Subject:

Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50 413 and 50-414 Technical Specification Amendment Generic Letter 90-09 Attached is a proposed amendment to the Technical Specifications for the Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-35 and NPF 52 for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The request involves changing the schedule for snubber visual inspections. This submi "! is in accordance with the guidance provided in the NRC's Generic Letter dated December 11. 1990. Revisions to the wording of the Generic 14tter 90-09 proposed Technical Specifications were made to maintain consistency with the current Catawba Technical Specificatiori definition of snubber categorization and disposition of visual failures. These revisions were discussed with the NRC Staff prior to this submittal. The revised wording is consistent with the wording found in the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant GL 90-09 submittal which was approved by the NRC on March 19, 1991.

The attachments contain the proposed changes (Attachment 1) and a discussion of the justification and No Significant Hazards Analysis (Attachment 2). The analysis is included pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 and it has been concluded that the proposed amendment does not involve significant hazards consideration.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 (b) 1, the appropriate South Carolina State Official is being provided a copy of this amendment request.

Upon approval of this amendment, the current snubber visual inspection schedules will be recalculated by taking the number of inoperable snubbers found in the previous inspection and applying the new surveillance criteria, implementation of ' hit amendment will result in a significant reduction in both radiological exposure to plant personnel and allocation of plant resources. Therefore, it is requested that this amendment be approved by May 14, 1991. Approval by this date will allow Duke
