UNITED NUCLEAR REGULATORY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 27, 2011 Mr. Michael J. Pacilio President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60SSS THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 -CORRECTION LETTER REGARDING AMENDMENT NO. 273 RE: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES TO REFLECT CONTROL ROD DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADE (TAC NO. MD9762)

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

On May 27,2010, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) issued Amendment No. 273 1 to Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1), Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-SO, in response to your application dated September 29, 2008.2 Amendment No. 273 consisted of changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) including changes to pages 4-3 and 4-S. On January 12, 2011, the Commission issued Amendment No. 274 3 to TMI-1, Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-SO, in response to your application dated March 24, 2010.4 Amendment No. 274 also included changes to TS pages 4-3 and 4-S. Amendment No. 273 was effective as of May 27,2010, and was to be implemented prior to exceeding cold shutdown following the fall 2011 (T1R19) refueling outage. Amendment No. 274 was issued on January 12, 2011, to be implemented within 120 days. Because Amendment No. 274 was planned for implementation prior to Amendment No. 273, TS pages 4-3 and 4-S, issued with Amendment No. 274, did not reflect the changes that were made in Amendment No. 273. By letter dated March 4, 2011, 5 TS pages 4-3 and 4-S reflecting the changes made by both Amendment Nos. 273 and 274 were provided to you so that the TS will be in the proper configuration upon implementation of Amendment No. 273. Subsequently, it was identified that there was an error on TS page 4-S that was enclosed with the March 4, 2011, letter. Specifically, the value listed in the "Calibrate" column for item 24, "Control Rod Relative Position," was left blank, where it should have been uNA." I have enclosed a corrected TS page 4-S for your implementation.
