TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST NO. 17 Replace pages 3/4 4-5, 3/4 4-33, 3/4 5-1, 3/4 5-6 and 6-17 with the attached revised pages 3/4 4-5, 3/4 4-Sa, 3/4 4-33, 3/4 5-1, 3/4 5-6 and 6-17.

Proposed Changes See the attached revised pages. Page 3/4 4-33 was previously subr.itted on July 13, 1979, as part of Technical Specification Change Request No. 47.

Reason for Proposed Change The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in their letter of November 11, 1977, requested Florida Power Corporation to submit additional information concerning the low temperature overpressure protection mitigating system (OMS) for Crystal River - Unit 3. As part of the response to that request, FPC proposed technical specification changes on January 23, 1978.

On June 20, 1979, the NRC contacted FPC and stated that the proposed Technical Specification Changes were inadequate and on June 25, 1979, FPC received a telecopy from the NRC which included certain items that the NRC would find acceptable in OMS technical specifications.

The enclosed proposed Technical Specification Change Request incorporates those items of the NRC telecopy that are applicable to the Crystal River - Unit 3 overpressure mitigating system.

Safety Analysis of Proposed Change The overpressure mitigating system at Crystal River - Unit 3 for postulated low temperature overpressure events during shutdown conditions consists of (1) a steam bubble and/or nitrogen blanket in the pressurizer which provides the control room operator sufficient time to terminate an event, and (2) the pressurizer electromatic relief valve which limits the reactor coolant pressure to within Appendix G limits. The two subsystems are separate and independent and together they provide single failure protection against overpressurization.

This Change Request incorporates those requirements needed to insure the operability of the overpressure mitigating system into the Crystal River - Unit 3 technical specifications.

This change does not involve an unreviewed safety question nor does it revise any of the assumptions used in the Safety Analyses. It does bring the technical specifications in line with the installed equipment at Crystal River - Unit 3.
