BEFORE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-277 PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY 50-278 APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT OF FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-44 & DPR-56 Philadelphia Electric Company, Licensee under Facility Operating License DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit Nos. 2 a6d 3, respectively, hereby requests that the l
Technical Specifications incorporated in Appendix A of the Operating License he amended by revising certain sections as indicated by a vertical har in the margin of the attached pages 4, 67, 240m, 240n, and 262.
A discussion of each of the requested changes is set forth below.

1 i
~.
1)
The proposed revision to page 4 of the Technical Specifications changes the definition of Primary Containment Integrity, to remove an inconsistency with the Limiting condition for Operation contained in Section 3.7.D.2 and to more closely follow the Standard Technical Specification _ (NUREG-0123, Rev. 3).
2)
Table 3.2.B, page 67 of Appendix A,
" Instrumentation that Initiates or controls the Core and Containment Cooling System", contains an obsolete entry and references which deal with modifications to the LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant Injection) Pump start timers.
Since these modifications have been completed, it is requested that the obsolete material be deleted.
Additionally, revisions to the " REMARKS" column are proposed to clearly indicate that the interlocks apply to both the RHR and Core Spray system.
These revisions serve to remQve potential confusion.
3)
The proposed revisions to pages 240m and 240n delete the references to smoke detectors S22A and S180 from-Table 3.14.C.1 of Appendix A.
The proposed revision corrects an error in Licensee's Application fqc Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses DPR-44 and DPR-56 dated February 18, 1982.
Misinterpretation of the electrical drawings in the early stages of the fire protection modifications referenced in the Amendment Application led to the false conclusion that there was redundant safe shutdown equipment located'in Neutron Monitoring Room No. 210 at elevation 135 ft. of Unit No. 2 and Neutron Monitoring Room No. 255 at elevation 135 ft, of Unit No. 3.
Regulation 10CFR50, Appendix R, requires the installation of automatic fire detection systems in areas of the plant containing safe shutdown components.
Subsequently, a field survey and reevaluation conducted in the midst of the modifications prior to the submittal of the Amendment Application revealed that the safe shutdown equipment is physically located in the general area above these rooms.
This general area is presently protected by'a smoke detection system in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix R.
For these reasons, smoke detectors S22A and S180 were deleted from the final design of the smoke detection systems and removed from service prior to the completion of the fire protection modifications.
However, the final design was 1
not reflected in the Application for Amendment referenced above.
I i.
4 4)
_The proposed revision to page 262 of the Technical Specifications revises the requirement for administrative control of high radiation area keys as specified'in Section 6.13.1.b to extend control of'the keys to the Health Physics group as shown on revised page 262 of the proposed Technical Specifications.
The proposed revision conforms to the Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-0123, Rev. 3, Section 6.12.2, Page 6-20) and would provide more effective control of high radiation area keys since the Health Physics group has a better overall knowledge of the radiation levels in all areas of the plant.
Additionally, extending control of the keys to the Health Physics group reduces the administrative details of the shift supervision while also reducing the amount of unnecessary personnel in the Control room.
Pursuant to 10CFR Section 170.22, " Schedule of Fees for Facility License Amendments", Licensee proposes that this j
Application for Amendment be considered a Class III Amendment for Unit 2 and d Class I Amendment for Unit 3, since the proposed changes are deemed not to involve a significant hazards consideration, s
i The Plant Operation Review' Committee and the operation and Safety Review Committee have reviewed these proposed changes ;
to the Technical Specifications, and have concluded that they do not involve an unreviewed safety question or a significant hazard consideration; and will not endanger the health and safety of the public.
