8. Neutron monitoring operability requirements are specified by Table 3.1-1 and Paragraph 3.3.B.4.
9. A minimum of 3 IRM or 2 APRM channels respectively must be operable (or tripped) in each safety system.
10. Each Safety Relief Valve is equipped with two primary acoustical detectors (of which one is in service). A thermocouple detector serves as a secondary indicator.
11. From and after the date that none of the acoustical detectors is operable but the thermocouple is operable, continued operation is permissible until the next outage in which a primary containment entry is made. Both acoustical detectors shall be made operable prior to restart.
12. In the event that both primary and secondary indications of this parameter for any one valve are disabled and neither indication can be restored in forty-eight (48) hours, an orderly shutdown shall be initiated and the reactor shall be in a flot Shutdown condition in twelve (12) hours and in a Cold Shutdown within the next twenty-four (24) hours.
13. From and after the date that the minimum number of operable instrument channels is one less than the minimum number specified for each parameter, continued operation is permissable during the succeeding 7 days unless the minimum number specified is made operabic sooner.

Any deviations will be justified to the NRC prior to an individual's filling of one of these positions.

6.4 RETRAINING AND REPLACEMENT TRAINING A training program shall be maintained under the direction of the Training Coordinator to assure overall proficiency of the plant staff organization. It shall consist of both retraining and replacement training and shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Section 5.5 of ANSI NI8. 1-1971.

The retraining program shall not exceed periods two years in length with a curriculum designed to meet or exceed the requalification requirements of 10 CFR 55, Appendix A. In addition fire brigade training shall meet or exceed the require-ments of NFPA 27-1975, except for Fire Brigade training sessions which shall be held at least quarterly.

Section I - Description of Modification The James A. FitzPatrick Operating License is being amended by adding license conditions related to a System Integrity Measurements Program and Improved Iodine Measurements capability. Technical Specification Sections 3.2 (Table 3.2-6) and 4.2 (Table 4.2-6) are i being changed to incorporate limiting conditions for operation and surveillance requirements for the Safety Relief Valve position indicators. Technical Specification Section 6.2 and 6.3 (including Figure 6.2-1) were revised to reflect the addition of a Shift Techaical Advisor to the plant staff. These changes were requested by the NRC staff in a letter dated July 2, 1980. Figure 6.2-1 has also been corrected to more accurately reflect the Reactor Analyst's position i.e., much greater involvement with operations personnel than with Technical Services personnel.

Section II - Purpose of Modification The purpose of this modification is to incorporate the items requirements into the*,

of the NUREG-0578 TMI-2 Lessons Learned Category "A" James A. FitzPatrick Operating License and Technical Specifications as requested in the NRC letter of July 2, 1980.

Section III - Impact of the Change These modifications will not alter the conclusions reached in the FSAR and SER acc.ident analysis.

Section IV - Implementation of the Modification The modifications as proposed will not impact the ALARA or Fire Protection Program at JAF.

Section V - Conclusion The incorporation of there modifications: a) will not increase the probability nor the consequences of an accident or mal-function of equipment important to safety as previously evalu-ated in the Safety Analysis Report; b) will nut increase the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different typeand than any evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report; c) will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification, and d) does not constitute an unreviewed safety question.
