SUBJECT:

EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 - CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NO. 223 RE: MULTIPLE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES (CAC NOS. MF5026 AND MF5027)

Dear Ms. Gayheart:

On September 29, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 223 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16231A041) to Renewed Facility Operating License NPF-5 for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Unit No. 2. The amendment consisted of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) by adopting 18 previously NRG-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) travelers, two TSTF T-travelers, and one feature of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications not associated with a traveler.

The NRC staff has confirmed that Amendment No. 223 for HNP, Unit No. 2 contained a typographical error on TS page 3.8-12 in Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.1.9.b states "kdding" instead of "shedding."

The NRC staff found that the markup of page TS 3.8-12 correctly had "shedding" in SR 3.8.1.9.b in the licensee's letter dated May 4, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16116A201 ), and determined that the error was inadvertently introduced and were not the subject of the amendment or the associated notice to the public. Therefore, consistent with NRC staff guidance dated January 16, 1997 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103260096), based on the NRC's policy established by SECY-96-238, these errors can be corrected by a letter to the licensee from the NRC staff.

Enclosed please find the corrected HNP, Unit No. 2 TS page 3.8-12. This correction does not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with Amendment No. 223.

C. Gayheart If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-3100 or John.Lamb@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, amb, Senior Project Manager icensing Branch 11-1 n of Operating Reactor Licensing of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No.: 50-366
