Mr. R. L..Andrews EJordan:

JPartlow Division Manager - Nuclear Production BGrimes ACRS Omaha Public Power District-FMiraglia Docket Files 1623 Harney Street Omaha, Nebraska 68102_

Dear Mr. Andrews:

In response to a verbal request that I made to Ms. Munderloh of your staff, OPPD provided a working copy of your Technical Specifications to be compared-to the NRC's record copy. Two discrepancies and an error that is present in both your working copy and the NRC's record copy were noted.

The two discrepancies were probably made when the pages were retyped.

'These can be corrected by making the following changes to your working copy.-

Page 3 Basis, second line, word "results" should be " result".

Page 3 3.3.b. third line, third word "is" should be "in".

Errors-of this type should be eliminated since instituting the policy of submitting marked up technical specification pages as opposed to retyped pages.

I might add that the submittal of marked up pages makes the editing job a great deal easier.

An error occurs on page 3-70 Section 3.12.1.f in the fourth line, "which" is misspelled as "shich". This is an error in the NRC record copy and should be changed in a future application, preferably one that would affect this page for other reasons.

This Technical Specification comparision covered the posting' of amendments through Amendment No. 98 since Amendment No. 99 had not been posted to your working copy at the time of the request.

i This comparison was done by Pat Kreutzer, the Project Directorate Licensing Assistant.

I join her in thanking you for your prompt response to my verbal request and the excellent results of this comparison.

Sincerely,

/S/

V 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS

~.1 Instrumentation and Control 3

Applicability Applies to the reactor protective system and other critical instru-mentation and controls.

Objective To specify the minimum frequency and type of surveillance to be applied to critical plant instrumentation and controls.

Specifications Calibration, testing and checking of instrument channels, reactor protective system and engineered safeguards system logic channels and miscellaneous instrument systems and controls shall be performed as specified in Tables 3-1 to 3-3 subject to the following:

a.

A maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25%

of the surveillance interval unless otherwise specified, and b.

A total maximum combined interval time for any 3 consecutive surveillance functions not to exceed 3.25 (g

times the specified interval.

Basis 9

Failures such as blown instrument fuses, defective indicators, and faulted amplifiers which result [in " upscale" or "downscale" indica-Y tion can be easily recognized by simple observation of the functioning of an instrument or system. Furthemore, r.uch failures are, in many cases, revealed by alarm or annunciator action and a check supple-ments this type of built-in surveillance.

~

Based on the District's experience in operation of conventional power plants and on reported nuclear plant experience, a checking frequency of once-per-shift is deemed adequate for reactor and steam system instrumentation.

Calibrations are performed to ensure the presentation and acquisition of accurate information.

The power range safety channels are calibrated daily against a calorimetric balance standard to account for errors induced by changing rod patterns and core physics parameters.

Other channels, subject only to the " drift" errors, can be expected to remain within acceptable tolerances if recalibration is performed at each refueling shutdown interval.

(iii) Quarterly channel functional tests.-

e.

The steam generator blowdown effluent flow iate will be calibrated at "R" frequency (every 18 months) and visually detonained operable daily.

f.

Records shall be maintained of the radioactive concentrations and volume before dilution of each batch of liquid effluent released and of the average dilution flow and length of time overGRgg each discharge occurred. Analytical results shall be submitted to the Ccemission in accordance with Section 5.9.4.a of these specifications.

(2) Gaseous Effluents a.

Radioactive gaseous vaste sampling and activity analyses shall be performed in accordance with Table 3-12.

b., (i)

A ventilation stack radiation monitor shall have a source check prior to any release of radioactive materials from a gas decay tank or the containment. A monthly source check will be performed during refueling outages if a purge or gas decay tank release is not done during that month.
