Attachment:

Changes to the Technical Specifications Drte of Issuance:

August 26, 1977

4-1 4.0 SPECIAL SURVEILLANCE, RESEARCH, OR STUDY ACTIVITIES 4.1 THERMAL PLUME DETERMINATION DURING UNIT 3 OPERATION Objective To establish the location and size of the, thermal plume during normai operation, under conditions of high and low tide and maximum and minimum intake temperature; to provide data to verify the mathematical and physical models so that good predictions of isotherm location under all conditions will be possible and to establish the operational monitoring system: to verify previous calculations which predict the size and location of the effluent thermal plume.

General Aoproach and Schedule Intensive field surveys shall be conducted twice during the first year of operation.

Specifically, the surveys will be done during the months of July or August when the maximum intake temperature is observed and during the months of December or January for contrast when the minimum intake temperature is observed.

The thermal field measurements shall be made in sufficient locations to cover the full extent of the thermal plume.

Salinity measurement may be required in order to effectively decouple the plume from ambient isotherms.

During the tests the behavior of the plume during both phases of the tidal cycle shall be tested.

The measurements should allow for construction of the isothermal maps with 1.0*F above ambient contour intervals.

These tests shall be carried out with all three units operating and site capacity at no less than 70%. During the surveys the following conditions shall be recorded as needed to assess the extent of the thermal plume and its correspondence to a computer run with parallel parameters: (a) plant conditions (condenser flows, intake temperature, discharge temperature, loading, etc.) of all three units, (b) hydrological conditions (tidal stage, salinity traverses, etc.), (c) meteorological conditions (wet and dry bulb temperatute, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, solar radiation, etc.).

The requirement of Specification 2.1.2 that the temperature of the condenser cooling water at the POD not exceed 103 F for a period of more than 3 consecutive hours shall not be applicable during

{

the three-day study period planned for August 1977. The require-I ment of Specification 2.1.2 that the discharge water temperature not exceed 1060F shall a, ply.

The field survey measurements shall be compared to the results of the predicted compnter runs.

Any modifications needed in either the physical nedel or the mathematical model will then be incorporated in the models.

The models will then be available to use in the evalua-tion of.any abnormal environmental occurrence or other modifications in plant sytten or equipment performance.
