MAY1 1984 Docket No.:

Subject:
Proposed Change in Allowed Purge Time -
San Onofre Unit 2 By letter dated January 3, 1984, you requested that.the San Onofre 2 and 3 Technical Specifications be changed to allow the 8-inch purge system to be in operation up to 3000 hours0.0347 days <br />0.833 hours <br />0.00496 weeks <br />0.00114 months <br /> per year, rather than the previous value of 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> per year. In response to this request, on March 13, 1984 we issued Amendment 9 to the San Onofre 3 operating license. This amendment granted the requested change for a limited period of time, i.e., until the first core is replaced.
The change was necessitated by the greater than expected leakage of fission products from the Unit 3 fuel in the initial core loading.
This letter is to advise you that, contrary to your request of January 3,.1984, we do not plan to issue a similar amendment for San Onofre Unit 2. We are taking this position because such a change does not appear to be warranted by the Unit 2 fuel performance. If circumstances change in the future such that an increased purge limit is needed, you may at that time request such a change.
Sincerely, RIGINAL SIGNED By George W. Knighton, Chief Licensing Branch No. 3 Division of Licensing cc:
