t canal by active passage up the discharge canal, being washed from the traveling screens into the dilution pump discharge or by entrainment through the condenser or dilution pumps. Thermal shock studies of fin and shellfish conducted at tha OCGS indicat:3d that mortality may result to the key species when exposed to a AT of 12.8 C with time exposures greater than the canal passage duration. Because of the opera-tion of dilution pumps (see 2.1.4) the AT of 12.8 C occurs only in a very small volume of the western end of the discharge canal (8-10%).
A AT of 7 to 8*C is prevalent over the remaining volume of the canal.
Shock studies at the OCGS indicated that little mortality resulted to key species when exposed to such a AT from fall through spring except for bay anchovy and Northern pipefish which had 60 to 70% mortality during Spring. Field collections in the discharge canal documented s_, that thermal mortalities were not observed because of (1) relatively low probability of exposure to the AT of 12.8*C, (2) active avoidance of stressful temperature regimes and (3) the existence of lower stress AT exit pathways from the western end of the discharge canal.
Entrainment studies conducted under AT's described in the Specification indicate that relatively large numbers of bay anchovy and winter flounder ichthyoplankton are passed through OCGS. Based on limited observations entrainment mortality varies with species from 33 to 100%. The entrainment losses are not considered significant because 2-3 v

. Specification
- 1. When the temperature in Oyster Creek exceeds 30.6 C (87.0 F), as measured 1.2 m (4.0 ft) below the surface during mean tide at the U.S. Route 9 bridge over Oyster treek, one dilution pump shall be put into operation. If, after one dilution pump has been in opera-tion for at least two hours, and the temperature measured at such point continues to exceed 30.6*C (87.0*F), a second dilution pump shall be put into operation.

Route 9 bridge spanning the discharge canal shall be recorded and alarmed during Station operation. The discharge canal temperature shall be measured approximately 1.2 meters (4.0 ft) below the water surface at mean low tide.

In the event that the temperature monitoring system is inoperative during Station operation, discharge canal temperatures (at approxi-mately the same location and depth) shall be monitored (1) once every eight hours during power level changes of less than 25% or (2) once every four hours during power level changes of greater than 25% or puaping changes. This monitoring shall utilize local reading instrumentation and shall be performed until the temperature monitoring system is returned to service.
Bases The Final Environmental Statement of the OCGS identifies the above dilution pump operating procedure necessary for the protection of reduce to an Ns _- aquatic biota. These procedures have two purposes:
absolute minimum the amount of time that 30.6 C (87.0*F) is exceeded in the discharge canal and reduce the attraction of the discharge canal to overwintering of Atlantic me';naden.
Studies at 0 CGS indicate (1) the potential for fish avoidance of the discharge canal at temperatures above 30.6*C (87.0*F) and (2) the lack of substantial observed avoidance by some fishes (menhaden, spot and l
blue crab) up to 34.4*C (94.0*F). Operation of the dilution pumps in l
the above manner will assure tha minimum time period for potential fish avoidance of the discharge canal.

Studies of Atlantic estuaries indicate that young Atlantic menhaden's offshore movements are correlated with autumnal water temperatures of 15'C (59 F). Initiation of maximum dilution pumping ct 15.6*C (60.0 F) will assure the least delay in the migration. Continued operation of the two pumps during the winter will reduce the area of attraction and thereby minimize a build-up in the fish standing stock in the discharge canal.
2.1.5 Rate of Change of Discharge Canal Temperature During Winter Shutdowns Objective To minimize thermal stress to the aquatic environment due to sudden s s
changes in water temperature during winter shutdowns.
Specification In the event of a controlled reactor shutdown with intake canal water temperature below 10.0*C (50.0 F), the two operating dilution pumps
! shall be turned ,off when the first circulating pump is turned off or upon reaching 70% of full rated power, whichever comes first.
2-16 - '
Circulat.ng water pumps shall be removed from service when no longer y
required for either safe cooldown of the station or any other aspect of the Station's Technical Specifications,. This procedure does not apply to automatic or manual Station trips and is not applicable if shutdown deviations are required to protect the health and safety of the public.
Monitoring Requirement f
During shutdown the discharge canal bridge temperature shall be monitored continuously by temperature sensors located just upstream of the U.S. Route 9 bridge spanning the discharge canal. The discharge canal bridge l temperature shall be measured approximately 1.2 m (4.0 ft) below the v water surface at mean tide. Redundant sensors shall be employed. The l
range of this instrumentation shall be at least -6.7 to 18.9'C (20.0 to 120.0 F) and possess an overall system accuracy 1 55 C (1 1.0*F). This instrumentation shall be subjected to a channel check weekly and calibrated monthly.
In the event that the temperature senscrs are inoperative, the discharge l
canal bridge temperature at approximately the same location and depth shall be monitored once every hour until such time as the original sensors are returned to service or the Station has been in cold shutdown for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

m-Bases The Final Environmental. Statement for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station documents three cold shock fish kills associated with rapid temperature decreases caused by plant shutdown during the winters of i
, 1972 and 1974.
During the winter of 1975, the applicant conducted four shutdown surveys. Prior to planned OCGS shutdowns, surveys of the fishes in Oyster Creek were conducted.- Observers checked for distressed or moribund fishes during shutdown and after shutdown was completed.
Temperatures and times were recorded prior to and after shutdown.
The pump shutdown sequence described in the Specification was '-'s employed during these surveys and no significant fish mortalities were observed (IA, 1977(a)).
Fishes, particularly menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) have been shown to congregate in the Oyster Creek discharge canal when ambient temperatures drop below 8.5 C (47.3 F) (IA, 1977 (a)). When ambient temperatures are i
below 8.5'C(47.3 F), a rapid decrease in the water temperature has l resulted in fish kills when populations of menhaden are overwintering l ii. the thermal effluent. Therefore, when ambient bay temperatures drop below 10.0 C (50.0 F) imposition of a special snutdown procedure 1,
j to control the rate of temperature change of the discharge is warranted.

t Bases -
The Final Environmental Statement for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generat-ing Station documents cold shock fish kills associated with rapid temperature decreases caused by plant shutdown during the winter.
Station shutdown during winter months are, on occasion, unavoidable. Due to the physical configuration of the station and the discharge canal, some mortality to organisms will undoubtedly be experienced during winter shutdowns.
Mortality information associated with a winter shutdown, when combined with the results of the general ecological survey and impingement and entrainment, will provide the empirical bases on which to judge the ,,,
impact of OCGS operations on Barnegat Bay, Oyster Creek and Forked River.

- KITACilMENT 6 SAFETY EVALUATION _
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-219 REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE NO DPR-16 TECllNICAL SPECIFICATION CllANGE REQUEST NO. 84 Pursuant to 10CFR50.59, Jersey Central Power 6 Li yht Company has performed a s'afety evaluation of Technical Specification Change Request No. 84. This change request concerns only the Oyster Creek Environmental Technical Specifications (OCETS),
or Appendix B to the Provisional Operating License.
The evaluation concluded that there are no unreviewed safety questions associated with the proposed changes to the OCETS. The primary proposed change calls for the suspension of certain non-radiological biological programs and;in their stead, the implementation of certain new programs for a period of two years. The remainder of the proposed changes are editorial or administrative in nature. After careful review of each proposed change, it has been determined that as a result of tnese change:
a) the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report will not increase.
b) the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report will not be created.
c) the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification will not be reduced.
