VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RIcnwoxn, VIRGINIA 232 61 W.L.Srawu7 Vacs Pasatumat Neca.mAm ormaarrow. October 7, 1983 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Serial No. 552 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation N0/JHL:acm Attn: Mr. James R. Miller, Chief Docket Nos. 50-338 Operating Reactor = Branch No. 3 50-339 Division of Licensing License Nos. NPF-4 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NPF-7 Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NORTH ANNA POWER STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Virginia Electric and Power Company requests an amendment, in the form of changes to the Technical Specifications, to Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for the North Anna Power Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2.

The proposed Technical Specification changes will revise the existing Technical Specifications to raflect the addition of new fire protection systems. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's safety evaluation report on the North Anna Units 1 and 2 fire protection program, dated February, 1979, required the installation of additional fire protection systems in certain safety reitted areas of the station. The new fire protection systems have been' installed by Design Change 78-68.' These fire protection systems increase the protection provided to safety related systems from the hazard of fire.

The proposed Technical Specification changes for North Anna Unit No. 1 are provided in Attachment 1. The proposed Techuical Specification changes for North Anna Unit No. 2 are provided in Attachment 2. A discussion of the proposed Technical Specification changes is provided in Attachment 3.

This request has been reviewed and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee and the Safety Evaluation and Control Staff. It has been determined that this request does not involve an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59.

These proposed changes do not pose a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92. Example (ii) in the Federal Register dated April 6, 1983, Page 14870 states, "a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications:

for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement". The addition of these new fire protection systems increases the surveillance requirements in the Technical Specifications and increases the protection to safety related systems from the hazard of fire.

VraoIN:A ErzcTarc Awn Powra COMPANY TO Harold R. Denton We have reviewed this request in accordance with the criteria in 10 CFR 170.22. Since this request involves a safety issue which the Staff should be able to determine does not involve a significant hazards consideration for Unit 1 and a duplicate safety issue for Unit 2, a Class III license amendment fee and a Class I license amendment fee are required for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. A voucher check in the amount of $4,400 is enclosed in payment of the required fees.

Very truly yours, I
