STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) is supplementing the License Amendment Request (LAR) that was submitted via Reference 1 and supplemented via Reference 2. In Reference 2, a typographical error was introduced in the clean and marked up Technical Specification page for page 3/4 4-20. This supplement corrects that typographical error and does not alter the technical content of the LAR.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions regarding this submission, please contact Zachary Dibbern at (361) 972-4336 or me at (361) 972-4778.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4.6.2 Reactor Coolant System operational leakage shall be limited to:
- a. No PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE,
- b. 1 gpm UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE,
- c. 150 gallons per day of primary-to-secondary leakage through any one steam generator,
- d. 10 gpm IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE from the Reactor Coolant System, and
- e. 0.5 gpm leakage per nominal inch of valve size up to a maximum of 5 gpm at a Reactor Coolant System pressure of 2235 20 psig from any Reactor Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valve specified in Table 3.4-1.*
APPLICABILITY:
MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
ACTION:
- a. With any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE, isolate the affected component, pipe, or vessel from the RCS by use of a closed manual valve, closed and de-activated automatic valve, blind flange, or check valve within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> or, or with primary-to secondary leakage not within limit, be in at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
- b. With Reactor Coolant System operational UNIDENTIFIED or IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE greater than the above limits, reduce leakage to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
- c. With primary-to-secondary leakage not within the limit, be in at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
cd. With any Reactor Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valve leakage greater than the above limit, isolate the high pressure portion of the affected system from the low pressure portion within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> by use of at least two closed manual or deactivated automatic valves, or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
- Test pressures less than 2235 psig but greater than 150 psig are allowed. Observed leakage shall be adjusted for the actual test pressure up to 2235 psig assuming the leakage to be directly proportional to pressure differential to the one-half power.
