IHeconsin Electnc amcoumr 231 W. MICHIGAN, P.O. BOX 2046, MILWAUKEE, WI 53201 October 25, 1983 CERTIFIED MAIL Mr. H. R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Washington, D. C. 20555 Attention: Mr. J. R. Miller, Chief Operating Reactors, Branch 3 Gentlemen:

DOCKETS 50-266 AND 50-301 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST NO. 93 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59, Wisconsin Electric Power Company, Licensee for Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, hereby submits an application for amendments to Facility Operating Licenses DPR-24 and DPR-27. The purpose of these amendments is to incorporate changes to Point Beach Technical Specification 15.3.1.A which eliminate provisions which are beyond the basis for the required operational components of the reactor coolant system.

The attached proposed Technical Specification page includes the following changes identified by margin bars: Specifications 15.3.1.A.1, 15.3.1.A.2, and 15.3.1.A.3 are revised to be applicable only when one or more fuel assemblies are in the reactor vessel.

As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a) (1) , Licensee has determined that these proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration. The Commission has provided guidelines concerning the application of the standards by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870). One of the examples of actions involving no significant hazards consideration relates to purely administrative changes to the technical specifications to achieve consistency. The proposed amendments provide consistency between the intent of the limiting conditions for operation of the reactor coolant system and the technical specification basis. The basis for the specifications to which the changes are proposed is to provide a means of removing Q,./J wlc A= K pI 8311010136 831025 PDR ADOCK 05000266

Mr. H. R. Denton October 25, 1983 heat from the core due to power operation or decay heat generation.

Therefore, the identified specifications are applicable only when one or more fuel assemblies are in the reactor vessel. The proposed change climinates the restrictions in the existing limiting operating conditions which are beyond the scope of the basis for technical specifications and provides the needed flexibility to perform required hydrostatic testing of the reactor coolant system.

Licensee has determined that this license amendment application constitutes a Class II approval request as defined in 10 CFR 170.22. A duplicate review for the second Point Beach unit constitutes a Class I approval. Accordingly, we have enclosed herewith a check in the amount of $1,600 for these license approval fees.

As further specified in the Commission's regulations, enclosed are three signed originals and forty copies of this license amendment application. Please contact.us if you have any additional questions concerning this subject.

Very truly yours, h

Vice President-Nuclear Power C . W. Fay Enclosure (Check No. 754051)
