7 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAP. RE4tlLATORY COMMISSION COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY LA SALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 MD 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-373 AND 50-374 NOTICE OF DENIAL OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTilNITY FOR HEADING The !!.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has denied in part requests by the licensen for amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18, issued to the Commonwealth Edison Company (licenseel, for operation of the la Salle County Station, linits 1 and 2 located in la Salle County, Illinois. The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments was published in the Federal Register on April 9, 1986 (51 FR 122A7).
The amendments proposed by the licensee would change the Technical Specifi-cations: (a) to add fire detectors in fire zones 2C, 4C2, 3C, 4C3, and 6E to Unit I to demonstrate compliance with Operating License NPF-11 License Condition P.C.(25)(c); and Ibi for Units 1 and 2 to delete the Action Statement 2.3.7.95.
The licensee's reason for this proposed item b change is that: ai they will have the required special fire watch patrol at least once per hour in each such area with a deficient number of fire detection instruments, and b) this change is con-sistent with the General Electric (gel Standard Technical Specificatinrs (STS).
However, the presence of the required special fire watch (3.3.7.9a) does not address the requirement for returning instruments to operable status or submitting a Special Report to describe the actions taken to restore the operability, the cause of ther inoperability, and plans and schedule for restoring the instruments -
status if instruments are not operable after 14 days.
In addition, the proposed kN $0gCK 05000373 59 860716 P
change is not consistent with the present GE STS, NUREG-0123, Revision 3 which reouires ret' urn of instruments to an operable status or the Special Report pre-viously described. We discussed the deficiencies above with representatives of the licensee by phone. They acknowledged using outdated standard Technical Specifications.
Further, the licensee concluded that modifyino their request to include the excluded section of the Standard Technical Specification was not necessary at this time since they intended to withdraw all fire related Technical Specifications in accordance with the voluntary aspect given in Generic letter 86-10 " Implementation of Fire Protection Requirements". The staff, therefore, denied the deletion of Technical Specification 3.3.7.9b on the basis of the above. Therefore, the licensee must abide by the previously issued Action Statement 3.3.7.9b.
By Aug. 21,1986,the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to the denials described above and any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene.
A reouest for a hearing or cetition for leave to intervene must comply with tne requirements of the Comission's Rules of Practice,10 CFR Part 2, and must be filed with the Secretary of the Comission Washington, D.C.
