Docket No. 50-219 i

Jersey Central Power & Light Company ATTN: Mr. I. R. Finfrock, Jr.

Vice President - Generation Madison Avenue at Punch Bowl Road Morristown, New Jersey 07960 Gentlemen:

We have completed a preliminary review of your application for license amendment dated May 3,1978, concerning the Augmented Offgas System at Oyster Creek.

We have concluded that the Technical Specifications should include limiting conditions for operation and surveillance require-ments for hydrogen content and hydrogen monitors in the offgas system.

please propose such specifications as a supplement to your May 3,1978 application.- A copy of the pertinent pages from the BWR Standard Technical Specifications are enclosed for your guidance.

Sincerely, b

gA w

l RADI0 ACTIVE EFFLUENTS EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE (Systems designed to withstand a hydrogen explosion)

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.11.2.5 The concentration of (hydrogen or oxygen) in the waste gas holdup system shall be limited to 1 4% by volume.

APPLICABILITY: At all times.

ACTION:

With the concentration of (hydrogen or oxygen) in the waste a.

gas holdup system exceeding the limit, restore the concentration to within the limit within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.

I SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.11.2.5 The concentration of (hydrogen or oxygen) in the waste gas holdup system shall be determined to be within the above limits by con-tinuousij monitoring the waste gases in the waste gas holdup system with the (hydrogen or oxygen) monitors required OPERABLE by Table 3.3-12 of Specification 3.3.3.9.

TABLE NOTATION ACTION 23 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, effluent releases via the affected pathway may continue for up to 7 days provided the gross radioactivity level is recorded at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

ACTION 25 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE reqeirement, gases from the condenser air removal system may be released to the environment for up to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> provided:

1.

The waste gas holdup system is not bypassed, and

otherwise, be in at least HOT STANDBY within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, i

ACTION 26 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, effluent releases via this pathway may continue for up to 7 days provided the flow rate is estimated at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

ACTION 27 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, effluent releases via this pathway may continue for up to 7 days provided grab samples are taken at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and these samples are analyzed for gross activity at least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

ACTION 28 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, suspend release of radioactive effluents via this pathway.

ACTION 29 -

With the number of channels OPERABLE less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation of this waste gas holdup system may continue for up to 14 days provided gas samples are analyzed at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

ACTION 30 -

With the number of channnels OPERABLE one less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation of this waste gas holdup system may continue for up to 14 days.

With both channels inoperable, immedi-ately suspend operation of this waste gas holdup system.
