Subject:
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Docket No. 50-219 Technical Specification Change Request 'io.
181 Revision 1 1
Pursuant to 10CFR50.90, GPU Nuclear Corporation, operator of the 3
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS),. Provisional Operating License No. DPR-16, requests a change to Appendix A of that license.
The attached Technical. Specification Change Request proposes to eliminate'seven'(7) maintsteam safety valves with the two highest set
' points.:.This request replaces the-original license amendment request dated December 18, 1989'in its entirety. The original design for
' Oyster Creek: Reactor Vessel was ASME Section I'1962 edition which was interpreted'to require that,the safety valve capacity be such that l
all potentially generated steam by the boiler (reactor vessel) be t
discharged without credit for fuel stoppage. The ASME Section I deals specifically with power boilers and not. nuclear reactors.
4 13 ---=
Recent. codes and standards (ASHE Section I and III). recognize operating controls or safety controls for the protected system _upon-4"o which the: required' relief capacity is predicted.
In addition, NUREG
,,oEN$z 0800, " Standard' Review Plan" Section 5.2.2.II.Atallows credit for iy@A reactor: scram for safety valve sizing.
Thus,'the scram feature with quo no credit'taken for recirculation pump trip can be utilized in sizing
'd$
relief. capacity.-
- oM c-o.
Based'on the above,.GPUN proposes'that the high flux scram be used'
\\$O for, determining the safety valve capacity, with-the result being a
{QG
' reduction in the number of safety valves. This~ reduction will o
significantly, reduce radiation' exposure, probability of failures,
[8$
leakage and maintenance costs.-
