1989. (FPL letter L-89-329), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted a request to amend' Appendix A of Facility Operating Licenses. DPR-31 and DPR-41 to replace the current technical. specifications with revised technical specifications based on the Standard Technical Apocifications for Westinghouse 1

Pressurized Water Reactors.

The proposed revised technical specifications submitted were the result of extensive FPL and NRC staf f ' review and comment following FPL's initial submittals in 1

September and November of 1986.

Attachment IV of the June 5, 1989 submittal identified a~ number of open licensing issues that were addressed by the Technical Specification Upgrade Project and that could be closed as a result of-the June 5, 1989 submittal.

The ~ attachment to this letter provides additional information regarding.certain of those open issues to aid in their closeout.

The following information supplemente that provided in Attachment IV of FPL letter L-89-201 dated June 5,1989 with respect to items -

2, 4, 5, and 6 of that attachment:

2.-

Generic Letter 87-09, " Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) on -the Applicability of l

Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements," dated June 4,1987 provided guidance addressing

.three specific problems that have been encountered with the general requirements of Sections 3.0 and

4. 0 of the STS, 1

These problems related to (1) unnecessary restrictions on mode

changes, (2) unnecessary shutdown caused by inadvertent i

L surpassing of surveillance intervals, and (3) conflicts between specifications 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 related to mode changes.

The NRC staff had concluded that the modifications proposed in. this generic letter, would result in improved technical' specifications (TS) for all plants.

Licensees were encouraged to propose changes to their TS that are consistent i

with the guidance in the generic letter; however, the changes u

were voluntary for all licensees. FPL submitted _ proposed TS I

consistent with the guidance of Generic Letter 87-9 in FPL letter L-88-389 dated September _27, 1988.

FPL. letter L 201' dated June-5, 1989 stated that the proposed changes had been incorporated into the revised technical specifications, and that the September 27, 1988 submittal need not be reviewed as a separate item.

Specific changes in response to Generic Letter 87-09, are included in TS 3.0/4.0 of FPL's June 5,1989 submittal (pages 3/4 0-1 through 3/4 0-4) and the corresponding Bases.

4.

Generic Letter'84-15, " Proposed Staff Actions to Improve and Maintain Diesel Generator Reliability", dated July 2,

1984, n

K requested that licensee 1) describe their current programs to o

avoid cold fast-starts or their intended action to reduce the number of cold fast start surveillance tests from ambient conditions for diesel generators, 2)' report the reliability of each diesel generator at their plant for its last 20 and 100

demands, and 3) describe their diesel generator reliability program, if any, for attaining and maintaining a reliability goal.

Generic Intter 84-15 encouraged licensees to submit changes to their technical specifications to accomplish a reduction in the number of cold fast starts.

Licensees were also requested-to comment on and/or compara i

their existing program or. any proposed program with the-example-performance specificatLon included with the generic letters.

Additional guidance was provided in the technical specifications issued-by the NRC to Virginia Power's North Anna Power Station in April 1985.

FPL responded to the three L.

items concerning improving and maintaining-diesel generator reliability in FPL letter L-84-316 dated November 6,- 1984.

Proposed TS. changes to address the - Generic Letter 84-15 concerns are included in TS 3.8.1.1 and 4.8.1.1 of FPL's June i

5, 198D submittal _ (pages 3/4 8-1 through '/4 8-7) and the corresponding Bases.

i 5.

The. background for the containment purge-and vent valve L

technical specifications is described in detail in FPL letter L-88-478 dated-November 2,

1988, in FPL's comments on Specification 3/4.6.1.7.-

The specification commented on in that letter was further revised after subsequent review and comment by.the FPL and the NRC staff.

As a result of this review, the 1986 submittal which proposed a 200 hour0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> limit on purging was modified to provide restrictions on the reason for which purging may,be used in lieu of a limit on purging time.

The specific changes to resolve the containment purge and vent valve technical specification issue are included in TS 3.6.1.7

. and 4.6.1.7 of FPL's: June - 5, 1989 submittal (page 3/4 6-11).

6.

Item 4.3 of Generic Letter 83-28, " Required Actions Based on Generic Implications of Salem ATWS Events,a established the requirement for the automatic actuation of the shunt trip attachment for Westinghouse Plants.

Generic Letter 85-09,

" Technical Specifications-for Generic. Letter 83-28,-Item 4.3," dated May 23, 1985, requested that licensees submit

-proposed technical specification changes to explicitly require independent testing of the undervoltage and shunt trip attachments during power operation'and independent testing of the control room manual switch contacts during each refueling outage.

Specific changes in response to the Generic Letter 85-09 requirements are included in TS 3.3.1 and 4.3.1 (Tables 3.3-1 and 4.3-1) of FPL's June 5, 1989 submittal (pages 3/4 3-1 through 3/4 3-12).
