Subject:
Hope Creek Generating Station Docket No.
50-354 License Change Request LCR 94-32 3
Extension of Containment Vent and Purge Valve operation The subject request was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by Public Service Electric and Gas Company on May 4, 1995.
This amendment revises Technical Specification Section 3/ 4. 6.1. 8 Drywell and Suppression Chamber Purge System and its associated Bases section by extending the annual 120 hour0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br /> operational limit to 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br />.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protections Bureau of Nuclear Engineering (BNE) reviewed the above amendment in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(b), and has the
.following comments.
The BNE believes that since variances to the allowable j
operating limit for the containment purge system are based on plant specific equipment configurations, site meteorology,. radiological j
source term for reactor type, etc., the bases for extending this limit to 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> should be provided.
The NRC's Safety Evaluation for Amendment 16, which extended the annual 90 hour0.00104 days <br />0.025 hours <br />1.488095e-4 weeks <br />3.4245e-5 months <br /> limit to 120 hours0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br />, contains a detailed explanation and justification for the increase of 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> per year.

tr provide, a similar justification.
Also, PSE&G says that While the,re is a slight increase in the possibility of purge operations at the onset of a
- LOCA, any resulting release would be insignificant and bounded by existing LOCA analysis. The BNE, F ever, suggests that although this resulting release could be issignificant, its radiological impact should be analyzed and discussed in this amendment request.
