SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -

CORRECTION LETTER FOR AMENDMENTS 238 AND 226 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES (EPID L-2021-LLA-0069)

Dear Mr. Domingos:

On April 1, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued Amendment No. 238 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-42 and Amendment No. 226 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-60 for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22061A206). The amendments consisted of changes to the technical specification (TSs) regarding incorporation of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) travelers TSTF-471 and TSTF-571, as well as administrative changes to TSs Section 5.0 to remove unused pages.

The amendments did not revise any wording in TSs Section 5.0; however, in the course of issuing the revised TS pages, the word year was inadvertently removed from the last sentence in TS 5.5.6, Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program, on page 5.5-5: of exposed surfaces of the removed flywheels may be conducted at 20 year intervals.

This letter corrects Amendment Nos. 238 and 226 to restore TS 5.5.6 to the wording as approved in Amendment Nos. 170 and 160 when the inspection interval for TS 5.5.6, Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program, was increased from 10 years to 20 years (ML051510045).

The NRC staff concludes that the error was introduced during the preparation of the license amendments and is entirely editorial in nature. The proposed correction does not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments referenced above and does not affect the associated notices to the public. Enclosed, please find the corrected replacement page.

C. Domingos If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at (301) 415-3733.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Robert F. Kuntz, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-282 and 50-306
