Byron Station Units 1 and 2 Braldwood Station Units 1 and 2 Information regarding an Application for Amendment to Facility Operat ng Licenses NPF 37/66 & NPF 72/77 Appendix A, Technical Specifications TAC # 79082/79083 and 79084/79085 NRCEockeLNoL30. A5.4L45LandE0-Ah6L452

a) October ! ?,1990 letter from T. Schuster to Dr, T. Murley containing an application for Amendment to the Byron /Braidwoocl Facility Operating Licenses
Dear Dr. Murley:
In Reference (a), pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) proposed to amend Appendix A, Technical Specifications of Facility Operating Licenses NPF 37/66 and NPF 72/77 for Byron /Braidwood Stations. The proposed amendment revises a portion of Technical Specification Tables 2.2-1 and 3.3 4, Reactor Trip System Instrumentation Trip Setpoints and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Setpoints respectively, to reduce the setpoint for Low Low Steam Generator Level Reactor Trip and Auxiliary Feedwater Initiation from 40.8% to 34.8% level for the Unit 1 Model D 4 Steam Generators. This setpoint reduction utilized existing excess margin present in the original 40.8% setpo!nt.
By this letter CECO requests that reviews and processing of the referenced i
application for amendment be delayed until a Setpoint Study being conducted by CECO is completed in June 1991. The scope of the study involves all setpoints provided by l
Westinghouse for the Byron /Braidwood Stations Technical Specifications including Steam Generator Level setpoints specified for Reactor Trip and Auxillary Feedwater initiation. The Setpoint Study is a comprehensive review of the design assumptions made by Westinghouse comparing current plant specific data to the original Westinghouse assumptions. The study may result in changes to margin values, therefore, CECO believes the review delay to be a prudent action although the impact l-of the study on the Steam Generator Level setpoints is unknown at this time.
Commonwealth Edison is notifying the State of Illinois of this information relative to an application for amendment by transmitting a copy of this letter to the designated State Official.
