{3) signed. originals and forty {40) conformed copies of a request, to amend Appendix A of Facility Operating Licenses,DPR-31 and DPR-41.

As requested by your staff, we have revised the Turkey Point Technical Specifications to conform as near as is practical to the Standard Technical Specifications without making any hardware changes.

The current proposal supersedes our proposal of January 30, 1975.

The proposed changes are as described below and as shown on the accompanying Technical Specification pages bearing the date of this letter in the lower right hand corner.

Pages ii and iii Table of Contents headings are rev'sed to reflect the following changes.

\\

Pa es 3.4-4 throu h 3.4-6 Specification 3.4.3.b is revised.

This specification concerns the limiting conditions for operation applicable to the 'Emergency Containment Filtering System during power operation.

HELPING BUILD FLORIDA

0 i'

I

Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Page Two May 3, 1976 Pa e 3.12-1 New specification 3.12 is added.

This specification concerns the limiting conditions for operation applicable to the Control Room Ventilation System and the Post Accident Contain-ment Vent System.

Pa es 4.7-1 throu h 4.7-3 The surveillance requirements of specifications 4.7.1 (Emergency Containment Filtering System) and 4.7.2 '('Post Accident Containment Vent System) are revised.

A new specification 4.7-3 (Control Room Ventilation System) is

.added.

A new section B3.12-1 is added to provide bases for new

. specification 3.12.

Pa e B4.7-1 The bases for specification 4.7 are revised to include mention of the Control Room Ventilation System.

The proposed amendment has been'reviewed and the conclusion reached that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration, therefore, prenoticing pursuant to 10 CFR 2.105 should not be required.

Very truly yours, Robert E.

Cold DOP and halogenated hydrocarbon tests shall be'onducted on the HEPA filter and charcoal adsorbers respectively.

Removal of >99%

DOP and

>99% halogenated hydrocarbon removal shall constitute

acceptable performance.

charcoal surveillance specimen fiom one of the charcoal adsorbers shall be removed and analyzed annually for methyl iodide removal capability.

B 3.12 BASES FOR LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION, AIR TREATHENT SYSTEHS The Control Room Ventilation (Emergency Internal Cleanup)

System is designed to partially filter the Control Room atmosphere for recirculation during Control Room isolation conditions. If the system is inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the Control Room and reactor operation may

'U continue for a limited time while repairs are being made.

If the system cannot be repaired within seven days, both reactors are shutdown in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36(c).

The Post Accident Containment Vent System is designed to facilitate controlled venting of either containment 'through HEPA and charcoal filters to waste gas tanks and to the.atmosphere following a loss of

~

r coolant accident.

If the system is inoperable, there is no significant threat caused by continued reactor operation because the system would only be used seven to ten days after an accident.

Reactor operation may, therefore, continue for up to thirty days while repairs are being e

made.

If the system cannot be repaired in that time, both re'actors are shutdown in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36(c).

B 4.7 BASES FOR EMERGENCY CONTAINMENT FILTERING SYSTEM, POST ACCIDENT CONTAINMENT VENT SYSTEM, CONTROL ROOM VENTILATION SYSTEM.

System components are not subject to rapid deterioration, having lifetimes of many years, even under continous flow conditions'isual inspection and operating tests provide assurance of system reliability and will insure early detection of conditions which could cause the system to fail or operate properly.

The performance tests prove conclusively that filters have been properly installed, that no deterioration or damage has occurred, and that'a3;1 components and subsystems operate properly.

The tests provide assurance that filter performance has not deteriorated below original specification values due to aging, contami-nation, or other effects.
