Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2
LICENSE AMENDMENT CHANGE REQUEST:
BORIC ACID STORAGE SYSTEM BORON CONCENTRATION REDUCTION This letter and its attachments constitute an application for amendment to the Cook Nuclear Plant unit 1 and 2 facility operating licenses.
This amendment change request supercedes our previous request regarding this topic, which was provided in our letter AEP:NRC:1232E, dated April 28, 1998.
Per discussion with the NRC staff, this request is now being submitted in the form of a license amendment.
Additionally, we have modified the implementation date requested in our April 28, 1998, letter, from December 31, 1999, to December 31, 2000.
This change is necessary due to increased activities associated with our present extended outage.
The proposed'hange will change the implementation date to reduce the boric acid concentration in the boric acid storage system.
Attachment 1 to this letter contains a description of the proposed
- change, justification for the
- change, and analysis concerning significant hazards consideration pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92.
Attachment 2 contains the existing license amendment pages marked to reflect proposed changes.
Because of outage related activities, the required system modifications will not be completed by August 31, 1998.
Therefore, it will not be possible to implement the T/S amendments by that date.
We request that the implementation date be extended to December 31, 2000.
Because of the proximity of the present implementation date, we ask that this license amendment receive an expedited review.
This proposed change to the facility operating license for each unit has been reviewed and approved by the plant nuclear safety review committee and will be reviewed by the nuclear safety and design review committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP:NRC:1232F DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT CHANGE AND 10 CFR 50.92 SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION ANALYSIS
Attachment 1 to AEP:NRC:1232F Page 1
DESCRIPTZON OF CHANGE ZN LICENSE AMENDMENTS BOTH UNITS This license amendment is effective as of the date of issuance, with full implementation when the required plant modifications are completed, but no later than December 31, 2000.
REASON FOR CHANGE Because of outage related activities, the required system modifications willnot be completed by August 31, 1998.
Therefore, it will not be possible to implement the technical specification (T/S) amendments by that date.
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGE The approved amendment request allows a reduction in required boric acid concentration, which, in effect, constitutes a relaxation of requirements.
During the period of the implementation, the existing approved T/Ss will be maintained.
10 CFR 50.92 SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION ANALYSIS Per 10 CFR 50.92, a proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration if the change does not:
~
involve a
significant increase in the probablity or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluted; or
~
involve a signific'ant reduction in a margin of safety.
CRITERION 1 Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated'P No.
Because the existing, approved T/Ss will be maintained, there is no resultant significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
CRITERION 2 Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No.
Because the existing, approved T/Ss, will be maintained, the possibility of a
new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated is not created.
CRITERION 3 Does the change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety'o.
The margin of safety requirements are not affected by maintaining the existing, approved T/Ss.
Attachment 1 to AEP:NRC:1232F Page 2
CONCLUSION It is concluded that operation of Cook Nuclear Plant units 1 and 2
with an implementation date of December 31,
- 2000, to reduce the boric acid concentration in the boric acid storage system,'s described
- herein, does not involve any significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92.
