Dear Hr.'yram:

SUBJECT:
LICENSING TOPICAL REPORT FOR POWER UPRATE WITH INCREASED CORE
- FLOW, REVISION 0, SUSQUEHANNA STEAN ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1
AND 2 (PLA-.3788)
(TAC NOS.
H83426 AND H83427)
Your letter of June 15, 1992, submitted "Licensing Topical Report NE-092-001, Revision 0, for Power Uprate With Increased Core Flow," for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES),
Units 1 and 2.
The report was submitted to support future proposed amendments to the Units 1 and 2 licenses to permit a
4.5-percent increase in reactor thermal power and an 8-percent increase in core flow for each unit.
Your initial submittal was revised and supplemented by letters of July 24, September 17, and December 18,
- 1992, and January 8,
January 25, April 2, August 5, August 12, and September 29, 1993.
As discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation, we have concluded that the revised (Revision 2) licensing topical report adequately supports your proposed power uprate.
We have also concluded that
- SSES, Units 1 and 2, can operate safely with the proposed 8-percent increase in core flow, the proposed 4.5-percent increase in reactor thermal power, the corresponding 5-percent increase in main turbine inlet steam flow, and the corresponding increases in flows, temperatures, pressures, and capacities required in supporting systems and components at these uprated conditions.
However, authorization for any increase in reactor thermal power will be based on our review of the technical specifications you will submit when you submit the amendment application.
