amendment numbers in section 2.C.(7) and at the bottom right of pages 5 and 6.
Amendment No. 254 to RFOL NPF-52 should have included license page 5 among the license pages changed, with Amendment No. 254 referenced in paragraph 2.C.(7) of license page 5.
This correction is being made by this letter as well.
J. Morris
