SUBJECT:
License Amendment Request to Add a New Control Room Emergency Ventilation System Surveillance Requirement Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License Number DPR-51
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) hereby requests the following amendment to the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1). The proposed change will add a new Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.7.9.5 to provide an appropriate testing range for 2VSF-9, one of two Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) trains.
SR 3.7.9.4, which was added during the conversion of the ANO-1 Technical Specifications (TSs) to the improved standard format, included a testing range based on the design parameters of VSF-9, the redundant fan in the CREVS.
Due to design differences, the fans do not have the same makeup flow rate. The proposed change will designate that SR 3.7.9.4 is applicable to VSF-9.
A justification of the change is provided in Attachment 1 and a marked up page of the TS is included as Attachment 2. Entergy will also be revising the applicable TS Bases when this amendment is implemented; a mark-up of the revised Bases pages is included in Attachment 3 for information only.
The proposed change has been evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(a)(1) using criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c) and it has been determined that this change involves no significant hazards considerations. The bases for these determinations are included in Attachment 1.
The proposed change does not include any new commitments.
Entergy requests approval of the proposed amendment by December 11, 2003. Although this request is neither exigent nor emergency, your prompt review is requested. Once approved, the amendment shall be implemented within 30 days.
U. S. NRC 1CAN060302 Page 2 of 2 Amendment 215 to the ANO-1 TSs which incorporated SR 3.7.9.4, was implemented July 8, 2002. In accordance with License Condition 2.C.(5) included in Amendment 215, SR 3.7.9.4, which has a frequency of 18 months, is not required to be performed until January 8, 2004. The proposed new SR 3.7.9.5 will be considered by ANO as a new surveillance implemented at the same time and, therefore, will be required to be performed for the first time by January 8, 2004.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Dana Millar at 601-368-5445.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on June 30, 2003.
Sincerely, CGA/dm Attachments:
