SUBJECT:
DAILY HIGHLIGHT Plant ~Name
.Diablo Canyon Unit 2 Exemption An Exemption has been granted today for Diablo Canyon Unit 2 regarding the requirement in 10 CFR 50.46(a)(1) that. a plant specific ECCS cooling performance analysis must be preformed hith an approved code which demonstrates that the peak cladding temperature (PCT) limit of 2200'F in 10 CFR 50.46(b) is not exceeded. The heat transfer characteristics of the Unit 2 steam' generators are better and the reactor operates with a lower Tavg than was assumed in the original analysis, resulting in a PCT that exceeds the 2200'F limit by about 7*F.
The Exemption was granted to allow the licensee to perform the necessary PCT calculations with an approved code and based on actual plant operation conditions, which are expected to be completed in late August, 1986.
The Exemptions does not apply to Unit I which operates at conditions closely to those assumed in the original analysis.
