SUBJECT:
PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 2 - CORRECTION LETTER FOR AMENDMENT NO. 216 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-60 (EPID L-2018-LLA-0147)
Dear Mr. Sharp:
On July 30, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued Amendment No. 228 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-42 and Amendment No. 216 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-60 for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, respectively (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19140A447). The amendments revised the licenses for PINGP, Units 1 and 2, to modify the fire protection program. Specifically, the amendments deleted several modifications which are required as part of PINGPs implementation of its risk-informed, performance-based fire protection program in accordance with paragraph 50.48(c) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, National Fire Protection Association Standard 805. Subsequently, the NRC staff issued corrections to that amendmet by letters dated August 24, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19225D217), and September 19, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19255H201).
This letter corrects the issuance of Amendment No. 216 for PINGP, Unit 2. This correction letter makes changes to the license that were not intended to be changed with the license amendment that are all administrative changes. The following administrative changes are being made from the correction letter issued September 19, 2019, to reflect existing license condition for both units, prior to the issuance of that correction letter because the amendment did not intend to change these conditions:
License condition 2.C.(4)(c) for PINPG, Unit 2:
o Change citation at the end of the condition 2.C.(4)(c)1. from 2.C.(v)(b)2 to 2.C.(4)(b)2.
o Add a comma after facility in condition 2.C.(4)(c)2.
License condition 2.C.(5) for PINGP, Unit 2, Additional Conditions o Change the amendment number 200 to 204
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at (301) 415-3733.
Sincerely,
/RA/
