SUBJECT:

BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2; BYRON STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2; AND R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - CORRECTION TO PAGES ISSUED FOR AMENDMENTS NOS. 225, 225, 227, 227, AND 148, RESPECTIVELY, REGARDING ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN WESTINGHOUSE DOCUMENTS (EPID L-2021-LLA-0066)

Dear Mr. Rhoades:

By letter dated March 22, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Package No. ML22026A489), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 225 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-72 and Amendment No. 225 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-77 for the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, (Braidwood) respectively; Amendment No. 227 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-37 and Amendment No. 227 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-66 for the Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, (Byron) respectively; and Amendment No. 148 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18 for the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). The amendments are in response to your application dated April 7, 2021 (ML21097A226), as supplemented by letter dated August 13, 2021 (ML21225A005).

During final processing to make the documents publicly available, a dark, thick, line was inadvertently introduced on the Braidwood technical specification (TS) pages 3.2.1 - 1 and 3.2.1 - 4. Page 3.2.1 - 4 of both the Braidwood and Byron TSs have dark brackets around the four equations. The amendment number font on all the Braidwood and Byron TS pages is not consistent with the font used for the page text. Ginna TS page 3.2.1 - 2 was inadvertently issued with a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> completion time for B.3. Specifically, for:

Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 1, the dark line is removed and the amendment number font is corrected.

Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 2, the amendment number font is corrected.

Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 4, the dark line is removed, the four equations are reformatted to remove the dark brackets, and the amendment number font is corrected

D. Rhoades Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 1, the amendment number font is corrected Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 2, the amendment number font is corrected Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 4, the four equations on the page are reformatted to remove the dark brackets and the amendment number font is corrected The attachment to license Amendment No. 148 for the Ginna provided instructions to remove page 3.2.1 - 5. This page is a new page and there is no current page to remove.

Ginna TS page 3.2.1 - 2, corrects the B.3 completion time from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

The NRC staff has determined that these were inadvertent typographical or formatting errors and are entirely editorial in nature. The corrections do not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments and do not change the associated notice to the public.

The corrected pages are enclosed and should be replaced as follows:

Remove Insert Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 1 Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 1 Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 2 Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 2 Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 4 Braidwood TS page 3.2.1 - 4 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 1 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 1 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 2 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 2 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 4 Byron TS page 3.2.1 - 4 Ginna page replacement instructions Ginna page replacement instructions Ginna TS page 3.2.1 - 2 Ginna TS page 3.2.1 - 2 If you have any questions concerning this action, please contact me at (301) 415-6066 or by e-mail to Joel.Wiebe@nrc.gov.
