Subject:

Geonee Nuclear Station Unit 3 Docket No. 50-287 4 vs

Dear Sir:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50, 550.90, please find attached proposed changes to the Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) Technical Specifications which are required to support the operation of Oconee Unit 3 at full rated power during Cycle 7.-

This proposal contains changes which concern the following:

1. Core Protection Safety Limits of Specification 2.1; [

2. Protective Fystem Maximum Aflowahle Setpoints of Specification 2.3;

3. Rod Position Limits of Specification 3.5.2.

Also at tached is DPC -RD-2001, Oconee Uni t 3, Cycle 7 Reload Report. This report includes a summary of Cycle 7 operating parameters and contairs the safety analyseu supporting the operation of Oconee 3 Cycle 7 core at rated power in accordance with the Terhnical Specifications provided.

Oconee Unit 3 was shut dovn to begin the refuelin; cycle after 349 EFPD which is 17 EFPD short of the Cycle 7 window as included in this report. A reanalysis is underway, but changes to this ~ubmittal are expected to be minor due to the minor difference in actual EFPD versus those assumed in this analy-sis. An amendment will be submitted by apprexinately July 31, 1982 containing the required changes. Your review of this submittal at this time is requested to ensure a timely respanse after the amendinent submittal as this refueling outage is currently in progress.

Startup testing of Oconee Unit 3, Cycle 7 will be performed in accordance with the report entitled, "Oconee Nuclear Station Generic Startup Physics Test Program", initially ap;iroved by NRC Ictter dated March 23, 1981 and as modifled by boke letter dated Mty 29, 1981.

Mr. Ilarold R. Denton, Director May 3,1982 Page 2 Oconee 3, Cycle 7 was conducted consistent with Duke Technical Report NFS-1001, "Oconee Nuclear Station Reload Design Methodology" which was reviewed and accepted by the Staff in a 1ctter dated July 29, 1981. As such, it is considered that this proposed revision to the Oconee Technical Specifications is a Class III licensing action. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 170, 5170.12, please find enclosed a check in the amount of $4000.
