Subject:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50 333 Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Regarding LPCI Pump Flow (JPTS 90-005)

Reference:

1. NYPA Letter (JPN 90-013), J.C. Brons to NRC, dated February 9,1990, requesting changes to the RHR Pump Technical Specifications on an

'. exigent basis.

t- .

2. Amendment 153 to the James A. FitzPatrick Operating Ucense, dated  !

February 28,1990, temporarily extends the allowable out of service <

time for one LPCI and Containment Cooling subsystem from 7 days to

~

14 days and reduces the RHR pump flow rate allowable value from 9900 gpm to 8910 gpm.

Dear Sir:

In Reference 1, the Authority requested under exigera circumstances temporary changes a to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specificatba Amendment 153 (Reference 2)

\ approved these changes. .t One of these changet, reduced the surveillance test flow acceptance value for a Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pump from 9900 gpm to 8910 gpm. This application for a Technical Specification amendment makes this temporary change permanent.

The lower minimum RHR pump flow rate will eliminate problems inherent in testing the pumps near runout flow conditions. This will permit more accurate and repeatable Inservice  ;

l~ testing. This chango does not involve modifying any plant systems, structures, or components. Rather, credit is taken for the large margins contained in the 10 CFR 50, N Appendix K loss of coolant accident (LOCA) analyses.

Enclosed for filing is the signed original of a document entitled " Application for Amendment to Operating Ucense,' with Attachments I and 11 thereto, comprising a statement of the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications and the associated

. Safety Evaluation. .
