Subject:

Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Docket No. 50/395 Technical Specifications

Dear Mr. Denton:

The range of specific gravity for the diesel generator fuel oil at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station is 0.83 to 0,89 0 60/60*F. The corresponding API gravity @ 60*F is 27 to 39 degrees. This information is provided for the enclosed clarifications to Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1. 2.C.

'If you have any questions, please let me know.

Very truly yours, O. W.

h ENCLOSURE STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3/4.8 ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS Clarifications to Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.c c.

At least once per 92 days and from new fuel prior to addition to the storage tanks, by obtaining a sample of fuel oil in accordance with ASTM-D270-1975, and by verifying that the sample meets the following minimum requirements and is tested within the specified time limits:

1.

As soon as sample is taken ( or prior to adding new fuel to the storage tank) verify in accordance with the tests specified in ASTM-D975-77 that the sample has:

'a) A water and sediment content of less than or equal to 0.05 volume percent.

b)

A kinematic viscosity 0 40"C of greater than or equal to 1.9 centistokes, but less than or equal to 4.1 centistokes. __

c) A specific gravity as specified by the manufacturer 0 60/60 F of greater than or equal to 6.83 but less than or equal to O.79 or an API gravity 0 60 F of greater than or equal to 27 degrees but less than or equal to 39 degrees.

2.

Within one week after obtaining the sample, verify an impurity level of less than 2 mg of insolubles per 100 ml. When tested in accordance with ASTM-D2274-70.

3.

Within two weeks of obtaining the sample verify that the other properties specified in Table 1 of ASTM-D975-77 and Regulatory Guide 1.137 Position 2.a are met when tested in accordance with ASTM-D975-77.
