. l ATTACHMENT 1 BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION l On March 22, 1985,.the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ist .4 l Amendment 42 and 23 to Facility Operating License NPF-9 and in F -  !

17 for McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 respectively. l This amendment changed the Technical Specifications to reflect the transition to the use of optimized fuel assemblies. In Table 3.3-2 of this amendment, the Response Time for the Steam Generator Water Level--Low-Low reactor trip was changed from 5 2 seconds to 5 2.0 (Unit 1), 3.5 (Unit 2) seconds. (See Attachment 4) j On May 15, 1985, The NRC issued Amendment 43 to Facility Operating License NPF-9 and 24 to Facility Operating License NPF-17 to change the Technical Specifications to reflect the  !

second of several stages involved in the continuing transition  ;

to the use of optimized fuel assemblies. This amendment changed  ;

the Response Time for the Steam Generator Water Level--Low-Low '

reactor trip to 1 3.5 seconds. (See Attachment-4) ,

The time response remained 5 3.5 seconds until November 27, 1991, when the NRC issued Amendment 128/110 which revised the .

Technical Specifications to reflect the loading of B & W-fuel .

into McGuire Unit I for Cycle 8 and various other changes. In (

this amendment, the only change to Table 3.3-2 requested and i discussed in the SER was the deletion of thu Power Range Neutron l Flux Negative Rate Trip. (See Attachment 4) The deletion of {

t this trip required the renumbering of the remaining trips in Table 3. 3-2. When Table 3.3-2 was received, page 2 of the table [

had been renumbered, but the time response for the Steam l Generator Water Level--Low-Low reactor trip had been changed to l 5 2.0 (Unit 1), 3.5 (Unit 2) seconds which was the same as in i Amendment 42/23. This change had not been requested and was not discovered during the review of Amendment 128/110 by Duke Power Company.

i i

On March 6, 1992, the NRC issued Amendment 130/112 which changed <

l the Technical Specifications to reflect the reload of McGuire l Unit 2 Cycle 8 with B & W fuel. This change was administrative I in nature and made the McGuire Unit 2 Technical Specifications  !

identical to the Unit 1 Technical Specifications approved by Amendment 128/110. The above referenced error was included in this amendment and was not detected during the review of the amendment.

Based on the preceding discussion, Duke Power requests that the time response for Steam Generator Water Level--Low-Low in Technical Specification Table 3.3-2 be changed to 5 3.5 seconds.

The proposed change to the Technical Specification is given in Attachment 2. Since this change is only returning Technical Specification Table 3.3-2 to the previously approved condition, this change should be considered administrative in nature.
