REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT AND llOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-57 DOCKET NO. 50-354 Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) hereby transmits an application to amend Appendix A cf' Facility Operating License No. NPF fl for the llope Crook Generating Station (llCGS) in accordance with 10CFR50.90.
This request would revise Technical Specifications Section 3.8.1.1, A.C. Sources - Operating, Section 3.8.1.2, A.C. Sources - Shutdown, and their associated BASES' Section 3/4.8.1.
A description of the requested changes, supporting information and analyses for the changes, and the basis for a no significant hazards consideration determination are provided in Attachment 1.
The Technical specification pages affected by the proposed change are marked-up in Attachment 2.
Pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.91(b) (1), PSE&G'has provided a copy of this amendment request to the State of New' Jersey.
Upon NRC approval of this proposed change, PSE&G requests that the amendment be mado effective on the date of issuance, but implementable within 60 days to provide sufficient' time for associated administrative activities.

s PROPOSED CllANGES TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-57 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCK 1rI' NO. 50-354 Ref: IfR 93-24 I.
DESuurrrJi OP 11IE OIANGE As shown on the marked-up Technical Specifications (TS) pages in Attachment 2, PSE&G reqacsts that for:
+
TS 3.8.1.1.b.1 - the mininum level for each fuel oil day tank be increased to 360 gallons of fuel,
+
TS 3.8.1.2.b.1 - the mininum level for each fuel oil day tank be increased to 360 gallons of fucl,
+
TS BASES B3/4.8, Electrical Power Systems - a reference to Amendment 59 to the HOGS Facility Operating License (FDL), which authorized a charge to the surveillan requirements for demonstrating emergency diesel generator OPERABIIlTY be added.
II.
REASW FOR 71!E CIANGE These charges will make the above Technical Specifications agree with an NRC apptwed diange (Amendment 59) to the Hope Creek FDL. The currunt requirement in the 7S for minimum level in the Emergency Deisel Generator (EDG) Fuel Oil thy Tank is 200 gallons. This value is incorrect and non-conservative for supporting the NRC-approved EDG run time of 55-60 minutes. The correct value for the day tank levels is 360 gallons.
III. JWI'IFICATION FOR 71IE CIAN3E Prior to issuance of Amendment 59, the Hope Creek UFSAR irdicated that the EDG fuel oil storage system is sized in accordance with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.137, Revision 1, which, in turn, refers to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard N195-1976. This standard requires the Emergen:y Deisel Generator (EDG) Fuel Oil Iby Tank capacity to provide a 60 minute EIr, run time at 100% loading, and with a 10% margin in capacity, at the level whern fuel oil is autmatically added to the day tank.
During NRC Inspection 50-354/92-80, it was determined that the Hope Creek fuel oil storage system capacity and fuel oil makeup setpoints did not support the above UFSAR ocenitment and the TS EDG fuel oil day tank level requirement was unconservative at 200 gallons minimum. Subsequent PSE&G subnittals, requestirg and justifying a relaxation frun the 60 minute day tank capacity, resulted in Amendment 59 to the FDL authorizing a 55 minute EDG run time day tank capacity.
The 55 minute run time, with all appropriate conservatisms added, corrusgamla to an EDG day tank level of 358 gallons. Since the tank level is indicated in i
20 gallon incronents, 360 gallons _was selected as the minimum allowable fuel oil level in each day tank. Fuel oil makeup transfer pump setpoints have been adjusted to maintain the new minimum day tank levels equal to or greater than 360 gallons. The is need to be revised to specify 360 gallons mininum in each day tank.
. IV.
10CMtSO.92 SICNTFICANP IM7H6]S CCNSIIUMTICH ANALYSIS PSE&G has, pursuant to 10CFR50.92, reviewed the proposed amendment to determine whether our request involves a significant hazards consideration. We have determined that:
- 1. The cocration of the 11000 Crock Cmeratirn Staticn (IlOGS) in accordance with the orancocd chanrm will not involve a sionificant incroatie in the nrubability or conocentnoes of an accident nrevicusly evaluated.
The proposed amendment to the Technical Specifications will brity the minimum allowable EDG fuel oil day tank levels into agrecment with the levels correspondirq to EEG run times reviewed and approved by the NRC in Amendment 59 to the Ibpe Cruck Generating Station Facility Operating License.
Increasing the mininum level requirument is conservative arrl when cxmpared to the current level requirement, will act to reduce the consequences of any accident or malfunction of equipnent important to safety previously evaluated in the Updated Fiml Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). The proposed change will have no inpact on the probability of any accident.
- 2. The aneration of the Itoe Creek Generatim Station (fl0GS) in acIntdance with ibe vtuuxd chame vill not create the possibility of a new or different kind gflgpJsc)gnt frun any previously evalmted.
7he physical changes to the plant and to the manner in which the plant is operated in the proposed revisions ackl conservatism to the current requirements in the Technical Specification. No new or different kind of accident is created by the proposed change.
- 3. The operaticn of the 1100e Creek Gemratim Statico (11009) in accordance with ibe tuummed chame does not involve aminnificant reducticn in a arggin_gf safety.
'Ihe proposed revision, by maintaining a higher (more conservative) Emergemy Diesel Generator Day Tank level, will result in an increase in margins of safety.
Omclusjgn Based upon the forcgoing evaluation, we have determined that this proposed change dccs not involve a Significant Hazanis Consideration.
