SUBJECT:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 Proposed Change to the Technical Specifications Clarification of ADS Operability Reouirements (JPTS-92-025)

REFERENCES:

1. NYPA letter, R.E. Beedle to NRC, dated January 9,1992, )

(JPN-92-002), " Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Reactor Vessel Hydrostatic Testing."

2. NRC letter, B.C. McCabe to R.E. Beedle, dated March 9,1992, issuing Amendment 179 to the Technical Specifications.

Dear Sir:

This application for an Amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications clarifies Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.5.D.4. Amendment 179 (References 1 and 2) added LCO 3.5.D.4 to permit hydrostatic and leakage testing at temperatures up to 300*F without requiring certain equipment, including  !

the automatic depressurization system (ADS), to be operable. However, LCO i 3.5.D.4 was interpreted to require the ADS be operable at temperatures less than 212*F. Requiring the ADS to be operable during hydrostatic and leakage testing l with temperatures below 212*F was clearly not the intent of Amendment 179. The proposed change will clarify LCO 3.5.D.4 to resolve this concern.

The signed original of the Application for Amendment to Operating License is enclosed for filing. The proposed change to the Technical Specifications is Attachment I to this Application for Amendment to the Operating License. The Safety Evaluation for the proposed change is included as Attachment 11. A markup i

of the affected Technical Specification pages is included as Attachment Ill.

A copy of this application and the associated attachments are being provided to the dggd t{ew York State officialin accordance with 10 CFR 50.91.
