c 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC C_0MPANY DOCKET N05. 50-275 AND 50-323 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to facility Operating Licenses No. OPR-80 and DPR-82 issued to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the licensee), for operation of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in San Luis Obispo County, California. The request for amendment was submitted by letter dated October 30, 1987 (Reference LAR 87-09)
The proposed amendments would allow diesel generator 1-3, which is used for both units, to be out of service for up to 14 days during the upcoming refueling outage of Unit I while Unit 2 is in operation. The 14-day period would be used for preventative maintenance and testing of this diesel generator. Diesel generators 2-1 and 2-2 on Unit 2 would both have to be operable during this
~'
period.
Absent the proposed amendment, diesel generator 1-3 can be out of service for only three days while Unit 2 is in operation. According to the licensee,.
three days is not a suf ficient period of time to perfonn the maintenance that is scheduled to be performed during the spring refueling outage of Unit 1.
The proposed amendment would be a temporary extension during the upcoming refueling.
After the maintenance is completed, the allowable outage time would revert to three days.
