May 25,1979 Docket No. 50-409 Mr. Frank Linder General Manager Dairyland Power Cooperative 2615 East Avenue South La Crosse, Wisconsin 54601
Dear Mr. Linder:
The Cocinission has issued the enclosed Amendment No.16 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-45 for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR). The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your application dated February 26, 1979, as supplemented by letters dated May 9 and 23, 1979.
The amendment modifies the Technical Specifications for operation of the LACBWR in fuel Cycle 6 by (1) adding core power distribution limits for Allis-Chalmers Type I fuel assemblies, and (2) changing the limits for off-gas emission rates to account for cleanup of tramp activity during operation.
Based on our review of the May 2,1979 transient event at Oyster Creek we determined that additional Technical Specification limitations were needed for non-jet pump BWRs to reduce the likelihood of uncovering the reactor core during certain plant conditions. These additional Technical Specifications consist of extended restrictions on reactor vessel water level and operability of forced circulation loops. This amendment includes such Technical Speci-fication changes for LACBWR. These changes were discussed with and agreed to by your representatives on May 23, 1979.
Copies of our Safety Evaluation and the Notice of Issuance are also enclosed.
Sincerely,
,% Y Dennis L. Ziemann, Chief Operating Reactors Brunch #2 Division of Operating Reactors
