l. Sections to be changed:

i, Sections 3.12 and 4.12

2. Extent of changes:

New specifications for additional fira protection systems installed per the Oyster Creek Fire Protection Program.

3. Changes requested:

, Replace Section 3.12 and 4.12 in their entirety with the attached revised Sections 3.12 and 4.12.

1

4. Discussion:

i The changes requested are proposed in order to

incorporate Technical Specification requirements on i additional fire protection systems that have been installed during the 1980 refueling outage. The

, proposed specifications include revisions to the existing Tables in Section 3.12 which have been modified to include system expansions which have i been implemented during the 1980 refueling outage.

Additionally, this change request includes those l items which were discussed between the NRC staff l and the licensee in several telcons concerning areas of deviation from the standard Technical Specifications.

3.12-6 Basis:

Fire protection systems and instrumentation provide for early detection and rapid extinguishment of fires in safety related areas thus minimizing fire damage. These specifications will assure that in the event of inoperable fire protection equipment, corrective action will be initiated in order to maintain fire protection capabilities during all modes of reactor operation.

The pumps in the fire water suppression system have a capacity of 2000 GPM each assuring an adequate supply of water to fire 7 suppression systems. Fire suppression water system operabili;y as defined in 3.12.B.1 applies only as pertains to specification 3.12 and is not applicable to other specifications.
