Dear Mr. Denton:
ULNRC-1208 DOCKET NUMBER 50-483 CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 REVISIONS TO CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Reference:
ULNRC-794 dated 4-9-84 Union Electric Company is transmitting three (3) original and forty (40) conformed copies of an application for amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-30 for Callaway Plant, Unit 1.
This amendment application requests that the following Technical Specifications be revised to indicate the correct value 6.2.1.4.3.3 and Table 6.2.f as given in SNUPPS FSAR Section of P 2
(i.e.,
48.1 psig):
1.
4.6.1.1.c 2.
3.6.1.2.a 3.
3.6.1.2.b 4.
4.6.1.2.a 5.
4.6.1.2.d 6.
3.6.1.3.b 7.
4.6.1.3.b 8.
4.6.1.7.2 The proposed changes would become effective for Union Electric implementation upon NRC approval.
Enclosed is a check for the $150.00 application fee as required by 10CFR170.21.
Very truly yours,

SAFETY EVALUATION This amendment request revises Technical Specifications 4.6.1.1.c, 3.6.1.2.a, 3.6.1.2.b, 4.6.1.2.a, 4.6.1.2.d, 3.6.1.3.b, 4.6.1.3.b, and 4.6.1.7.2 to indicate that containment leak rate testing (Type A, B, C tests per 10CFP50, Appendix J) is to be performed at the calculated peak containment internal pressure pr8s)sure/ temperature analyses in the"SNUPPS FSAR (P
of 48.1 psig.
This value for P is a result of containment (refer to Section 6.2.1.4.3.3 and Table 6.2.1-2).
r This change has no effect on the Integrated Containment Leakage Rate Test results submitted via the referenced letter (ULNRC-794)?
This Type A test was performed at 50.05 psig.
!!owever, all Local Leakage Rate Tests (Type B and C) have been perft ned at the current Technical Specification value of P (i.e.,
48.0 psig).
To reconcile the use of this slightly 18wer test pressure, an evaluation was performed to determine the impact on meeting the acceptance criteria for Type B and C tests.
The results of this evaluation indicated a negligible effect on meeting the acceptance criteria (i.e., a 0.1% increase in the total leakage for Type B and C tests which remains 25% of the allowable value of 0.6L ).
Therefore, the error estimated to result from performing fhe Local Leakage Rate Test at 48.0 psig is within the uncertainty associated with the test method and is considered to be insignificant.
The Technical Specification changes cited in Attachment 3 will ensure that future testing is performed at the correct pressure.
Pursuant to the above information, this amendment request does not adversely affect or endanger the health of the general public and does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
L_
ULNRC- /203 SIGNIFICANT HAZABDS CONSIDERATIONS As discussed in Attachment 1, the Technical Specification changes delineated in Attachment 3 have an insignificant effect on previous test results and will ensure that future tests are performed at the correct pressure as derived from the safety analyses.
These changes have no effect on plant design or operation.
The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of the standards in 10CFR50.92 by providing certain examples (48FR14870).
The amendment requests given in are similar to the example of an action involving no significant hazards consideration which relates to a change that is administrative in nature.
These changes ensure consistency between the Technical Specifications and the FSAR.
Based on the foregoing, the requested amendment does not present a significant hazard.
