- Dea*r Mr. Re l.d*:
On Aug_ust 29, 1975.in.our-letter (Serlal._No*. _*674) we,_requested..
a _relaxation _c;>f Surry.'s Technical Specification 4 *. 14.A.2*. this _particular spec I Heat I on places a 15°F 1 lmi't on,. the temperature.rise (&T) *between the.
- sta.tlon. high. level' Intake and the-dlsc.harge.control *structure outlet.
It Is the purpose of* this let-ter to wlth~raw that request.*.
. :_As* we exphHned.at-our.-ear.ller* ~etlngs wft'h.your.staff, we feel that we are Incorrectly penal'lzed, a*t certain times of the-~ay, by the 1-5°F tiT specification.
For* examplet1i whenever tt:ie* lnl_et temperature is* decreasing*.
_we are forced."to redu~e pow~r In:* order* to.ma lnta in tiT. 1 ess than* 15°F.
- It.
Is not entirely clear what causes.this ph*enomena;* probably It Is a combtna-tlon of sunlight heating and' tidal fluctuations.
- *On Friday, September 26, 1975; Surry 1 was* forced out of -service In order to repair. primary *system *l~akage *.
At that time; It was decided to advance-the planned.Unl-t 1 _refuel Ing _date.
During this outage we expect the* clrculj:itlng pump which. Is presently being overhauled to be. returned to.
service *. Full clrcuiatlng*water.flow capability will all.ow.station operation below the:*15~F (llT) l'ln',lt at all tJmes.
There'fore our request
. to.*relax* technical' specification 4."14.A.2 for several hours during each
.day will. not *be necessary.
It Is our Intention to propose a change to Technical-Specifications 4.14.A.1 and-4.14.A.2 :at a. later date-~
T~I~ prpposed change* would bring our specifications Into agreement ~lth our*Natlonal Pollutant Dlschc:irge El I ml nation
