Subject:

Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications Change Request Gentlemen:

Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo) is submitting Technical Specifications (TS) Change Request No. 91-04-0, in accordance with 10

-CFR 50.90, requesting amendments to the TS (Appendix A) of Operating.

License Nos. NPF-39 and NPF-85 for Limerick Generating Station (LGS),

Units 1 and 2, respectively.

This submittal requests that the snubber functional testing TS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) and pertinent Bases be revised to incorporate the most recent recommendations contained in the American Society of. Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Operations and Majntenance (OM) standard for snubber testing, ASME/ ANSI OM-1990 Addenda to ASME/ ANSI OM-1987,-Part 4,

" Examination and Performance Testing of Nuclear Power Plant Dynamic Restraints-(Snubbers)."

Specifically, we are requesting to 1) revise the 10%

functional testing sampling plan (SR 4.7.4.e.1), 2) delete the 55 plan (SR 4.7.4.e.3), 3) incorporate the concept of " Failure Mode Grouping,"

and 4) remove the " reject" line from the 37 plan (SR 4.7.4.o.2).

These same changes have been previously approved by the NRC by letter dated July 13, 1990, for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2.

In addition, we request that the snubber functional testing interval be changed from 18 months to 24 months (+ 25%) to accommodate a 24 month refueling cycle.

We request that, if approved, the Amendments to the LGS, Units 1 and 2, TS be effective upon issuance.

f LGS Units 1 and 2 March 3, 1992 TSCR No. 91-04-0 Page 2' In addition, LGS Unit 1 is scheduled to begin the fourth refueling outsgo on March 21, 1992, during which snubber functional testing will be conducted.

Currently, we have selected to perform snubber testing in accordance with the present TS "55 plan."

However, if this proposed T5 change is approved and we are still peforming snubber functional testing, we will then implement the "37 plan."

If you havu any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very truly yours,
