r-l The possibility of thermal hydraulic instability in a BWR has been investigated since the startup of early BWRs. Based on tests and analytical models .it has been identified that the high power-low flow corner of the power-to-flow map is the region of least stability margin. This region maybe encountered during startups, shutdowns, sequence exchanges, and as a result of a recirculation pump (s) trip event. To ensure stability, single loop operation is limited in a designated restricted region ~(Figure 3.4.1.1-1) of the power-to-flow map. Single loop operation with a designated surveillance region (Figure 3.4.1.1-1) of the power-to-flow map requires monitoring of APRM and LPRM noise levels. I l

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Commonwealth Edison has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification Amendment and determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration. Based on the criteria for defining a significant hazards consideration established in 10 CFR 50.92, operation of LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the proposed amendment will not:

1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because:

For Cycle 2, the MCPR fuel cladding integrity safety limit was changed from 1.06 to 1.07 for two recirculation loop operation, and from 1.07 to 1.08 for single recirculation loop operation. The safety limit is smaller for initial cores because the uncertainties in TIP readings'and the R Factor are smaller. The addition of a new MAPLHGR 'vs Exposure curve for the reload fuel type BP8CRB299L in the APLHGR Technical Specification. The MAPLHGR limits were provided by General Electric in the Supplemental Reload Licensing Submittal LIC2. The replacement of the existing MCPR curve with a revised curve which j reflects the limiting transients for cycle 2. The MCPR limits were ' provided by General Electric in the Supplemental Reload Licensing l Submitting LIC2. Although the cycle specific demonstrated adequate i stability, single loop thermal hydraulic stability requirements were I added to the Recirculation System Technical Specification to address the NRC concerns in this area.

2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated because: ,

l The proposed Technical Specification changes do not represent significant changes in acceptance criteria or safety margins and all changes have been made based on methods that have been previously accepted by the NRC. -The reload core involves a new fuel type which must be licensed. The new fuel type has been analyzed with approved methods and meets the approved limits of GESTAR. The new fuel type presents no unreviewed safety questions because the bundle design has been approved by the NRC, and licensing of new bundle enrichments has been treated as a non-safety related change to GESTAR.

3) Involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety because:

The deletion of the EOC-RPT inoperable provision in the MCPR and EOC Recirculation Pump Trip System Technical Specifications. The EOC-RPT inoperable analysis was .not justified in the second cycle but may be included in future cycles. The replacement of the existing Kg curve with a revised curve which is based on LaSa11e's rated core power and core flow. The original curve  ; was a generic curve. l Based on the preceding discussion, it is concluded that the proposed system change clearly falls within all acceptable criteria-with respect to the system or component, the consequences of previously evaluated accidents will not be increased and the mursin of safety will not be decreased. Therefore, based on the guidance provided in the Federal Register and the criteria established in 10 CFR 50.92, the proposed change does not l constitute a significant-hazards consideration. f 1438K}}
