Reference:

J. F. Opeka letter to J. R. Miller, dated May 28, 1985, transmitting Proposed Revisions to the Technical Specifications, Fire Protection.

Gentlemen:

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 2 Additional Information on Proposed Revision to Penetration Fire Barriers Technical Specification Pursuant to discussions with the NRC Staff on September 13, 1985, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) hereby amends its previous request to revise Technical Specification 3/4.7.10, Penetration Fire Barriers, for Millstone Unit No. 2. The attached change to Technical Specification 3/4.7.10 supersedes NNECO's previous request transmitted with the referenced letter. The previous determinations discussed in the referenced letter with respect to 10 CFR 50.59 and 50.92 are still applicable. The details of the changes to Technical Specification 3/4.7.10 are provided below.

NNECO previously proposed to revise Technical Specification 3/4.7.10 to reflect the need to protect redundant safe shutdown systems and equipment as required by Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. In addition, NNECO now proposes to retain the present requirement to protect safety-related systems and equipment in order to be consistent with the guidance provided in Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1. The limiting condition for operation and surveillance requirements have been revised to be consistent with the wording of the Standard Technical Specifications. The previous proposal to implement a fire watch patrol on a frequency of every eight hours on either side of an inoperable barrier is revised to a frequency of one hour consistent with the Standard Technical Specifications. The previous proposal to provide the NRC a special report if a barrier is not permanently repaired within thirty days has been deleted. Instead, a continuous fire watch or hourly fire watch patrol will be implemented until the temporary or inoperable barrier is permanently repaired.

The proposed change to Technical Specification 6.9.2, Special Reports, is also no longer needed consistent with the previous discussion.
