Dear Mr. Case*:

On September. 21, _1,973, the Commission approved station modifi-cations to mitigate the consequences* of certain postulated high energy line ruptures.* Since that time; _the modified systems have been in-stalled and successfully operated. *Furthermore, during this period of time, these systems have. beeri operated and tested by procedures commensurate with those *of other safety systems.

It is for this reason that your staff may want to consider a formal upgrading of administrative control in the form of te.chriical specif.ications.

There-fore, enclosed are the proposed specif.ication changes and the basis for these changes.

A de.scripti.on and drawing of the modified systems is also enclosed.

The proposed specif.ications for. the RWST. cross-connect will require the operability of the cross-connect line whenever a reactor is critical.

In addition,. the amount of. borated water in the Unit 2 Refueling Water Storage Tank will be.come a limiting condition for operation for Unit 1* and vice_:versa.

The. *proposed specifications for the auxiliary.feedwater cross-connect and associated tanks and pumps will require operability. before increasing above. 3S0°F and 450 psig.

  • In addition, _the amount of water in the Unit 2 condensate storage tank will become a 1*imiting. condition for operation for Unit 1 and vice-versa.

Thes*e changes. have been reviewed by both Station and System Nuclear Safety and Operating Committees.

Further.,. _it has been.deter-mined that thes*e changes do not involve: an unreviewed safety question as-defined in 10 CFR. 50.*.59.
