, DOCKET NOSs 50-361'AND 50-362 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF Af4ENDMENTS TO-r FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-10 and NPF-15.
i issued to Southern California Edison Company (SCE), San Diego Gas and Electric Company, the City of Riverside, California and.the City of Anaheim, California (the licensees), for operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station,' Units 2 and 3 located in San Diego County, California. The' request for amendments was submitted by letter dated December 19, 1988 and identified as Prposed Change PCN-267.
The proposed change would revise Technical Specification 3/4.3.3.1, " Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation." This specification provides alarm / trip setpoints
-for certain radiation monitoring instrumentation channels. The operability of these radiation monitoring alarm channels ensuras that 1) the radiation levels are continuously measured in the areas served by the individual channels, 2) the alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded, i
and 3) su7ficient information is available on selected plant para:neters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident. Radiation monitering instruments provids two trains of high range continuous monitoring, recordiing, and indication of containment area radiation levels. The systems also provide for alarm annancia-tion whenever technical specification limits for area radiation are approached l
or exceeded. During accident conditions the high range containment monitors 8902270400 690216 PDR ADOCL 0500036 I

would provide for long-term post-accident nonitoring of radiation conditions inside containment.
Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.1, states that each containment high range channel shall be demonstrated operable by the performance of a Channel Calibration at least once per 18 months. The proposeci change would revise this interval to at least once per refueling.
