SUBJECT:
SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1 -CORRECTION LETTER FOR AMENDMENT NO. 157 RE: CHANGES TO THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR DIRECT CURRENT BATTERIES (CAC NO. MG0046; EPID L-2017-LLA-0289)
Dear Mr. Nazar:
By letter dated August 7, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18199A609), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 157 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-86 for Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. The amendment consisted of changes to the technical specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated July 28, 2017. The amendment revised the TSs such that a direct current (DC) electrical train is operable with one 100 percent capacity battery aligned to both DC buses in the associated electrical train.
Following issuance of the amendment, the licensee informed the NRC staff that a typographical error was found on TS page 3/4 8-15. Specifically, the word "chargers" was misspelled to be "charges" on the first line of the paragraph in Action a of TS 3.8.2.2. The proposed markup TS page submitted in the application dated July 28, 2017, correctly spelled the word "chargers."
The NRC staff determined that this error was inadvertently introduced during the preparation of the license amendment and is administrative in nature. This administrative error does not affect the NRC staff's overall conclusions associated with the approval of Amendment No. 157 and does not affect the associated notice to the public. The corrected TS page 3/4 8-15 is included as the enclosure to this letter.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-2048 or by e-mail at Justin.Poole@nrc.gov.
