Dear Mr. Sylvia:

EJordan WRogers S

Subject:

Proposed Revision of Fermi-2 Technical Specification 3/4.8.4.3, Motor Operated Valve Themal Overload Protection Surveillance Requirement By letter dated September 30, 1986, DECO submitted a proposed license amend-ment which was intended to clarify the surveillance test requirement for the protection of motor operated valves. This requirement is stated in the subject Technical Specification as follows.

"The thermal overload protection for the above required valves shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at least once per 18 months and following maintenance on the motor starter by the performance of a CHANNEL CALI-BRATION of a representative sample of at least 25 percent of all thennal overloads for the above required valves."

During development of the Fermi-2 Technical Specifications this requirement was interpreted by DECO and the NRC staff to mean that 25 percent of the thermal over-load protection devices would be tested by performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION test once per 18 months, and if maintenance was required on a motor starter, only that motor starter would be tested by the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION test.

DECO's proposed Technical Specification change, as delineated in the September 30, 1986 letter, reaffirms the intent of the above related surveillance test require-ment. Therefore, the administrative change proposed is not considered to be neces-sary, and no further action on LECo's request is planned by the NRC.

This' finding has been communicated with your staff in advance of this letter and they agree that a license amendment incorporating a change to Technical Specifi-cetions 3/4.8.4.3 will not be necessary.

C Sincerely,

(,.,
