NLS2010051 Page 1 of 1 Attachment 2 Changes to the Cooper Nuclear Station License Renewal Application As a result of reviewing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Safety Evaluation Report (SER), the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) identified certain corrections/enhancements to the License Renewal Application (LRA). They are presented in underline/strikeout format.

1. LRA Section A.1.1.33 will be revised as follows:

Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) does not have a standby capsule. Moreover, the third License Condition described in Section 1.7 of the NRC SER subsumes the need to make this commitment should NPPD acquire one in the future. Accordingly, it is being deleted.
