SUBJECT:
EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 2 - CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NO. 197 REGARDING LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST REGARDING REFUELING INTERLOCKS (TAC NOS. MD4444 AND MD4445)
Dear Ms. Coleman:
On October 4, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 197 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML072410048) to Renewed Facility Operating License (RFOL) NPF-5 for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (Hatch), Unit 2.
Amendment No. 197 revised Hatch, Unit 2, Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.9.1, Refueling Equipment Interlocks.
A typographical error was made on the issuance of TS pages 3.9-1 and 3.9-2. The page header for TS 3.9.1 states:
B 3.9.1 The page header for TS 3.9.1 should state:
3.9.1 Consistent with NRC staff guidance dated January 16, 1997 (ML103260096), and based on the NRCs policy established by SECY-96-238, these errors can be corrected by a letter to the licensee from the NRC staff. These changes do not affect the NRC decision approving amendment No. 266 and do not affect the No Significant Hazards Consideration as published in the Federal Register.
Enclosed please find corrected Hatch, Unit 2, TS pages TS 3.9-1 and TS 3.9-1.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-3100 or John.Lamb@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
John G. Lamb, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch II-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No.: 50-366
