Dear Sir:

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications (TS) proposes changes to the Pressure-Temperature (P-T) limits.

In compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix H, a surveillance capsule was removed from the FitzPatrick reactor in November 1996 after 13.4 EFPY, and subsequently tested. The Authority forwarded the reactor vessel material surveillance program summary report and implementation schedule to the NRC (Reference 1). The Refetence 1 letter included a report from General Electric (Reference 2) documenting the surveillance capsule test results. Based on the test results, P-T curves were prepared, based on the new projected fluence levels, for both 24 EFPY and 32 EFPY. The P-T curves and associated <

Limiting Condition for Operation and Bases changes are included in this proposed amendment.

As part of this submittal, the Authority is proposing to add separate bottom head curves Aes and Bas for in-service hydrostatic and leak tests and non-nuclear heatup and cooldown, respectively. The GE Report (Reference 2) provides the basis for the new bottom head curves. In addition, a non-beltline curve (i.e., Aus) for in-service hydrostatic and leak tests is being added. GE has provided Errata and Addenda dated June 1999 which supplements the Reference 2 report. This Efrata and Addenda provides the basis for the non-beltline curve and is included in this submittal as Attachment IV. I o s ~ Ts i 9906290249 990622 / Ul 1; PDR ADOCK 05000333 P PDR [T L J
