O 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 50-321 GEORGIA POWER COMPANY, ET AL.
NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 77 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-57, issued to Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia, and City of Dalton, Georgia, which revised Technical Specifications for operation of the Edwin I.
Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit No.1 (the facility) located in Appling County, Georgia.
This amendment was authorized by phone on July 2,1980.
It revises the Technical Specifications for the High Pres ure Coolant In,jection (HPCI) System to permit continued operation wita an inoperable HPCI for up to 14 days. The amendn.ent also adds a Limiting Condition for Operation to cover the situation where the demonstration of operability of the HPCI cannot be performed due to low reactor steam oressure. These changes conform the Hatch 1 specifications with current licensing practices.
The urgency associated with this action was (1) to permit the licensee to conduct a diagnostic and repair program as directed by the Commission's Office of Inspection and Enforcement, and (2) the current specifications-1 for Hatch 1 were defective since they did not cover the situation of startup without a demonstration of operability of the HPCI system.
