This telegra:n is to confirm the telecon between Lee Spessard (Region I-NRC),

and J.J. Colitz-(Unit il Superintendent) at 1400. hours.15 August 1975.

Violation of the Envirer.nental Technical Specification 2.1.a.(1) in that the Plant River k!ater l'ischargw temperature exceeded the limit of 30F below-inlet temper sture on Ngust 3,1975. ~

Review of control room recorder < harts indicated that on August 3,1975 during the time period of 2325 to 2355 the river offluent temperature was as-much as S.SoF. less than the river water ' inlet temperature.

The river water ambient tsoperature was aporoximately 910F at the time and the operator was maintaining the AT at approximately -20F to operate within the -30F AT limit. When the operator shifted fans a sudden fncrease in cooling capacity preeptly reduced the AT to -5.50F. The operator responded by shifting the fans back to the original configuration to restore the AT to within limits .in 30 minutes. .

The applicable procedures will be reviewed to deternrine if additional guidance is required tc- prevent recccurrence in the future.

Very truly yours, J.J. Colit Unit il Superintendtnt JJC/d.m ,-
