BEFORE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-277 PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY 50-278 APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT OF FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-44,& DPR-56 Philadelphia Electric Company, Licensee under Facility Operating Licenses DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, hereby reauests that the Technical Specifications incorporated in Appendix A of the Operating Licenses be amended to reflect modifications required to meet the criteria of Appendix A of NUREG 0661, " Mark I Containment Long Term Program" by revising certain sections as indicated by a vertical bar in the margin of the attached pages 77, 78, 86, and 190.
l The proposed amendment revises the operability and surveillance requirements on pages 77, 78 and 86 to reflect a
t planned modification to the' suppression pool temperature monitoring system.
The modification will replace the existing temperature-monitoring system with redundant suppression pool' monitoring systems that meet the criteria of NUREG 0661.
Each new monitoring system will consist of thirteen (13) resistance i
temperature detectors mounted-in thermowells installed in the torus-shell.below the minimum water level required by the Technical Specifications, a processor / indicator / printer lo._ted in the control room, and a recorder located in the control room.
j Annunciation will be provided for-high temperature and signal 4
failure.
The equipment will satisfy the Category I design recommendations of' Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2,
[
" Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to
~i=
Access Plant and Environs Conditions During and Following an Accident."
The amendment proposes a testing frequency of once per day and once per operating cycle for the instrument check and sensor calibration,.respectively.
The proposed-testing frequency i
is consistent with the guidance provided in-the " Standard
. Technical Specifications for General Electric Boiling. Water 4
[
Reactors", NUREG-0123, Revision.3, page 3-74. ' Malfunction detection circuits provide additional assurance that. accurate temperature _information is presented to the operator.
The detection circuit continuously monitors the individual
' temperature inputs.for out of range or' intermittent signals,
- provides for annunication and, upon operator action, removal of a I
i
~
.2
failed-signal.
Further,-due to the proximity of redundant
. sensors to each other, the instrument check will provide early indication of any drift in calibration associated with an
. individual sensor.
Additionally, the proposed amendment-revises the pressure and temperature limits on page 165 to conform with the i-l NRC criteria identified in NUREG-0661, " Safety Evaluation Report, Mark I. Containment Long-Term Program".
The proposed i
specification would require an external visual examination of the suppression chamber whenever-the local pool temperature exceeds 200 F coincident with relief valve operation.
The new limits reflect the completed modification _of the Safety Relief Valve discharge to incorporate the T-quencher design on both Peach Bottom. Unit 2 and Unit 3.
Further, the proposed amendment deletes obsolete I
specifications and footnotes on page 86 for Peach Bottom Unit No.
i 3 since the modifications authorized by Amendment No. 67 are 4
complete.
Several changes are proposed in section 3.7.A.l.c
-(page 165a) in the interest of clarification.
i Pursuant to 10 CFR Section-170.22 " Schedule of Fees for
' Facility License Amendments", Philadelphia-Electric Company t
f proposes that:this_ Application for Amendment be considered a l
~
~ Class-III Amendment for Unit'2'and a Class I Amendment for Unit 3, since_the proposed changes do not involve a significant 2 hazards consideration.
