By letter dated June 27, 2007, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a License Renewal Application (LRA) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 1 and 2, seeking to extend the terms of the operating licenses an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration dates. Amendment 1 to the LRA was provided by letter dated March 20, 2008. Amendment 2 to the LRA was provided by letter dated June 26, 2008.

In response to RAls and questions during audits and inspections, seven additional commitments were added to the VEGP License Renewal Future Action Commitment List submitted with Amendment 2 to the LRA. Enclosure 1 of this letter provides amendments to Appendix A of the LRA to incorporate these commitments into the UFSAR Supplement.

Enclosure 2 of this letter is the updated VEGP License Renewal Future Action Commitment List with references added for the applicable LRA sections of AppendixA.

(Affirmation and signature are provided on the following page.)

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Renewal - LRA Amendment 3 Enclosure 1 VEGP License Renewal Application Amendment 3

Enclosure 1 NL-08-1230 Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 Application for License Renewal - Amendment 3 Changes Resulting from Updated Future Action Commitment List Provided in June 26, 2008 Letter Audit Section A.2.38, page A-23 Question Add the following to the end of the section:

4.3-14

5. SNC will revise the FatiguePro software to calculate a minimum projected value of RAI 4.3-2 1 for any events that may potentially occur.

RAI 4.3-04

6. SNC will revise the FatiguePro initial CUF values for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 hot leg surge nozzles, pressurizer surge nozzles, and pressurizer heater penetrations to double the current values and recalculate the current and projected CUFs.
7. SNC will implement a fatigue management software program that uses six stress components in the stress-based fatigue calculation. The software will be appropriately benchmarked against an ASME NB-3200 fatigue analysis and the stress-based fatigue monitoring locations will be modeled with the as-built configuration. The new software will be used to re-project 60-year CUF values for the monitored locations. When those locations were evaluated for environmental effects on fatigue, the new software will also be used to demonstrate the environmental effects on fatigue will be adequately managed for those locations during the period of extended operation.

Audit Section A.3.6.1, page A-32 Question Add the following to the end of the section:

4.7-01 WCAP-10551-P, Addendum 1 performed a LBB evaluation for the Units 1 and 2 primary loop piping that explicitly addressed the PWSCC concern for the Alloy 82/182 welds in this piping. However, the NRC has not yet accepted the process used as adequately addressing their concerns. Once the NRC has accepted a process for addressing PWSCC of Alloy 82/182 welds in LBB evaluations and at least two years prior to the period of extended operation, SNC will verify the LBB evaluation in WCAP-10551-P, Addendum 1 meets the conditions of that process or have it re-performed using the acceptable process.

Audit Section A.2.28, page A-18 Question Add the following to the end of the section:

B.3.28-04 VEGP will monitor spent fuel pool aluminum concentrations to ensure the Boral spent fuel racks will continue to perform their intended function during the period of extended operation. If adverse trends are identified SNC will implement corrective actions. Additionally, SNC will monitor industry experience related to Boral and will take appropriate actions if significant degradation of Boral is identified.
