Dear. Sir:

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPetrick lochnical Specifications proposes to increase the authorized maximum power level by

. approximately 4.1 percertto 2538 megawatts thermal (MWt) from the cutrent limit of 2438 MWt. The Authority outlined it's plans on this and other new picjects to the \\,

NRC staffin Reference 1.

NE E%a ,

)

The analyses and evaluations supporting these changes were completed using the guidelines in General Electric Topical Report NEDC-31897P A " Generic

! Guidelines for General Electric Boiling Water Reactor Power Uprate." Generic issues associated with power uprate were addressed for RtzPatrick in another General i Electric Topical Report NEDC 31964P ' Generic Evaluations of General Electric j Boiling Water Reactor Power Uprate." These reports, References 2 and 3, are

{ proprietary and have been submitted separately to the NRC by General Electric.

The signed original of the ApdW for Amendment to Operating Ucense is enclosed for filing. Attachments I and 11 to this application contain the proposed 4

changes to the Technical Specifications and the associated Safety Evaluation. The change request includes no requests for approval of plant operations using special features such as increased core flow or the Maximum Extended Operating Domain.

l The James A. FitzPatrick safety evaluation for power uprate, Reference 4, is in

Attachment lil, General Electric Report NEDC-32016P " Power Uprate Safety j Analysis for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant." This safety evaluation 1 complies with the guidelines of NEDC-31897P A and supplements the generic

! evaluations of NEDC-31984P. In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790, i those pages of NEDC-32016P containing proprietary information (labelled "GE

!~ Proprietary Information" at the top of each page) should be withheld from public

disclosure. Attachment IV is General Electric's affidavit attesting to the proprietary nature of this information.

i

{ Attachment V is NEDC-31317P 1, " SAFER /GESTR Loss-of-Coolant Accident

Safety Analysis Report" for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This

! report, Reference 5, summarizes loss of coolant accident analyses performed at this i new uprate power level. These analyses used the SAFEP/GESTR methodology and

previously licensed fuel desige.s as outlined in NEDC-31897P-A. In accordance with

the provisions of 10 CFR 2.790, those pages of NEDC 31317P-1 contain proprietary l Information and should be withheld from public disclosure. Attachment VI is General l Electric's affidavit attesting to the proprietary nature of the informaton contained in 3 NEDC-31317P-1.

i To assist the review, Attachment Vil contains a copy of the current technical specification pages that have been marked-up to clearly identify where the proposed

, changes are located.

i There may be revisions to the proposed change to Technical Specifications.

i Bounding calculations have been completed but supporting calculations are still 1 being prepared to address specific issues. The safety evaluation identifies most of j these. Additional reviews and changes to plant procedures and test programs are i

also underway. These and other activities that may cause revisions are being j trackedintamally.
