SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 86 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-30 UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY CAllAWAY PLANT. UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-483

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application for license amendment dated August 1,1991, Union Electric Company (the licensee), requested changes to Technical Specifications (TS) for the Callaway Plant, Unit 1.

The proposed changes would revise various TS to reflect editorial and typographical changes for consistency and clarity. The changes include trip setpoint corrections, description clarifications, reference updates, and title deletions.

2.0 EVALUATION The licensee has made a number of proposed changes to various sections of the Technical Specifications. The changes will be discussed separately.

Sections 3.3.3.6.b and 3.3.3.6.c currently references containment radiation level " monitor", in the singular form.

The change to

" monitors", in the plural form, corrects the. typographical error in the TS.

Table 3.3.4, item 8.a currently reflects incorrect values for an engineered safety features actuation system instrumentation trip setpoint as stated in NRC letter dated November 1, 1984.

The change is a minor editorial revision consistent with the Facility Operating License No. NPF-30.

i i

Table 3.3-10, items 15,16, and 18 currently do not specify the particular accident monitoring instrumentation referenced. The editorial revision describes item 15 as the Containment Normal Sump Water Level in lieu of Containment Water Level, and items 16'and 18 by instrument-identification numbers.

Section 3.6.4.1 currently is less restrictive regarding operability of the containment hydrogen analyzers. The change is consistent with TS 3.3.3.6 regarding applicable modes and the limiting condition for i

operaticn action statement.

Section 4.11.2.5 currently reflects an incorrect reference to Table 3.3-13 regarding the Waste Gas Holdup System. The change removes the reference to Table 3.3-13 which was initially requested by a previous 9401050285 931221 PDR ADOCK 05000493 P
