==Dear Mr. Cimorelli:==


On May 20, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML 16141A098}, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-14 and NPF-22 for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2, respectively.
On May 20, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
The amendments revised the SSES, Units 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TSs) to adopt the NRC-approved Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler (TSTF)-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control -RITSTF Initiative 5b." These amendments, in part, resulted in TS 3.6.4.1 replacing the specified frequency of Surveillance Requirements 3.6.4.1.4 and 3.6.4.1.5 with "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program." Subsequent to the issuance of Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 issued May 20, 2016, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (the licensee) notified the NRC by letter dated September 11, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 18254A342), that an administrative error was made on SSES, Units 1 and 2, TS page 3.6-37. Specifically, during the issuance of the amendments to modify the TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program, a typographical error was inadvertently introduced in TS 3.6.4.1, "Secondary Containment." During the markup process for the TS change, the removal of the frequency notes associated with Surveillance Requirements 3.6.4.1.4 and 3.6.4.1.5 was missed. Each frequency note states to "Test each configuration at least one time every 60 months." These frequency notes restrict the licensee from independently managing the frequency of the associated surveillance, which is contrary to the intent of TSTF-425.

The NRC staff has determined that this error was made inadvertently.

Specifically, during the issuance of the amendments to modify the TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program, a typographical error was inadvertently introduced in TS 3.6.4.1, "Secondary Containment."
The correction does not change any of the conclusions associated with the issuance of Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 and does not affect the associated notice to the public. This inadvertent change was neither addressed in the notice for the amendments nor reviewed as part of the license amendment request. Enclosed are the corrected TS page 3.6-37 for Amendment Nos. 266 and 247. The revised pages contain an additional marginal line indicating the area of change.

SUBJECT:

SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2-CORRECTION TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PAGE 3.6-37 FOR ERROR INTRODUCED DURING THE ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NOS. 266 AND 247

Dear Mr. Cimorelli:

On May 20, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Package Accession No. ML16141A098}, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-14 and NPF-22 for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments revised the SSES, Units 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TSs) to adopt the NRC-approved Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler (TSTF)-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control - RITSTF Initiative 5b." These amendments, in part, resulted in TS 3.6.4.1 replacing the specified frequency of Surveillance Requirements 3.6.4.1.4 and 3.6.4.1.5 with "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."

Subsequent to the issuance of Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 issued May 20, 2016, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (the licensee) notified the NRC by letter dated September 11, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18254A342), that an administrative error was made on SSES, Units 1 and 2, TS page 3.6-37. Specifically, during the issuance of the amendments to modify the TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program, a typographical error was inadvertently introduced in TS 3.6.4.1, "Secondary Containment."

During the markup process for the TS change, the removal of the frequency notes associated with Surveillance Requirements 3.6.4.1.4 and 3.6.4.1.5 was missed. Each frequency note states to "Test each configuration at least one time every 60 months." These frequency notes restrict the licensee from independently managing the frequency of the associated surveillance, which is contrary to the intent of TSTF-425.

The NRC staff has determined that this error was made inadvertently. The correction does not change any of the conclusions associated with the issuance of Amendment Nos. 266 and 247 and does not affect the associated notice to the public. This inadvertent change was neither addressed in the notice for the amendments nor reviewed as part of the license amendment request. Enclosed are the corrected TS page 3.6-37 for Amendment Nos. 266 and 247. The revised pages contain an additional marginal line indicating the area of change.

K. Cimorelli If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-1387 or by e-mail at Tanya.Hood@nrc.gov.
