Dear Messrs. Henderson and Capps:
By letter dated May 31,2012, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the licensee), submitted a proposed license amendment to change the Catawba 1 and 2 and McGuire 1 and 2 TSs. The proposed change would revise the technical specifications to modify the end of cycle (EOC) moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) Surveillance Requirement (SR) by allowing an exemption to the SR if certain conditions are met. This conditional exemption from the SR wi" be determined on a cycle-specific basis.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the licensee's submittal and determined that additional information is needed in order to complete our review. The enclosed document describes this RAI. A written response should be provided to the NRC staff within 30 days of the issuance of this letter in order to support our timely review of this application. Please inform me if you are unable to support this response timeframe.
K. Henderson and S. Capps
