Docket Nos. 50-352/353 Mr. Edward G. Bauer, Jr.
Vice President and General Counsel Philadelphia Electric Company 2301 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19101
Dear Mr. Bauer:
I
SUBJECT:
UPDATED FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT i'
RE:
Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Your letter of February 11,19R6, supplemented by your letter of July 28, 1986, requested a schedular exemption from the requirement of 10 CFR 50.71(e) to submit an updated Final Safety Anelysis Report (FSAR) within 24 months of the i
date of issuance of the operating license.
Based on the issuance of the Limerick Generating Station, Unit 1 operating license on August 8, 1985, this would have required an updated FSAR to be submitted by August 8, 1987.
Because Unit 2 remains under construction, you requested an exemption that would permit filing the Updated FSAR (UFSAR) within 12 months of the issuance of a full power operating license for Limerick Unit 2.
q l
Currently, one FSAR for the Limerick Generating Station covers Unit 1 (which is oparating) and Unit 2 (on which construction is about 73% completed).
Unit 3
2 is essentially identical in design to Unit 1.
The intent of 50.71(e)(4) is i
to require a licensee to update its FSAR at least annually and that the updated FSAR " reflect all changes up to a maximum of six months prior to the date of filing."
- You have comitted to submit changes to the FSAR periodically as follows:
1 1.
Revisions necessary to reflect changes made to Unit i under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59. These submittals will be made no later than six months after the modification has been implemented; 2.
Revisions applicable to Unit 2, identifying differences, if any, between Units; 3.
Typographical corrections; and 4.
Changes to the Quality Assurance Program description as required by 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) and 10 CFR 50.55(f)(3).
In accordance with these comitments, you submitted Revision 49 to the FSAR by your letter of June 30, 1987.
You stated that Revision 49 " brings the Report up-to-date as of at least April 15, 1987." By letter of October 30, 1987, you submitted Revision 50 to the FSAR. You stated that the latest revision " brings 8712160390 071208 PDR ADOCK 05000352 P
7-
~
\\
the Report up-to-date as of at least August 18, 1987." We understand that the current FSAR centains all the required information for both units at Limerick and is complete as of August 18, 1987. Any differences between Units 1 and 2 I
have been identified.
For example, there are stresses and cumulative usage factors given for the Unit 1 piping, but no values listed for the Unit 2 piping because the Unit has not been operating.
We conclude that the periodic revisions to the combined FSAR for Limerick Units 1 and ? that you have been submitting, and which you have committed to centinue to submit, satisfy 10 CFR 50.71(el and that there is no need for an exemption.
l With respect to revisions to the FSAR, vou have be., submitting an original J
and 37 copies of all amendments.
In the FEDERAL ret ' STER of November 6,1986 j
(51 FR 40307), the Conrnission established revised sub, ittal requirements.
We j
regard the amendments to the FSAR as falling under tha ' requirements' applicable to an Updated FSAR which specifies a signed original ah' 12 copies.
Since issuance of the Unit 1 operating license, you have been providing in Appendix B (Volume 17) of the FSAR a summary description of the changes and issues that are reflected in each revision to the FSAR.
In some cases, you specifically described the modifications that were the reasons for changing e i
drawing (e.g., the revisions to Figures 7.3-21 and 9.4-5 in Amendment 49). We l
would appreciate it if you would provide a similar specific discussion of each modification of which to focus our review effort.
