This letter requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) approval of a correction to an error in Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Plant (VCSNS) Technical Specifications (TS). This error was inadvertently introduced during issuance of License Amendment 199 (Reference 1). This was neither addressed in the notice to the public nor reviewed by the NRC, and thus falls within the scope of guidance provided in SECY-96-238 (Reference 2).

DOCKET NO. 50-395 OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-12 ENCLOSURE 1 Description of Technical Specification Error A. Requested Action Consistent with the information contained in SECY-96-238, Proposed Guidance for Correction of Technical Specification Typographical Errors, South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G), the licensee for Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS), is requesting correction for an error that was introduced into the VCSNS Technical Specifications (TS) in License Amendment 199 (Reference 1).

B. Typographical Error TS Section 6.8.2 was deleted in License Amendment 188 (Reference 3) and inadvertently re-inserted into the TS in Amendment 199. The request to delete section 6.8.2 on TS page 6-11 was included in LAR-10-03108 (Reference 4) and approved by the NRC in License Amendment 188.

While LAR-10-03108 was still undergoing NRC review, the station submitted LAR 00055 (Reference 5) with section 6.8.2 on TS page 6-11 not deleted. This change page was included in License Amendment 199.

Amendment 199 was approved after Amendment 188 which caused section 6.8.2 on TS page 6-11 to be re-inserted. VCSNS is requesting that TS page 6-11 from License Amendment 199 be reissued with TS Section 6.8.2 deleted as approved in License Amendment 188.

C. Corrections to the Affected TS Page SECY 96-238, (Reference 2) provides guidance to correct inadvertent typographical errors intheTS pages. Specifically:

"...if the licensee can demonstrate that the error was introduced inadvertently in a particular license amendment and that the erroneous change was not addressed in the notice to the public nor reviewed by the staff. Under these limited circumstances, the change that introduced the typographical error was not a proper amendment to the

Document Control Desk CR-16-01992 RC-18-0060 Page 2 of 2 license because it was neither addressed in the notice nor reviewed, and correction of the typographical error is not a "change" to the TS. Accordingly, the typographical error may be corrected by a letter to the licensee from the NRC staff, instead of an amendment to the license...."

The above errors were not noticed to the public, nor reviewed by the NRC as part of the application amendment process. Therefore, these errors may be corrected without a license amendment.
