SUBJECT:
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 Proposed Change to the Technical Specifications Torus Vent Submergence Levels and Inspection Intervals (JPTS-90-014)
Dear Sir,
This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications proposes four changes associated with the FitzPatrick torus (or suppression chamber) Limiting Condition for Operations (LCOs),
Surveillance Requirements and associated Bases.
The first of these changes revises Technical Specification LCO 3.7.A to specify minimum and maximum torus water levels in terms of level above the bottom of the torus. The LCO currently specifies minimum and maximum water levels in terms of downcomer submergence. Because the torus water level instrumentation reads in feet of water level above torus bottom, the change will simplify compliance verification by eliminating the i
need to translate water level. The proposed change will not affect the actual water level limits.
i The second and third changes revise Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.7.A. The second change eliminates an unnecessary restriction on when periodic torus inspections can be performed. The SR currently requires periodic inspections "at each refueling outage." The proposed change will permit torus inspections during mid-cycle outages. The third change clarifies the current requirement that the " pool temperature be continually monitored and also observed and logged every five minutes until the heat addition is terminated." The proposed change will eliminate any implication that the operator s to continuously monitor the temperature.
The fourth change includes those revisions proposed to correct editorial errors and clarify terminology.
The signed original of the Application for Amendment to Operating License is enclosed for filing. Attachments I,11 and 111 to this application contain the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications, the associated 070071 0g 9307090029 930630 3
