SUMMARY

OF SEPTEMBER 30,1999 MEETING ON PROPOSED FIVE PERCENT POWER UPRATE On September 30,1999, the NRC staff met with representatives of thi FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC)in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed five percent power uprate for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, submitted by letter dated September 9,1999. A list of the meeting' participants is included as Encibsure 1. A copy of the licensee's meeting handout is included as Enclosure 2.

FENOC stated that the five percent power uprate is expected to be simpler than other similar power u' prates because there is no reactor pressure increase involved. Additionally, FENOC has reviewed past power uprates for NRC staff. requests for additional information (RAls) and has included information in its submittal to address the past staff R Als. FENOC plans to institute the power uprate midcycle (approximately June 2000) and requests NRC review to be completed by.May 1,2000. This date is based on expected customer electrical loading. A

' discussion was held regarding the number of RAls to be issued by the staff. FENOC stated that

- they will entertain RAls as they are developed and the staff does not have to hold questions from each technical bre.ch until they can be issued as one RAl.

On September 30,1999, the NRC staff met with representatives of the FirstEnergy JJuclear 1 Operating Company (FENOC) in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to  ;

discuss the proposed five percent power uprate for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, submitted by letter dated September 9,1999. A list of the meeting participants is included as Enclosure 1. A copy of the licensee's meeting handout is included as Enclosure 2.

FENOC stated that the five percent power uprate is expected to be simpler than other simiiar power uprates because there is no reactor pressure increase involved. Additionally, FENOC has reviewed past power uprates for NRC staff requests for additional information (RAls) and i has included information in its submittal to address the past staff RAls. FENOC plans to institute i the power uprate midcycle (approximately June 2000) and requests NRC review to be completed by May 1,2000. This date is based on expected customer electricalloading.

Completed RFO7 Activities...

I Added a Steam Line Resonance Compensator circuit (concern over pressure wave propagation in Main Steam Lines - 3rd order harmonic) to the Steam Bypass & Pressure Regulation System.

I Implemented TIL 1123 to add hydraulic accumulators for the Turbine Control Valves (TCV)

I Recalibrated the TCV steam flow to valve position curves to permit smoother TCV operation. The TCV's will operate further open than they have in the past.

I Control Room Load and Load Set meters were rescaled to 1500 MWe.

Power Uprate Methodology...

-wr n ~ a.a m;2mmmmw.n ,.,.

I Process followed the NRC approved generic format and content for BWR power uprate per the licensing topical reports documented in GE LTR-1 and LTR-2.

I Using GE LTR-1, every issue required to be addressed in a plant-specific power uprate licensing report is addressed in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR)

I For issues that were evaluated generically, the generic evaluations in either GE LTR-1 and/or LTR-2 are used as the primary references.

I SAR not intended to address all the details of the analyses and evaluations. It summarizes the results of all the significant operational and safety evaluations needed to justify a licensing amendment to allow for uprated power operatiori.

L-L RAI review and.. approval process... l I The Perry SAR has incorporateo many previously issued Requests for Additional Information (RAI) that have come as a result of past power uprate license amendment requests.

The RAI's for the following plants were categorized and incorporated, as appropriate, into the Perry SAR submittal:

Brown's Ferry 2 & 3 Nine Mile 2 Brunswick 1 & 2 Peach Bottom 2 & 3 Hatch Susquehanna Fermi 2 WNP2 Fitzpatrick Limerick i
