UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 23, 2012 Mr. Adam C. Heflin Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Union Electric Company P.O. Box 620 Fulton, MO 65251

SUBJECT:

CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 - CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NO. 204 RE:

REVISION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.3.8, "EMERGENCY EXHAUST SYSTEM (EES) ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION" (TAC NO. ME5173)

Dear Mr. Heflin:

On December 30, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML113340041), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) issued the Amendment No. 204 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-30, for the Callaway Plant, Unit 1. The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated December 10,2010, as supplemented by letters dated June 16, October 27, and December 13, 2011 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML103470204, ML111680233, ML113010383, and ML113480060, respectively).

The amendment added new Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.8.6, to TS 3.3.8, "Emergency Exhaust System (EES) Actuation Instrumentation." The new SR requires the performance of response time testing on the portion of the EES required to isolate the normal fuel building ventilation exhaust flow path and initiate the fuel building ventilation isolation signal mode of operation. The amendment also revised TS Table 3.3.8-1, "EES Actuation Instrumentation," to state that the new SR 3.3.8.6 applies to automatic actuation Function 2, Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays (BOP ESFAS), and Function 3, Fuel Building Exhaust Radiation Gaseous. In addition, the specified frequency of new SR 3.3.8.6 would be relocated and controlled in accordance with the licensee's Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

By e-mail datedJanuary19.2012(ADAMSAccessionNo.ML120670119). the licensee informed the NRC staff that Amendment No. 204 did not include the revised implementation schedule as requested in the licensee's supplement dated June 16, 2011. In that letter, the licensee revised its original request for implementation within 90 days with the following exception:

Since SR 3.3.8.6 is a new Surveillance Requirement the first required performance will come due by the end of the first surveillance interval that begins or is in effect on the date of implementation of this amendment. (ThiS is similar to the License Condition applied to new Surveillance Requirements added by License Amendment 133 for the ITS Conversion.) As such, if the license Clmendment is issued pr'or to

A. Heflin -2 October 1, 2011, SR 3.3.8.6 will first be met during Refuel 18. If the license amendment is issued after October 1, 2011, SR 3.3.8.6 will first be met during Refuel 19 (spring 2013).

Failure to consider the above exception in Issuance of Amendment No. 204 was an administrative error on the part of the NRC. This error does not change the staff's conclusions regarding Amendment No. 204. The implementation date for Amendment No. 204 is revised for revised SR 3.3.8.6 to be first met during Refuel 19 (Spring 2013). Enclosed is a corrected page 2 of the amendment letter, with the correction denoted by a vertical bar Please discard the associated page 2 from the previous amendment letter and replace it with the enclosed page.

If you have any questions, please call me at (301-415-1476 or by electronic mail at mohan. thadani@nrc.gov.
