2. ULNRC-2244 dated 7-9-90
3. OL Amendment No. 57 and NRC SER dated 9-20-90 Amendment Number 57 to the Callaway Facility Operating License No. NPF-30.approvad Technical Specification changes to allow-the replacen.ent of the resistance temperature detector CRTD) bypass system with an RTD/thermowell system mounted dLrectly into the hot and cold legs of the reactor i

coolant system (RCS).

Reference 1 submitted the original amendment application.

Reference'2 supplemented the setpoint calculations.of Reference 1=with an; updated RCS flow measure-ment uncertainty calculation.

Reference :2 - also committed to_ compare = post-modification calorimetric. data =against-the most recent pre-modification calorimetric dataito assess the effects-of RTD bypass elimination on T-Hot at callaway.

The requested-information'is attached.. With regard,to

the other1 commitments discussed in the Reference 3 SER,-

-both the. active and' spare = elements of the new dual element-Weed-RTDs were-response time tested.using the. Loof current Step Response'(LCSR) methodology after the RTDswere u

L installed and ono newly calibrated'RTD will be installed at Refuel 6-(in the-fall'of 1993), and alternating refuelings thereafter, to ensure that RTD drift remains random in nature (i.e., not-.in the same direction).

If you have any questions on-the-attachment, please 7

contact-us.

Very truly-yours,

discussTRTD Bypass Elimination, slides-were presented.

depicting the effect on-T-Hot _of:the RTD' Bypass Elimination at Salem' Units 1 andJ2..The change in.T-Hot was--0.12*F.and

+0.'48'F ifor' Units if and ~ 2, respectively. 'The former.was.

. stated byfPSE&G and ABB/CE to be well within.the accuracy of the data. The latter was stated by PSE&G and ABB/CE to.be

-within_the accuracy of the calorimetric. Similar conclusions

can be drawn for Callaway as were drawn for Salem Unit 2..
