SUBJECT:

FORT CALHOUN STATION NO. 1 - CORRECTION TO AMENDMENT NO. 215 (TAC NO. MB5839)

Dear Mr. Ridenoure:

On January 16, 2003, the Commission issued Amendment No. 215 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS). The amendment requested changes to the technical specifications (TS) in response to your application dated October 8, 2002. The amendment revised Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.4, TS 5.19, and added TS 5.20 [Technical Specification (TS) Bases Control Program] and SR 3.0.5 to extend the delay period before entering a Limiting Condition for Operation following a missed surveillance. The delay period is extended from the current limit of "... up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />..." to

"...up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified surveillance interval, whichever is greater."

In addition, SR 3.0.5 was modified to include the following statement: "A risk evaluation shall be performed for any Surveillance delayed greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and the risk impact shall be managed."

Page 5-17 of the TSs omitted a reference to SR 3.0.5. This reference was included in your October 8, 2002, request and was addressed on page 12 of the NRCs safety evaluation.

Enclosed is the corrected page. Please replace this page in your copy of the TS. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,

/RA/

5.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 5.19 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program (Continued)

The maximum allowable primary containment leakage rate, La, at Pa, shall be 0.1% of containment air weight per day.

Leakage Rate acceptance criteria are:

a.

Containment leakage rate acceptance criterion is  1.0 La. During unit startup following testing in accordance with this program, the leakage rate acceptance criteria are  0.60 La Maximum Pathway Leakage Rate (MXPLR) for Type B and C tests and  0.75 La for Type A tests.

b.

Personnel Air Lock testing acceptance criteria are:

(1)

Overall Personnel Air Lock leakage is  0.1 La when tested at  Pa.

(2)

For each PAL door, seal leakage rate is  0.01 La when pressurized to

 5.0 psig.

c.

Containment Purge Valve (PCV-742A/B/C/D) testing acceptance criterion is:

For each Containment Purge Valve, leakage rate is < 18.000 SCCM when tested at  Pa.

d.

If at any time when containment integrity is required and the total Type B and C measured leakage rate exceeds 0.60 La Minimum Pathway Leakage Rate (MNLPR), repairs shall be initiated immediately. If repairs and retesting fail to demonstrate conformance to this acceptance criteria within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, then containment shall be declared inoperable.

The provisions of Specification 3.0.1 do not apply to the test frequencies specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

The provisions of Specifications 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 are applicable to the Containment l

Leakage Rate Testing Program.

5.20 Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Program l

This program provides a means for processing changes to the Bases of these l
