Subject:
Catawba Nuclear Station Docket Nos. 50-413 and 50-414 4
McGuire Nuclear Station 4
Docket Nos. 50-359 and 50-370 Technical Specification Amendment Relocation of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits Attached are changes to the Catawba and McGuire Nuclear Station Technical Specifications which relocate certain cycle-specific parameter limits to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).
Since the changes for McGuire and Catawba are virtually identical, they are being submitted together in an effort to conserve resources.
As discussed in the technical justifications, amendment 74 and 68 for Catawba Units 1 and 2, and amendment 105 and 87 for McGuire Units 1 and 2 revised the Technical Specifications to replace the values of certain cycle-specific parameter limits with a reference to the COLR.
Since the time of these amendments, additional cycle-specific parameters have been identified in cupport of cycle operation and reload design.
Similar changes have been submitted and approved in a safety evaluation dated September 16, 1991 for Oconee Nuclear Station.
' contains the marked up Technical Specification pages, sample COLR, technical justification and No Significant Hazards Analysis for Catawba.
Attachment 2
contains the marked up Technical Specification
- pages, sample
- COLR, technical justification,-and No Significant Hazards Analysis for McGuire.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 (b) (1), the appropriate South Carolina and 4
North Cart., lina officials are being provided a copy of this amendment request.

Catawba Facility Operating License amendment numbers 74 and 68 dated May 17, 1990 for. units:1 and 2 respectively, revised the Catawba 2
Technical Specifications to replace the values of certain cycle-specific parameter limits with a-reference to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), which contains the values of the limits.
- However, additional existing cycle-specific parameter limits in the Catawba Technical Specifications, not included in the above amendments, have been revised due to changes in these parameters in support of Unit 2 Cycle 6 operation and reload design.
Similar limits have also changed i
in recent McGuire fuel cycles.
In addition, McGuire Facility Operating License amendment numbers 105 and 87 dated March 15, 1990 for units 1 i
and 2 respectively, revised the McGuire Technical Specifications to incorporate an identical COLR methodology.
Therefore, in order to
{
simplify Imc review of identical Technical Specification revision proposals, it is proposed that the McGuire Technical Specifications be l
changed identically with respect to the applicable item relocations to the COLR.
Recent instances where one or more of these limits has been a
changed in a Technical Specification revision proposal include McGuire 1 Cycle 8. McGuire 2 Cycle 8, Catawba 1 Cycle 7, and Catawba 2 Cycle 5.
i In recognition of the burden on licensee and NRC resources associated with changes to Technical Specifications, the NRC issued Generic Letter i
88-16 on October 4, 1988 encouraging licensees to propose changes to j
Technical Specifications that are consistent with the guidance provided in the enclosure to the generic letter.
This enclosure provides guidance for the preparation of a license amendment request to modify Technical Specifications that have cycle-specific parameter limits.
With the implementation of this alternative the imC concluded that reload license amendments for the sole purpose of updating cycle i
specific parameter limits would be unnecessary.
The proposed revisions f
described in tables 1-4 would relocate the cycle-specific parameter limits from the Catawba and McGuire Technical Speciiications in accordance with the guidance provided in the enclosure to Generic Letter 88-16.
