f Philadelphia Electric Company, Licensee under Facility

~.

Operating License DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit No; 3, hereby requests that the Technical Specifications in i Appendix A of the Operating License be amended by revising certain sections as indicated by a vertical ~bar in the margin of attached pages iv, 142h and 1421.

t The changes to the Technical Specifications are being

, re' quested tx) identify the MAPLHGR limits for all. fuel types for -

Unit 3, Cycle 7 operation.

t.. .

, ~. .

• r The proposed changes incorporate MAPLHGR limits for Type BP8DRB299 and Type BP8DRB299H fuel (BP8x8R pre pressurized with barrier cladding) as shown on pages 142h and 1421, respectively.

The results of an analysis of the safety considerations involved in these MAPLHGR limits is set forth in a General Electric Company document-titled, " Loss of Coolant Accident Analysis for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3", Errata and Addenda Number 6 to NEDO-24082, dated November 1984, which is filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.

Significant Hazards Consideration Determination The proposed changes which identify MAPLHGR limits for Type BP8DRB299 and Type BP8DRB299H fuel are not significant changes since the new fuel assemblies are not significantly different from those previously found acceptable by the NRC for operation in Unit 3.

Consequently, pursuant to the guidance-provided by the NRC in the Federal Register, April 6, 1983, 48 FR 14870, the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration since the request does not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, or (2) create the possibility of a ,

new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

6

f L The Plant Operation Review Committee and the Nuclear Review Board have reviewed these proposed changes to the Technical Specifications, and have concluded that they do not involve any unreviewed safety question or a significant-hazards consideration and will not endanger the health and safety of the

,public.

Respectfully submitted, PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY
