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

I and 2.

Presently, the Core Surveillance Report, which describes F limits and the surveillance power level for each reload cycle, must be Tubmitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 60 days prior to initial criticality for each cycle. The proposed change would allow Vepco to submit the Core Surveillance Report at a reduced time interval with specific written approval by the NRC.

In addition, in the event that the F limit should change requiring a new Core Surveillance Report submittal EE an amended submittal, it will be submitted 60 days prior to the date the limit would become effective unless approved by the Commission by letter. This reduction in submittal time will allow more flexibility in scheduling core design tasks and refueling outage planning. .This change conforms to changes in regulations and will not affect the validity of information and conclusions in the Core Surveillance Report, nor will it affect the need for frequent axial power distribution surveillance. The proposed Technical Specifications change for North Anna Unit No. 1 is provided in Attachment 1. The proposed Technical Specifications change for North Anna Unit No. 2 is provided in Attachment 2. A discussion of the propcsed Technical Specifications change 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 pose an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 or a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10-CFR 50.92.
