WNP-2, OPERATING LICENSE NPF-21 AMENDED LETTER THERMO-LAG 330-1 FIRE BARRIERS REQUEST FOR CHANGE TO CONFIRMATORY ORDER

References:

1) Letter, dated March 25, 1998, C Poslusny (NRC) to 1V Parrish (SS),

"Confirmatory Order Modifying License"

2) Letter, dated December 28, 1998, JV Parrish (SS) to NRC, "Request for Change to Confirmatory order - Thermo-Lag 330-1 Fire Barriers",

'I The purpose of this letter is to request a change to the confirmatory order which modified the WNP-2 operating license to reflect the schedule for implementing Thermo-Lag 330-1 fire barrier corrective actions. This letter supersedes our letter dated December 28, 1998 (Reference 2), which contained an error in the accompanying affidavit. The subject line of the affidavit was incorrect.

We are requesting that the confirmatory order be changed to reflect that final implementation of Thermo-Lag 330-1 fire barrier corrective actions at WNP-2 will be completed during Fall 1999 instead of Spring 1999. The reason for the request is due to the planned transition to a 24-month fuel cycle during 1999.

The order had confirmed a commitment to complete implementation of Thermo-Lag 330-1 fire barrier corrective actions on a schedule commensurate with previous Supply System correspondence docketed in response to Generic Letter 92-08, "Thermo-Lag 330-1 Fire Barriers."

Specifically, by Reference 1, the WNP-2 operating license was modified to state that final implementation of The'rmo-Lag fire barrier corrective actions would be completed during the R-14 Maintenance and Refueling Outage (Spring 1999). Reference 1 also indicated that overall work package close-out would be completed by December 1999. The Spring 1999 date was based upon a previously-established, 12-month refueling outage schedule.

AMENDED LETTER THERMO-LAG330-1 FIRE BARRIERS REQUEST FOR CHANGE TO CONFIRMATORY ORDER Page 2 of 2 In the order, the NRC stated that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, may relax or rescind, in writing, any provisions of the confirmatory order upon a showing by the licensee of good cause.

Although current plans are to complete the overall project as originally scheduled, we are in the process of transitioning to a 24-month fuel cycle. This required rescheduling of the R-14 Maintenance and Refueling Outage from Spring 1999 to Fall 1999. The last remaining outage related Thermo-Lag modifications willbe implemented during the R-14 outage, but in the fall time-frame. This will have no impact on the final completion schedule because the overall Thermo-Lag resolution effort will be completed by December 1999 as required by the order.

Therefore, we are proposing that the Confirmatory Order Modifying License NPF-21 be revised to read as follows:

"WPPSS shall complete final implementation of Thermo-Lag 330-1 fire barrier corrective actions at Washington Public Power Supply System, Nuclear Project No. 2, described in the WPPSS submittals to the NRC dated April 13, 1993, February 11, 1994, November 9, 1994, April 27, 1995, September 26, 1997, and February 4, 1999 during the R-14 Maintenance and Refueling Outage (Fall 1999). Overall work package close-out will be completed by December 1999."

We appreciate your assistance in this matter. Should you have any questions or desire additional information pertaining to this letter, please call PJ Inserra at (509) 377-4147.
