UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 5, 2015 Mr. Oscar A. Limpias Vice President-Nuclear and CNO Nebraska Public Power District 72676 648A Avenue Brownville, NE 68321

COOPER NUCLEAR STATION-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENT CHANGE REGARDING TORUS RECOATING

Dear Mr. Limpias:

By letter dated September 29, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15280A357), Nebraska Public Power District, the licensee for Cooper Nuclear Station, submitted a letter informing the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of a revision to two license renewal commitments associated with inspection and coating of the torus. Instead of recoating the torus as originally committed, the licensee chose to perform an analysis following each torus inspection to ensure that the projected pitting of the torus up to the next inspection interval will not result in reduction of torus wall thickness below minimum acceptable values.

The NRC staff acknowledges the change in commitments and has no objections.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-4037 or via e-mail at Thomas. Wengert@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, r\:~~
