ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS RE: PROPOSED CHANGE NUMBER NPF-10/15-583, REPLACEMENT STEAM GENERATORS (TAC NOS. MD9160 AND MD9161)

Dear Mr. Ridenoure:

By letter dated June 27, 2008, Southern California Edison (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 2 and 3 (SONGS 2 and 3). The proposed changes are in support of the replacement of the steam generators (SGs) at SONGS 2 and 3 and reflect revised SG inspection and repair criteria and revised peak containment post-accident pressure resulting from installation of the replacement SGs.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (301) 415-1480.

Sincerely,

/RA/
