Document Control Desk PLA-8025 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna), submitted, in Reference 1, a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License numbers NPF-14 and NPF-22. The proposed amendment would modify TS 3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) Instrumentation. Specifically, the proposed amendment would modify the TS Allowable Values for the ECCS Instrumentation, Core Spray and Low Pressure Coolant Injection Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low Instrumentation Functions 1.c, 1.d, 2.c, and 2.d, in TS Table 3.3.5.1-1. In response to Reference 2, Susquehanna provided supplemental information in Reference 3, including revised TS markups which superseded those provided in Reference 1 in their entirety. Reference 5 responded to the Request for Additional Information documented in Reference 4; this response did not impact the previously provided TS markups.
Susquehanna is supplementing these responses to editorially revise the Unit 2 TS markups provided in Reference 3; the enclosed markups will supersede those provided for Unit 2 in Reference 3. The enclosed markups shift the entirety of Function 2, Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) System, to page 2 of TS Table 3.3.5.1-1. No other changes were made to the markups provided in Reference 3. The intent of the change is to align the format of Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS Table 3.3.5.1-1.
Susquehanna has reviewed the information supporting a finding of No Significant Hazards Consideration and the Environmental Consideration provided to the NRC in Reference 1 and determined the information provided herein does not impact the original conclusions in Reference 1.
There are no new or revised regulatory commitments contained in this submittal.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Ms. Melisa Krick, Manager - Nuclear Regulatory Affairs, at (570) 542-1818.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on August 10, 2022.
