PPL Letter PLA -6098,from B. T. McKinney (PPL)to Document Control Desk (NRC)

"10 CFR 50.46 - Annual Report," dated July 25, 2006.

This report is being sent in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii).

10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii) requires (in part) annual reporting of changes to or errors in evaluation models used for calculating Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) performance, and an estimate of their effect on the limiting ECCS analysis. Additionally, a proposed schedule is required for re-analysis or identification of other actions necessary to show compliance with 10 CFR 50.46 requirements.

The ECCS performance evaluation method applicable to both Susquehanna SES Unit 1 and Unit 2 is the AREVA EXEM BWR - 2000 LOCA Methodology. Since the submittal of the last annual 10 CFR 50.46 report (Reference), there have been no non-zero Peak Cladding Temperature (PCT) changes reported to PPL Susquehanna, LLC. Thus, the current licensing basis PCT remains valid and no further actions are required. This letter meets the annual reporting requirements.

PPL Susquehanna, LLC will continue to track future changes to the evaluation models used in the applicable LOCA analysis methods to ensure that the PCT values remain below the 10 CFR 50.46 limit, and to ensure that the 10 CFR 50.46 reporting requirements are met.

Document Control Desk PLA-6247 If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rocco R. Sgarro, Manager Nuclear Regulatory Affairs at (610) 774-7552.
