Southern California Edison Company P. 0. BOX 800 2244 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE ROSEMEAD. CALIFORNIA 91770 K. P. BASKIN TELEPHONE MANAGER, NUCLEAR ENGINEERING (213) 572-1401 AND LICENSING April 18, 1980 Mr. H. R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Docket No. 50-206 Heatup and Cooldown Curves San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1 Technical Specification 4.9, "Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program," for San Onofre Unit 1 requires that reactor pressure vessel material surveillance capsules be removed and the specimens analyzed to monitor the effects of neutron exposure on the vessel materials in the core region. Accordingly, Capsule F was removed in December, 1978 after approximately 10 calendar years (approximately 8 EFPY)) of station operation. The Westinghouse report entitled "Analysis of Capsule F from the Southern Cali fornia Edison Company, San Onofre Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillance Program, May 1979, WCAP-9520", presents the results of the examination of Capsule F, twenty copies of which accompany this letter. The enclosed report is submitted for your information as required by Technical Specification 6.9.3.b.

The analysis presented in the enclosed report has resulted in a need to update the heatup and cool down curves of Figures 3.1.3a and 3.1.3b as specified in Technical Specification 3.1.3, "Combined Heatup, Cool down and Pressure Limitations".

In addition, due to changes in the methods used and additional data obtained, Figure 3.1.3d and Table 3.1.3.1 have been modified.

There fore.the entire Technical Specification 3.1.3 has been updated as required by Technical Specification 3.1.3B and

\\

Technical Specification 4.9.

The updated Technical Speci fication is included for your information as Enclosure 1, twenty copies of which also accompany this letter. The changes in wording of Technical Specification 3.1.3 were 0, u required to make it consistent with the new figures and the table.

Mr. H.

April 18, 1980 As discussed with Mr. A. Burger of your staff by telephone on April 14, 1980 we will provide a Proposed Change to the Technical Specifications for San Onofre Unit 1, to require that in the future, updates to the Heatup and Cooldown Curves will be submitted for review and ap proval by the NRC as an amendment to the operating license.

We will use the Standard Technical Specifications for guidance in preparing the new Technical Specification.

It is expected that the Proposed Change to the Technical Specifications will be submitted by December 31, 1980 which provides sufficient time for implementation since the next surveillance capsule is not scheduled to be removed until after 14 EFPY.

If you require any additional information please contact me.

Very truly yours, Enclosures
