Letter, R.W. Krieger to William H. Bateman,
Subject:
" Request for Enforcement Discretion, CEA Reed Switch Position Transmitter Surveillance Testing, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 3, dated February 6, 1997 Enclosed is Amendment Application Number 151 to Facility Operating License NPF-15,fortheSanOnofreNuclearGeneratingStation(SONGS), Unit 3.
The Amendment Application consists of Proposed Technical Specification Change Number 479 (PCN-479). This is a request for an exigent Technical
^
Specification change as a followup to the Request for Enforcement Discretion, Reference 1, above.
l The proposed change is requested to defer implementation of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.1.5.4 of Technical Specification (TS) 3.1.5, "CEA Alignment" until the next Unit 3 refueling outage. The need for this request i
results from an error in implementation of this SR. The SR was believed to be satisfied by a surveillance which simulated an input for each Reed Switch Position Transmitter (RSPT) into each Control Element Assembly Calculator (CEAC) and verified the correct response of the CEAC.
This change is not being requested for Unit 2 since that Unit is currently shutdown for a refueling outage. The RSPTs will be tested in accordance with SR 3.1.5.4 prior to return to Mode 2.
The Southern California Edison Company requests piis amendment be issued as an exigent TS change, effective as of its date of issuance.

circumstances for this TS amendment request exist due to the fact that it would avoid an undesirable transient associated with an unnecessary plant shutdown and thus minimize potential safety consequences and operational risks associated with such action.
In the event of a planned or unplanned shutdown of Unit 3, prior to the Cycle 9 refueling outage, testing in accordance with SR 3.1.5.4 will be performed prior to return to Mode 2.
If you would like additional information regarding this Amendment Application, please let me know.
Sincerely, Enclosure cc:
