" Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and down s Limit Curves" Union Electric Company herewith transmits an application for amendment to-Facility Operating License Number NPF-30 for the Callaway Plant. This amendment application requests modification of the plant heatup and cooldown curves and the maximum allowable power operated relief valve setpoint curve for cold overpressure protection, as found in Technical Specification Figures 3.4-2, 3.4-3, and 3.4-4.

In Reference 1, we requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.60, " Acceptance Criteria i for Fracture Prevention for Lightwater Nuclear Power Reactors for Normal Operation". This request for I exemption was made in order to apply the guidance of American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Case N- k([.)\ ,f 514, " Low Temperature Overpressure Protection", in lieu of those specified by 10 CFR 50, Appendix G. Code Case N-514 was used in developing Figure 3.4-4 per the methodology of Reference 2.
