AI. 35242 May 11, 2017 Docket Nos.: 50-321 50-366 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission A TIN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant 205 992 5872 tel 205 992 760 I fax jjhutto@southemco.com NL-17-0810 Transmission of Marked-Up and Clean Technical Specifications Pages for Section 5.5.15 for HNP Implementation of TSTF-500, "DC Electrical Rewrite" Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated August 11, 2015, the Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) to adopt TSTF-500, "Direct Current (DC) Electrical Re-write", for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2. Several requests for additional information (RAI) and their subsequent responses have since been docketed between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and SNC.
On April 4, 2017, SNC provided to NRC updated TS pages for TSTF-500, marked-up on the current latest TS pages. The intent was to provide all the marked-up and clean TS pages associated with TSTF-500. However, the pages for Section 5.5.15, the new proposed "Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program", were inadvertently omitted.
Consequently, this letter provides the marked-up and clean pages for Section 5.5.15.
Additionally, the TS Table of Contents (TOC) for Section 5.5 is also provided, since some of the page numbers changed as a result of the addition of Section 5.5.15. For continuity, TOC pages iii and iv, for Unit 1 and Unit 2 respectively, are also provided. Therefore, the TOG pages included in this letter supersede the TOG pages sent in the April4, 2017, letter.
Because their page numbers changed as a result of the addition of Section 5.5.15, the clean pages making up the remainder of Section 5.5, following Section 5.5.15, are also provided. There were no substantive changes made to these sections; only their page numbers changed.
The marked-up and clean pages for LCO 3.8.4, 3.8.5, and 3.8.6 supplied in the April 4 letter remain valid.
/
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-17-0810 Page 2 This letter contains no new NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact Ken McElroy at 205.992.7369.
Mr. J.J. Hutto states he is Regulatory Affairs Director of Southern Nuclear Operating Company, is authorized to execute this oath on behalf of Southern Nuclear Operating Company and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the facts set forth in this letter are true.
