NOTIFICATION OF WINOR STRUCTURAL ENHANCEMENTS TO SPENT FUEL-RACKS HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354 Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), in our letter,

- dated October _11, 1989, proposed a change to the Hope Creek

' Generating Station'(HCGS) Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.3. that increased spent fuel storage' capacity to the full storage capacity of-4006 assemblies as described in FSAR Section 9.1.2.2.2. That change has now been issued as Amendment 38 to the HCGS Facility Operating License.

-Our request stated that the additional spent fuel storage racks-to be added would be' identical to those originally installed.- Our purchase specifications to the rack manufacturer reflected that statement. However, during the design and fabrication of the new racks, the manufacturer suggested several state-of-the-art enhancements in fabrication and welding techniques that resulted in tighter dimensional control and. improved seismic and structural stability over that of the original rack design while ensuring that the analyses for criticality, seismic, structural, and thermal / hydraulic considerations would remain bounded by the assumptions and calculations used.in'the FSAR.

AL10CFR 50.59 Safety Evaluation has been performed, reviewed and.

approved by the Station Operations Review committee (SORC) that finds the minor changes incorporated do not involve an unreviewed safety question.
