SUBJECT:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 License No. DPR-59 Revision to Application for Technical Specifications (TS) Change Based on TSTF-477, Add Action Statement for Two Inoperable Control Room Air Conditioning Subsystems, Using the Consolidated Line Item ImDrovement Process (CLIIP)

Reference:

Entergy Letter to USNRC (JAFP-07-0091), Application for Technical Specifications (TS) Change Based on TSTF-477, Add Action Statement for Two Inoperable Control Room Air Conditioning Subsystems, Using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (CLIIP), dated July 25, 2007

Dear Sir or Madam:

On July 25, 2007, Entergy submitted an application for amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAF) based on NRC approved Industry/Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF)-477, Revision 3 (Reference). That submittal included, in part, the addition of a TS Action statement to the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) for TS 3.7.4, Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System. The new Action statement allows a finite time to restore one control room AC subsystem to operable status (72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />) when both subsystems are inoperable and requires verification that control room temperature remains < 104 OF every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The referenced submittal stated that the licensing basis control room air temperature for JAF is 104 OF.

Based on telephone conversations with members of the NRC staff, JAF determined that the 104 OF temperature does not meet the intent of TSTF-477. As a result, Entergy is revising its application such that the new Action statement will require verification that control room temperature remains < 90 OF every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. The revised temperature of 90 OF is consistent with and meets the intent of the Notice of Availability published in the FederalRegister on March 26, 2007 (72 FR 14143).

Attachment 1 provides replacement TS pages (both marked-up (Insert 1) and re-typed pages) to show the appropriate revision to the temperature.

ý661

This change does not affect the no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) determination provided in the original application. The revised temperature of 90 OF is consistent with and meets the intent of the Notice of Availability published in the Federal Register.

A copy of this revised application, with Attachment 1, is being provided to the designated New York State Official.

There are no new commitments made in this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Jim Costedio, Regulatory Compliance Manager at 315-349-6358.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
