SENSITIVE INFORMATION WITHHOLD FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE V UNDER 10 CFR 2.390 Amerefl MISSOURI Callaway Plant June 26, 2020 ULNRC-06586 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 10 CFR 50.90 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

DOCKET NUMBER 50-483 CALLAWAY PLANT UNIT 1 UNION ELECTRIC CO.

RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-30 REQUEST FOR ONE-TIME LICENSE AMENDMENT TO DEFER UPCOMING STEAM GENERATOR INSPECTION (LDCN 20-0013)

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment of license or construction permit, Ameren Missouri (Union Electric Company) herewith requests, on an expedited basis, approval of a one-time license amendment regarding the steam generator tube inspection required per part d.2 of Callaway Technical Specification 5.5.9, Steam Generator (SG) Program. Specifically, approval of a change to the Technical Specification is requested to allow the steam generator tube inspection (eddy current testing) currently scheduled to be performed during Refuel Outage 24 this coming October (2020) to be deferred such that it would instead be performed during Refuel Outage 25 which is scheduled for the spring of 2022.

Deferral of the required SG tube inspection is necessitated by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) for which a national emergency was declared on March 13, 2020. The upcoming steam generator inspection would require the working together, in close quarters, of numerous employees and vendor personnel from other states and areas. This deferral is being requested in the interest of personnel safety and to preclude the potential for transmittal and spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Attachment 2 to this letter contains sensitive information and should be withheld from public disclosure per 10 CFR 2.390.

Upon removal of Attachment 2, this letter and its other attachments are uncontrolled.
