NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO.2 - CORRECTION LETTER TO LICENSE AMENDMENT NO. 140 RE: EXTENDED POWER UPRATE (TAC NO. ME1476)

Dear Mr. Langdon:

On December 22,2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 140 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-69 for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No.2 (NMP2). The amendment increased the authorized maximum steady-state reactor core power level by approximately 15 percent, from the current licensed thermal power of 3,467 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3,988 MWt.

Subsequent to the issuance of the December 22, 2011, letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML113300041), the NRC staff identified that for page 15 of the operating license, the 2nd paragraph of Section 2. E was not included in the amended license page. Enclosed is the correct page 15 for Amendment 140.

The NRC regrets any inconvenience that this administrative error may have caused. If there are any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 301-415-1030.

Sincerely, Richard V. Guzman, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 1-1 Division of Operator Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-410
