c BEFORE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION i
In-the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-277 PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY 50-278 APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT OF FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-44 & DPR-56 Philadelphia Electric Company, Licensee under Facility Operating Licenses DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, hereby requests that the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A of the Operating Licenses be amended by revising certain sections as indicated by a-vertical-bar in the margin of attached pages 42, 73, 74, 83, 92, 100, and 112.
Correspondence from Mr. D. G..Eisenhut, Director, i
Division of Licensing, NRC, to All Boiling Water Reactors, dated
' July 7,-'1980, requested each Licensee to submit a license tmendment. application incorporating surveillance requirements for j
-the Scram Discharge. Volume (SDV) vent and drain valves and 1
I l
1
- Limiting Ccndition for Operation / surveillance requirements for Reactor Protection System and control rod block SDV limit switches.
The licensee proposes an amendment that is consistent with the Model Technical. Specifications submitted with Mr.
j Eisenhut's letter, except where changes were necessary to reflect j
the design of the Peach Bottom scram discharge volume controls.
Operability and surveillance requirements for the scram trip 5
bypass control rod withdrawal block was not proposed for f
incorporation into this license amendment application since sufficient supervisory instrumentation is available for j-monitoring the status of the scram bypass feature.
The
)
supervisory instrumentation includes a " Scram Discharge Volume j
High Water Level Scram Bypassed" annunciator in the control room.
The Licensee proposes revisions to pages 100 and 112 of 1
the Technical Specifications that incorporate SDV. drain and vent
- valve surveillance requirements.
These changes. conform with the.
Model Technical Specification guidelines except where necessary to reflect the following~ features of the Peach Bottom design: (1) l operability.of the control rods is not dependent on the 4
- operability of the SDV drain and vent valves, and (2) individual control. rod scram testing does not actuate the SDV drain and vent i
valves.
Only a full reactor scram actuates these valves.
A testing procedure that verifies operability of these valves and does not involve scram testing, will be performed quarterly.
The Peach Bottom Technical Specifications, pages 38 and 39 currently specify operability requirements for the Reactor Protection System SDV high level trip that parallel the Model 1
Tcchnical Specification requirem;nts.
Tho Liccnsas proponcs rcvisions to the Reactor Protection System SDV high level trip
. surveillance requirements (page 42) that_ conform with the Model g
Technical Specifications.
j The Licensee proposes revisions to the Technical Specifications (pages 73, 74, 83 and S2) that incorporate operability and surveillance requirements for the Control Rod Withdrawal Block SDV high level trip that are consistent with the Model Technical Specifications.
The Licensee proposes that the reference to a specific MCPR limit (1.07) on page.92 (Unit 3) be replaced with "the fuel cladding integrity. safety limit" to bring this page into conformity with page 92 (Unit 2).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22, " Schedule of Fees for Facility License Amendments", Philadelphia Electric Company proposes that this Application for Amendment be considered a Class III Amendment for Unit 2, and a Class I Amendment for Unit I
3,~since the proposed changes have acceptability for the issue clearly identified by an NRC position, and are deemed not to involve a significant hazards consideration.
The Plant Operation Review Committee and the Operation cnd Safety Review Committee have reviewed these proposed changes to the Technical Specifications, and have concluded that they do i
not involve an unreviewed safety question or a significant hczards consideration, and will not endanger the health and safety of the public.
Respectfully submitted,
