Subject:

Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Docket No. 50/395 Boron Dilution Event - FSAR

Dear Mr. Denton:

In FSAR Amendment 24. the attached page 15.2-22b was mistakenly renamed and a new page 15.2-22b was added. The page which was renamed will be added back into the FSAR in the next amendment to bridge the information currently found on pages 15.2-22b and 15.2-23. If you have any questions, please let us know. Very truly yours, T. C. Nichols, Jr. RC:TCN:pj Attachment I CC: V. C. Summer w/o att. l G. H. Fischer w/o att. ! T. C. Nichols, Jr. w/o att. C. A.

Dilution flow is assumed to be a naximirm of 150 gpm, which is the capability of one primary water ir.akeup pump to deliver unborated p, (' ) water to the PCS, A mininum RCS water volume of 5000 ft3 is used. This is a conser-vative estimate of the active RCS volume with one reactor coolant 23 s , pump operating.
