SUBJECT:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSERVICE INSPECTION OF REACTOR COOLANT PUMP FLYWHEELS Re:

Haddam Neck Plant The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 87 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-61 for the Haddam Neck Plant. This amendment is in response to your application dated September 4,1986.

This license amendment modifies Section 4.10.C of the technical specifications to incorporate inservice inspection surveillance requirements for the reactor coolant pump (RCP) flywheels consistent with the guidance found in Regulatory Guide 1.14, Revision 1.

In particular, this amendment would increase the frequency of each pump flywheel inspection to include an ultrasonic volumetric examination of the bore and keyway areas at approximately 3-year intervals and a surface examination and 100% volumetric examination at approximately 10-year intervals. The present technical specifications require only a surface examination and volumetric examination of only one reactor coolant pump every second outage.

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 October 8, 1986 (51 FR 36086). No comments or requests for hearing were received.
