The values in Table E of SNC letter dated August 5,1997 indicate the results of the Main Steam Line Break radiological analysis submitted in the BOP Uprate Licensing Report do not reflect the steam generator tube leak rate for application of alternate repair criteria (ARC) approved in FNP Technical Specifications Amendment Nos.132 (Unit 1) and 124 (Unit 2). Please provide an analysis of the offsite and control room doses reflecting these amendments for power uprate conditions.

SNC Resooitsq to Oucsis No.1 l 1

l The most limiting case of an accident initiated iodine spike has been re-analyzed for the combination 1 of alternate repair criteria and power uprate assumptions. The new input assumptions are listed in  ;

the Table E revision provided in Attachment II. (Reference SNC RAI letter dated August 5,1997 j Attachment 1.)
