400 Chestnut Street Tower II June 20, 1980 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention:
Mr. A Schwencer, Chief Light Water Reactors Branch No. 2 Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissison Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Schwencer:

Letter from L. M. Mills to H. R. Denton dated May 28, 1980, (TVA-SNP-TS-3) 2.
Letter from L. M. Mills to A. Schwencer dated May 24, 1980 3.
Letter from J. P. O'Reilly to H. G. Parris dated April 29, 1980 A change to the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant unit 1 technical specifications is requested to permit plant heatup with inoperable hanger RCH-il8. This hanger is located on the pressurizer relief line and is required to be operable by technical spe.ification 3.4.10, " Reactor Coolant System Structural Integrity." We are requesting that action statement "a" be modified to permit plant heatup with RCH-il8 inoperable.
This change is similar to those submitted by TVA letter TVA-SNP-TS-3 (reference 1).
As required by NRC-01E Region II (reference 3), all hanger deficiencies will be resolved before initial criticality. Therefore, the requested change is applicable only during the period preceeding initial criticality.
Before initial criticality, no fission product inventory exists. The decay heat load is negligible. Therefore, plant heatup with RCH-il8 inoperable poses no additional risk to the health and safety of the public.
Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
