Mrs. Nair, We are near completion of amendments for the Catawba Nuclear Station (Catawba), Units 1 and 2, to revise their Technical Specifications (TS). Specifically, The amendments revise TS, 3.8.1, AC [Alternating Current] Sources - Operating, to extend the Completion Time (CT) of Condition B for an inoperable emergency diesel generator (DG) from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 14 days. To support this request, Catawba will add a supplemental power source (i.e., two supplemental diesel generators (SDGs)) with the capability to power any emergency bus. The affected SDGs will have the capacity to bring the affected unit to cold shutdown. The supplemental AC power source will be referred to as the Emergency Supplemental Power Source (ESPS).

Additionally, TS 3.8.1 is being revised to reflect two new Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) that are necessary to assure operability of the power sources from the opposite unit, which support necessary shared systems. The first new item reflects a qualified circuit between the offsite transmission network and the opposite units Onsite Essential Auxiliary Power System that is necessary to supply power to the Nuclear Service Water System (NSWS),

Control Room Area Ventilation System (CRAVS), Control Room Area Chilled Water System (CRACWS) and Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust System (ABFVES) (i.e., shared systems). The second new item reflects a DG from the opposite unit that is necessary to supply power to the NSWS, CRAVS, CRACWS and ABFVES. Corresponding Conditions, Required Actions, and CTs are also being proposed for these new LCOs.

The application is dated May 2, 2017 as supplemented by letters dated July 20 and November 21, 2017, October 8, 2018, March 7, April 8, and July 10, 2019 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML17122A116, ML17201Q132, ML17325A588, ML18281A010, ML19066A354, ML19099A046, and ML19191A177, respectively).

The no significant hazards consideration determination was noticed in the Federal Register on February 27, 2017 (82 FR 8521), attached.

Duke Energy combined the Catawba incoming license amendment requests with a similar change for the McGuire Nuclear Station. The NRC issued separated the reviews and the McGuire amendments were issued on June 28, 2019.
