Subject:

License Amendment Application to Revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.3.2.1,  !

Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation, and Associated Bases (License Amendment Request No. 98-0005; TAC No. MA6361)

Ladies and Gentlemen: l Enclosed is an application for an amendment to the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS), Unit Number 1 Operating License Number NPF-3, Appendix A - Technical Specifications. The proposed changes involve Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.3.2.1, Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation, and associated Bases 3/4.3.1 and  ;

3/4.3.2, Reactor Protection System and Safety System Instrumentation.

The proposed changes to TS 3/4.3.2.1 would revise Table 3.3-4, Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Setpoints, to remove the " Trip Setpoint" values for Instrument String Functional Unit "b", Containment Pressure - High, and Functional Unit "c", Containment Pressure - High-High, and also modify the " Allowable Values" l entry for these same Functional Units, consistent with updated calculations using current  ; l setpoint methodology. The proposed changes would also revise Limiting Condition for /

A Operation (LCO) 3.3.2.1, and Bases 3/4.3.1 and 3/4.3.2 to reflect the removal of the

" Trip Setpoint" values for these Functional Units.

Updating of the calculation for the Containment Pressure - High setpoint was discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-346/97-201, dated September 4,1997 (Toledo Edison Log o Number 5122), regarding the Design Inspection. NRC Inspection Report 50-346/98003, Ol ,

dated March 10,1998 (Toledo Edison Log Number 1-3949), documented a follow-up inspection, and noted that the DBNPS agreed to revise the calculation and submit the associated License Amendment Request to the NRC. By letter dated June 24,1999 (FirstEnergy letter Serial Number 2604), the DBNPS notified the NRC of its plans and
