October 4, 1983 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Serial No. 548 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation N0/JHL:acm Attn:
Mr. James R. Miller, Chief Docket Nos. 50-338 Operating Reactors 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 change to the Technical Specifications, to Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 for the North Anna Power Station Unit Nos. I and 2
The proposed changes will revise Technical Specification 3/4.7.10.
Surveil-lance requirement 4.7.10c will be revised to add an exemption which will allow an engineering evaluation to be performed if a failure occurs on a steam generator / reactor coolant pump support snubber to determine if generic deficiencies exist.
If integrity of other anubbers is suspected, additional samples will be functionally tested.
The remaining changes to Technical Specification 3/4.7.10 are proposed in Tables 3.7-4a and 3.7-4b.
These proposed changes reflect the current plant configurations due to various design changes.
Table 3.7-4a reflects the
- addition, deletion, and typographical corrections to safety related hydraulic snubbers and Table 3.7-4b reflects the hydraulic snubber system abbreviations.
The proposed Technical Specification changes for North Anna Unit No. I are provided in Attachment 1.
The proposed Technical 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 Staf f.
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 10CFR50. 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 Specifica-I tions: for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement." This example of a non significant hazards consideration fits the proposed exemption to surveillance requirement 4.7.10c.

the determine whether additional snubbers need functional testing increases surveillance requirements.
In addition, example (ii) also fits a non The significant hazards consideration for the addition of hydraulic snubbers.
addition of hydraulic snebbers adds to the surveillance requirements of Technical Specification 3/4.7.10.
Several typographical errors existed in g
Table 3.7-4a, therefore, example (i) of a
