SUBJECT:
WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 1 - CORRECTION TO AMENDMENT NO. 161 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-90 (EPID L-2023-LLA-0064)
Dear Mr. Barstow:
During the recent issuance of Amendment No. 161 to the Watts Bar, Unit 1, Facility Operating License and technical specifications on May 5, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23125A220), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff did not include revised page 3 of Facility Operating License No. NPF-
- 90. The purpose of this letter is to issue revised page 3 of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (Watts Bar), Unit 1, Facility Operating License No. NPF-90. The NRC concludes that this omission does not change the staffs previous conclusion in the safety evaluation for issuance of Amendment No. 161 nor does it affect the no significant hazards consideration. Enclosed, please find revised page 3 of Facility Operating License No. NPF-90 for Amendment No. 161.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-1627 or by email at Kimberly.Green@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Kimberly J. Green, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch II-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-390
