! 148, 149, and 160; and the deletion of page 140e.

The current Technical Specifications (section 3.6.F.2) for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 do not permit reactor operation beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with one recirculation loop out of service. The capability of operating for extended i

• periods with a single recirculation loop is highly desirable from a plant availability / outage planning standpoint, in the event maintenance of a recirculation pump or other component renders one loop inoperative.

The changes requested herein would permit single loop operation beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided specified adjustments are implemented for the APRM rod block and scram setpoints, RBM setpoint, MCPR fuel cladding integrity safety limit, .MCPR operating limits, and MAPLHGR limits. A safety analysis of the proposed single loop operation is set forth in a document i

entitled " Peach Bottom Atomic Poder Station Units 2 and 3 Single Loop Operation, " General Electric NEDO-24229-), May, 1980, which is filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.

Since the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications involve a single safety issue, and does not involve a significant hazards consideration, pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22, Philadelphia Electric Company, for fee purposes, proposes that the Application for Amendment be considered a Class III Amendment for Unit 2 and a Class I Amendment for Unit 3.

I l

v

} The Plant Operation Review Committee and the Operation and Safety Review Committee have reviewed these proposed changes to the Technical Specifications, and have concluded that they do not involve an unreviewed safety question or a significant hazard consideration; and will not endanger the health and safety of the i

public.
