Supplemental Information Regarding Temporary Exemption to 10CFR50, Appendix Je Section III.D.3
Dear Mr. Denton:
The purpose of this letter is to provide information inadvertently omitted from Attachment I to the Reference.
This information consists of five additional valves and associated information that did not appear in the table in Attachment I.
- However, the information was accurately provided in
~
Attachment II to the Reference.
A revision to Attachment I is provided.as an enclosure to this letter.
Please replace the affected pages of the Reference with the enclosure.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me or Mr.
O. L. Mayaard of my staff.
Very truly yours, Glenn L. Koester Vice President - Nuclear GLK:see Enclosure cc: P0'Connor (2) p

Mr. H. R. Denten KMLNRC 86-025 February 5, 1985 Attachment I Rev. I to KMLNRC 86-008 Page 1 of 2 SAFETY EVALUATION This application requests a revision to the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit No.
1 Technical Specifications Section 4.6.1.2.d to allow a one-time only deferment of the specified 24 month mar.imum surveillance interval on the below listed containment penetrations for the first operating cycle only (Cycle 1);
provided these surveillances are performed prior to startup following the first refueling outage (Refuel 1).
These surveillances cannot be safely performed at POWER OPERATION.
The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications are provided as Attachment IV.
Refuel 1 is the next scheduled shutdown and is currently scheduled to begin in October, 1986.
In the event of any unanticipated delays in the refueling schedule a unit shutdown to perform these surveillances will be initiated by October 31, 1986. Therefore this request entails an approximate seven month extension in the most limiting case.
If an. unscheduled shutdown of sufficient duration and resulting in appropriate plant conditions occurs prior to Refuel 1, Kansas Gas and Electric Company intends to perform any surveillances that can reasonably be completed.
Since refueling outages normally occur approximately every twelve to eighteen. months, extensions beyond the twenty four month maximum interval allowed by the Technical Specifications are not usually necessary.
However, due to the extended plant startup program and plant performance during Cycle 1, Kansas Gas and Electric Company is requesting the aforementioned Technical Specification Revisions.
Without the requested revisions Wolf Creek Generating Station would be forced into an outage for the purpose of surveillance testing.

-For each of the penetrations considered in the request-for extension of the-surveillance interval, it can be shown that one or both of the following
- design parameters apply:
1.
A closed-ASME piping system (inside and/or outside containment) precludes the release of containment atmosphere to the environs.
i 2.
Should an isolation valve leak slightly when
- closed, the pressurized fluid seal within the pipe precludes. release of containment atmosphere to the environs.
4 Specific details for each containment penetration are included as Attachment i
II and III.
In each case, possible degradation of a containment leakage barrier does not result in a release of radioactive materials from the i
containment atmosphere.
-~
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
The proposed change does not. involve hardware changes nor a change in the l
. manner in which the isolation systems at each penetration functions.
Therefore, the possibility of creating a new-or different kind of accident from any. accident previously evaluated does not ar.iat.
The proposed change does not alter the leakage rate limitations' established i
- in the Technical Specifications.
Therefore, the margin for possible deterioration ~ of the containment integrity during the service intervals between tests has not been reduced.
Additionally, the integrity of-the closed systems has been verified by the Containment Integrated Leak Rate i -
Test (ILRT).
The impact of extending the testing interval of penetrations
[
bounded by these closed systems is reduced by satisfactory ILRT results.
The requested revisions would not have a significant impact on safe operation of the plant when compared to the transient associated with a shutdown for the purpose of performing these surveillances.
Based on the above and the considerations presented in Attachment III, the aforementioned proposed revisions to the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit No.
1, Technical Specifications do not adversely affect or endanger the health or safety of the general public or involve a significant safety hazard.
