20555 Attention: Mr. S. A. Varga Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Units 1 and 2 Proposed Technical Specification Change For Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation Gentlemen:
- By letter dated October 21, 1983, the NRC provided Alabama Power Company with guidance for a proposal to upgrade the Farley Nuclear Plant Technical Specification 3/4.3.3.4 for Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation. contains the proposed Technical Specification 3/4.3.3.4 (Tables 3.3-8 and 4.3-5) changes for Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
This change includes air temperature difference in order to conform with the Standard Technical Specification. Additionally, the primary tower 33 foot elevation wind speed and wind direction data will be used should the primary tower 150 foot elevation instruments become inoperable, in accordance with existing technical specifications. This is considered conservative since the 33 foot elevation primary tower wind speeds are historically slower, thereby calculating higher doses than would result from use of the 150 foot elevation primary tower data. Also, the 33 foot elevation primary tower wind direction data has historically been in the same general direction as the 150 foot elevation primary tower data. Therefore, use of the 33 foot elevation primary tower wind speed and direction data in place of the 150 foot primary tower data (when the 150 foot primary tower instruments are inoperable) is conservative for the determination of protective actions which would be initiated in the event of an accident.

Mr. S. A. Varga March 2, 1984 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 The proposed change does not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration as defined in 10CFR50.92. These changes are similar to example (11) of " Examples of Amendments That Are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed in 48FR14870 dated April 6, 1983. These changes are similar in that an additional restriction not presently included in the technical specification is involved.
The Plant Operations Review Committee has reviewed this proposed change. The Nuclear Operations Review Board will review this change at a future meeting.
This proposed change is designated as Class III for Unit I and Class I for Un* t 2.
A check for $4,400 to cover the appropriate fee is enclosed.
In actardance with the 1984 Alabama Power Company licensing plan previously discussed with the NRC Staff, NRC approval of this proposed change is requested by June 1,1984.
In accordance with 10CFR50.90, three (3) signed originals and forty (40) additional copies of this proposed change are enclosed. A copy of this letter and its attachments are being sent to Dr. I. L. Myers, the Alabama State Designee, in accordance with 10CFR50.91(b)(1).
