SUBJECT:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 Proposed Change to the Technical Specifications Regarding Updated SRV Performance Requirements and Miscellaneous Changes (JPTS-89-017)

Dear Sir:

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications proposes new Safety / Relief Valve (SRV) performance 1:mits to take credit for the currently installed SRV capacity. Other changes, unassociated with SRV

' performance, clarify selected portions of the Technical Specifications and correct minor typographical and editorial errors.

New SRV Performance Requirements i

Three changes to tho existing SRV performance limits are proposed. The first permits continued plant operation with two SRVs out of service. (Currently, only one SRV out of s'

service is permlulb's for thirty days.) These changes also reduce the number of automatic depressurization system (ADS) valves required to be operable to five.

Secondly, the setpoints for all eleven SRVs are changed to a single nominal setpoint.

The third change increases the maximum permissible setpoint tolerance from one percent to three percent.

A detailed analysis of these changes has been performed for the Authority by the General Electric Company. The results of these analyses are summarized in a report entitled " Updated SRV Performance Requirements for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear 4 Power Plant" (NEDC 31697P). Since this report contains proprietary information, copies l will be transmitted under a separate cover.

The Authority plans to implement the revised SRV performance requirements during the 1990 refueling outage currently scheduled to start in March. Since recalibrating, testing and installing the SRVs requires several weeks, approval by February 15,1990 is requested to support this planned outage.

Five Specifications related to SRV performance are revised in this proposed amendment: Umiting Safety System Setting 2.2.1.B,

  • and associated Bases, (pages 27 and 29); Specifications 3.5.D and 4.5.0,
  • and associated Bases, (pages 119,120, and 128); and l Specification 3.6.E and 4.6.E,

Miscellaneous Changes Miscellaneous changes to seven Specifications clarify terminology, correct typographical errors, remove a surveillance requirement which should have been deleted as part of Amendment 130, and delete a duplicate specification.

Specifications 1.2.1 (" Reactor Coolant System" on page 27), Table 4.2 2 (* Minimum i Test and Calibration Frequency for Core and Containment Cooling Systems" on page 80), Specification 3.5.D (" Automatic Depressurizction System" on page 120),

Spocification 4.6.E (" Safety Relief Valves

  • on page 143), and Bases Sections 1.2 (on -

page 29) 3.6.E (on page 152) are updated by this proposed amendment.

Enclosed for filing is the signed original of a document entitled

  • Application for Amendment to Operating Ucense," with Attachments I and ll thereto, comprising a statomont of the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications and the associated Safety Evaluation.

l In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this application and the associated attachments are being provided to the designated New York Stato offbla!.

Should you or your etaff have any questions regarding the proposed changes, please contact S. M. Toth of my staff.

Very truly yours, s
