Technical Specifications Proposed Change No. 273, Supplement 8, Transmittal of Final Technical Specification Pages Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-271 License No. DPR-28 1. Letter, VYNPS to USNRC, 'Technical Specification Proposed Change No. 273 Instrumentation Technical Specifications," BVY 08-001, dated February 12, 2008
Dear Sir or Madam:
In Reference (1), Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc. (ENO) submitted a proposed change to the instrumentation sections of the Vermont Yankee Operating License Technical Specifications (TS). Attachment 1 to this submittal provides the final TS pages that have been updated to reflect all supplements.
In addition, during final review, two minor editorial changes were made to accurately reflect the location of information.
These were: " Table of Contents, page "i", was revised to reflect that the degraded grid protection system specifications start on page 68 versus page 67 previously identified.
- A blank page was inserted as page 28 to make the TS Bases for Section 3.1 start on page 29 as noted on the Table of Contents.This supplement to the original license amendment request does not change the scope or conclusions in the original application, nor does it change ENO's determination of no significant hazards consideration.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions or require additional information concerning this submittal, please contact Mr. David J. Mannai at (802) 451-3304.,4oof BVY 09-035 / Page 2 of 2 I declare under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and accurate.
Executed on May 20, 2009.Sincerely,
