Discussion This Technical Specification Change Request is submitted as a demonstra-tion of continued compliance with the requirements of 10CFR50.46.

This request returns the MAPLHGR limits of all fuel types (IIIF, V and VB) to those specified in Amendment No. 33 (1) and extends the limits for type V and VB fuel to 40 GWD/MTM.

The ECCS Evaluation Models used for the above changes are the same models used to calculate MAPLHCR limits of Amendment No. 33 (2).

The model application to Oyster Creek including the MAPLHGR limits calculation is presented in reference (3).

This request also. includes a set of MAPLHGR limits of all fuel types (IIIF, V and VB) for four recirculation pump operation.

The ECCS Evaluation Models used for fuel types V and VB are the same models used to calculate MAPLHGR limits for five pump operation (2) and the MAPLHGR limits for fuel type IIIF are those of the current technical specification.

LOCA analyses for the four pump operation are presented in reference 5.

Due to the unavailability of critical replacement parts, one recirculation pump was removed from service and the plant operation continued under more restrictive limits adapted (6, 7) and specified in the Amendment No.

35 (8), and modified by Amendnent No. 39 (9).

In our letters of April 30, 1979 (6) and May 24, 1979 (7), we stated that the Oyster Creek Station would continue to operate within the more restrictive limits until such time that the analyses were completed to justify operation at higher limits, or a fifth recirculation pump was restored to service.

This proposed technical specification will enable Oyster Creek to operate with five or four recirculation pumps in service.

This request also returns the MAPLHGR multiplier to the technical speci-fications as approved by Amendment No. 33 (1).

The MAPLHGR multiplier is made applicable to all fuel types for five and four loop operation, even though MAPLHGR limits of fuel type IIIF f or four loop operation were not based on ENC NJP-BWR ECCS-EM (2).

This is an additional conservetism imposed on fuel type IIIF for four loop operation.

Assembly Averaged Power Void Relationship (AAPVR) is made applicable to fuel type IIIF for four loop operation only.

MAPLHGR limits of fuel types IIIF, V and VB for five loop operation and fuel types V and VB for four loop operation are based on ENC NJP-BWR ECCS-EM (2).

This model does not require input from a blowdown analysis of the plant by GE ECCS-EH (5).

Therefore, AAPVR is no longer applicable to fuel types IIIF, V and VB for five loop operation and fuel types V and VB for four loop operation.

This request further deletes references to fuel types I, II, IIIE for peaking f actors in Section 2.1.A.1, local LHGR in Section 3.10.B. and pellet-clad thermal conductance and power spike penalty in the Section 3.10.B basis._ These fuel assemblies are no longer in the core and are not ex-pected to be reinserted.

Therefore, these references are no longer applicable.

Discussion (continued)

The delav time of isolation condenser initiation from reactor low low water level was changed from 10 to 3 seconds by Amendment No. 39(9). The event times are reported in references 2 and 4 for five and four loop, respectively.

LOCA analyses indicate a 10 second delay. Calculatiors have not been performed that specifically vary isolation condenser delay time; however, several calculations have been performed in which isolation condenser capability was varied. They include. calculations with:

(1) no isolation condenser, (2) one isolation condenser operating, (3) both isolation condenser operating. Results of the above calculations are reported in reference 2.

In all cases where isolation condenser capability s

was modeled, the PCT was decreased, because of a slight increase in the rate of system depressuri:ation; therefore the effect of only an additional 7 seconds of isolation condenser injection is expected to be small.
