April 6, 2021 Mr. Daniel G. Stoddard Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Innsbrook Technical Center 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060-6711

SUBJECT:

NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2, SURRY POWER STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 - CORRECTION TO ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TO ALLOW USAGE OF A SMALL BREAK LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT METHODOLOGY (EPIDS L-2018-LLA-0195 AND L-2018-LLA-0215)

Dear Mr. Stoddard:

On March 19, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML20325A088), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment Nos. 287 and 270 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for the North Anna Power Station (North Anna), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and Amendment Nos. 303 and 303 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37, for the Surry Power Station (Surry), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments revised the North Anna and Surry Technical Specifications to include Framatome Topical Report EMF-2328(P)(A), Revision 0, PWR [pressurized water reactor]

Small Break LOCA [loss-of-coolant accident] Evaluation Model, S-RELAP5 Based, as supplemented by the North Anna plant-specific application report ANP-3467P, Revision 0, North Anna Fuel-Vendor Independent Small Break LOCA Analysis Licensing Report, and Surry plant-specific report ANP-3676P, Surry Fuel-Vendor Independent Small Break LOCA Analysis Licensing Report, in the list of methodologies approved for reference in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR). The amendments also removed obsolete COLR references that supported use of a fuel product that is not planned for future use.

Subsequent to the issuance of the amendments, the NRC recognized it made an administrative error by not including the revised page 3 for NPF-4, NPF-7, DPR-32, and DPR-37 attached to the license amendment.

The NRC staff has determined that these errors were made inadvertently and has corrected the errors. The corrections do not change any of the conclusions associated with the issuance of Amendment Nos. 287 and 270 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for North Anna, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and Amendment Nos. 303 and 303 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37, for Surry, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and do not affect the associated notice to the public. Further, the error did not affect the proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on October 9, 2018

G. Stoddard (83 FR 50697) for Surry and December 4, 2018 (83 FR 62609) for North Anna.

Accordingly, Enclosures 1 and 2 to this letter provide corrected pages for Amendment No.

287 and 270 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for North Anna, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Enclosures 3 and 4 to this letter provide corrected pages for Amendment Nos. 303 and 303 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos.

DPR-32 and DPR-37, for Surry, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.

Sincerely,

/RA/
