North Atlamic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantwj has enclosed herein License Amendment Request (LAR) 96-06. LAR 96-06 is submitted pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.90 and 10CFR50.4.
LAR 96-06 proposes four changes related to emergency diesel generator (EDG) requirements contained in Technical Specification 3/4.8.1, "AC Sources". The proposed changes will accomplish the following:
1.
Increase the fuel storage system mmimum volume requirements from 60,000 gallons to 62,000 gallons to account for external facts that may affect the fuel consumption rate. 'this requirement is currently being adnunistratively controlled.
2.
Qualify the words "during shutdown"in the EDG 18 month shutdown surveillance requirement to allow the option of performing selected surveillances, or portions thereof, during conditions or modes other than shutdown subject to the performance of a 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluation.
- 3. Amendment 18 to the Seabrook Station Operating License eliminated the requirement for automatic start of the cooling tower fans on a Tower Actuation signal, however, due to an administrative oversight in License Amendment Request LAR 92-13 the requirement to test this feature was not deleted from Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.f.14.
Seabrook Station has continued to comply with the requirements of Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.f.14, as presently worded.
4.
Delete the requirement to pressure test the ASME Code Class 3 diesel fuel oil piping which is redundant to Technical Specification 4.0.5 and which establishes the requirement to perform inservice inspection and insersice testing in accordance with the ASME Code Section XI requirements.
