UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 21, 2016 Mr. Marty L. Richey Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Beaver Valley Power Station Mail Stop A-BV-SEB1 P.O. Box 4, Route 168 Shippingport, PA 15077

SUBJECT:

CORRECTION TO BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT 2- RELIEF REQUEST 2-TYP-3-RV-04, REVISION 0, REGARDING REPAIR ACTIVITIES FOR REACTOR VESSEL HEAD PENETRATION NOZZLES AND ASSOCIATED J-GROOVE WELDS (CAC NO. MF6776)

Dear Mr. Richey:

By letter dated June 17, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16147A362), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorized Relief Request 2-TYP-3-RV-04, Revision 0, requested by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) in its letter dated September 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15273A066). Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(z)(1 ), the relief request was for an alternative to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, associated with repair activities for reactor vessel head penetration nozzles and associated J-groove welds at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 (BVPS-2).

This letter corrects errors in the NRC's letter issued on June 17, 2016. The letter mistakenly referred to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) and Unit 1 (i.e., BVPS-1) in its authorization of the alternative.

The licensee's request for the use of the alternative requested in its September 30, 2015 letter is authorized for BVPS-2 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1 ).

M. Richey If you have any questions, please, contact the Project Manager, Taylor A. Lamb, at (301) 415-7128 or by e-mail at Taylor.Lamb@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Douglas A. Broaddus, Chief Plant Licensing Branch 1-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-412 cc: Distribution via Listserv
