t ATTACHENT 1 NRC DOCKET 50-366 i OPERATING LICENSE NPF-5 EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2 PROPOSED CHANGES TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS i Pursuant to 10 CFR 170.12 (c), Georgia Power Company has evaluated the

! attached proposed amendment to Operating License tPF-5 and has determined that:

a. The proposed amendment does not require the evaluation of a new Safety Analysis Report or rewrite of the facility license;
b. The proposed amendment does not contain several complex issues, does not involve ACRS review, and does not require an environmental impact statement;
c. The proposed amendment does not involve a complex issue, an environmental issue or more than one safety issue;
d. The proposed amendment does involve a single safety issue, namely, the changing of operating Power Distribution Limits for the reconfigured cycle 3 core including the new fuel type; e) The proposed change is therefore a Class II amendment.

3/4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section assure that the peak cladding

, temperature following the postulated design basis loss-of-coolant accident will not exceed the 22000 F limit specified in the Final Acceptance Criteria (FAC) issued in June 1971 considering the postulated effects of fuel pellet densification.

3/4.2.1 AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE This specification assures that the peak cladding temperature follow-ing the postulated design basis loss-of-coolant accident will not exceed the limit specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix K.

The peak gladding temperature (PCT) following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident is crimarily a function of the average heat generation rate of all the rods of a fuel assembly at any axial location and is dependent only secondarily on the rod-to-rod power distribution within an assembly. The peak clad temperature is calculated assuming an LHGR for the highest powered rod which is equal to or less than the design LHGR corrected for densification. This LHGR times 1.02 is used in the heatup code along with the exposure dependent steady state gap conductance and rod-to-rod local peaking factor. The Technical Specification APLHGR is this LHGR of the highest powered rod divided by its local peaking factor.

The limiting value for APLHGR is shown in Figures 3.2.1-1, 3.2.1-2, 3.2.1-3,

3. 2.1-4, a nd 3. 2.1-5.

The calculational procedure used to establish the APLHGR shown on Figures 3.2.1-1, 3.2.1-2, 3.2.1-3, 3.2.1-4, and 3.2.1-5, is based on a loss-of-coolant accident analysis. The analysis was performed msing General Electric (GE) calculational models which are consistent with the requirements of Appendix K to 10 CFR 50. A complete discussion of each code employed in the analysis is presented in Reference 1. Differences in this analysis compared to previous analyses performed with Refe,rence 1 are: (1) the analysis assumes a fuel : .onoly planar power consistent with 102% of the MAPLHGR shown in Figures 3.2.1-1, 3.2.1-2, 3.2.1-3, 3.2.1-4, and 3.2.1-5; (2) fission product decay is computed assuming an energy release rate of 200 MEV/ fission; (3) pool boiling is assumed after nucleate boiling is lost during the flow stagnation period; and (4) the effects of core spray entrainment and counter-current flow limitation as described in Reference 2, are included in the reflooding calculations.

A list of the significant plant input parameters to the loss-of-coolant accident analysis is presented in Bases Table B 3.2.1-1.
