'+ , ,, # September 3,1986 Docket No. 50-213 Mr. John F. Opeka, Senior Vice President Nuclear Engineering and Operations Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company Post Office Box 270 Hartford, Connecticut 06141-0270

Dear Mr. Opeka:

SbBJECT: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR INSERVICE INSPECTION OF STEAM GENERATOR TUBES Re: Haddam Neck Plant

. The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 82 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-61 for the Haddam Neck Plant. This amendment is in response to your application dated April 15, 1986, as modified June 4, 1986.

This amendment revises the technical specifications to permit plant operation with four steam generator tubes in steam generator #4 that were not inspected as required by technical specification Table 4.10.1-2.

Haddam Neck Plant operation in this condition is limited to the present cycle (cycie 14) only, and the licensee has agreed to inspect these steam generator tubes during the next outage.

The staff has concluded that there is reasonable assurance that operation i

for one cycle would not endanger the health and safety of the public because the licensee's data shows that row numbers 1 through 3 have been relatively free of degraded tubes. The 100 percent 1984 eddy-current inspection and the

( 1986 inspection results indicated no defects in the lower rows (Rows 1 - 3) of any of the four steam generators. The 1984 inspection shows no detectable flaws; and the licensee has verified by visual inspections of steam generator

( numbers 3 and 4, that no " hour glassing" of flow slots was observed.

A Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to License and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing related to the requested action was published in the Federal Register on July 2, 1986 (51 FR 24251). No comments or request for hearing were received.
