Youngblood, Director PWR Directorate No. 4 Suyect: McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket No. 50-369, 50-370 Steam Generator Tube Plugging Criteria

Dear Mr. Denton:

By letter dated June 24, 1986 and supplemented July 1, 1986, July 23, 1986, August 5, 1986 and August 13, 1986, Duke Power proposed changes to the steam generator tube plugging criteria in the McGuire Nuclear Station Technical Specifications to incorporate the F* criteria for steam generator (S/G) tube plugging. Per dis-cussions between our respective staffs, please find attached revised pages of the proposal. Only the affected pages are attached and the changes from the August 13, 1986 letter are minor wording changes and clarifications - no change to the intent of the proposal is made.

This submittal supplements an earlier proposal, thus no license fees are enclosed.

Duke Power believes that sufficient information has been submitted and discussions between our respective staffs have been sufficient to assure prompt, positive technical closure of this issue to support the scheduled August 19 entry into Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown), however, please feel free to contact us if you require any additional information.

Very truly yours, gM Hal B. Tucker JBD/66/jgm Attachment 8608210061 860018 \
