I entered the condition into Pilgri m's corrective action program and have already had Document Control co rrect the controlled copy with the correct page which is attached. Please use the attached page for the controlled copy you are working with. I believe you told me the NRC's

Resolution of discrepancy between NRC and Entergy controlled versions of Pilgrim Tech Specs

Perry and Jim, Pilgrim TS Section 3/4.4 Standby Liquid Control System was amended by License Amendment 169, which over hauled and consolidated the section resulting in pages 3/4.4-3, 3/4.4-4, and 3/4.4-5 bei ng removed. That is why there are only TS pages 3/4.4-1 and 3/4.4-2 for that section. Also note that License Amendment 170 later made a change to a portion of TS page 3/4.4-1. Therefore last amendment affecti ng page 3/4.4-1 is LA 170 and last amendment affecti ng page 3/4.4-2 is LA 169.

Pilgrim TS Section 3/4.8 and TS Section 7/8 were amended by License Amendmat 177. LA 177 relocated TS pages 3/4.8-3 through 20 and Section 7/8 pages 1-17 to the Pilgrim O ffsite Dose Calculation Manual.

Therefore, with respect to theses sections I am confident that the CD I sent you containing the Pilgrim controlled copy of Tech Specs is

correct.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Replacement page 3/4.2-17

Perry,

Pilgrim inadvertently issued an in correct page 3/4.2-17 into our controlled Tech Specs when they we re updated for License Amendment 200. I entered the condition into Pilgri m's corrective action program and have already had Document Control co rrect the controlled copy with the correct page which is attached. Please use the attached page for the controlled copy you are working with. I believe you told me the NRC's version was correct - it was the ve rsion on the CD I sent you that was incorrect.
