Ladies and Gentlemen:

By letter dated May 16, 2002, Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) Company submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) to increase the authorized reactor power level for the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant (HBRSEP), Unit No. 2. A supplement to this license amendment request was submitted by letter dated August 12, 2002. In that supplement, it was stated that an evaluation had been completed that determined the current analysis of record for the listed radiological accidents supports operation at the uprated power level for approximately 95% of Cycle 22 (approximately 504 effective full power days [EFPD]).

This letter provides a proposed amendment to the Operating License that will identify the EFPD limitation as a license condition for HBRSEP, Unit No. 2. This restriction is being adopted in lieu of completion of another proposed license amendment pertaining to the full implementation of an alternative radiological source term (AST). The proposed license condition can be discontinued when the full AST license amendment is completed.

Attachment I provides an Affirmation as required by 10 CFR 50.30(b). Attachment II provides 4the proposed license condition associated with this license amendment request.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b), CP&L is providing the State of South Carolina with a copy of this letter.

The additional information provided by this letter does not affect the basis or justification for the proposed TS change, including the evaluation of No Significant Hazards Consideration provided within the August 12, 2002, submittal.
