Dear Sir:
7 This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power i
Plant Technical Specifications proposes to extend the surveillance test intervals for the containment systems to support 24 month operating cycles. The proposed changes
~
follow the guidance of Generic Letter (GL) 91-04 (Reference 1). Approval of these changes will eliminate the need to execute mid-cycle outages to conduct these surveillance tests.
Once per operating cycle containment cystem surveillance tests were evaluated to confirm that the surveillance frequencies could be extended to support a 24 month operating cycle. The evaluation (Reference 2) included a detailed study of containment isystems surveillance history. Surveillance test data was analyzed for components affected by the extended operating cycle. The evaluation concluded that allidentified-a containrr.ont system surveillance tests can be safety extended to accommodate a 24
- month. operating cycle.
Extended surveillance intervals are identified in the proposed Technical
- Specifientions as being' performed."once per 24 months." This terminology is
- consistent with the guidance provided in GL 91-04.
