REASON FOR CHANGE _

This change to the Technical Specif) cations is proposed to provide an operational flexibility and to utilice the scheduled refueling outage ' for the periodic surveillance requirement of the full-length (shutdren and control) rod drop. times. This Technical Specification Change vill be 1 applicable only to this surveillance interval. and will not affect the l future surveillance' requirements. 7 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE 1

Section 4.1.3.3 of the Technical Specifications (Page 3/4 1-21) requires  ;

the boa drop time of full-length rods to be demonstrated through measurement ]

prior to reactor criticality at least once' per 18 months. _ Section 4.0.2, l Applicability of Surveillance Requirements (Page 3/4 0-1), allows the {

surveillance interval to be extended beyond the specified time as long as the extension does not exceed 25 percent of the specif'ed surveillance interval.

l l It is requested that this surveillance interval be changed on a single occasion at this time to allow an extension of 2 additional days to complete the scheduled Plant surveillance tast. The increase would be 18 months plus 4.5 months (25 percent) and 2 days. or until midnight April 11,1980.

SAFETY EVALUATION l

1 The time extension proposed in this change for rod drop time surveillance  !

is less than 0.3 percent of the maximus'ellowable time intertal in the Technical Specifications. l The individual full-length rod drop times from j the fully withdrewn position hei.1 been within the Technical Specification .

limit at Trojac. The probability of this change affecting the rod drop 1 time is extremely remote. j l

Based upon the above considerecions, another 2 days, e.g., shutting down l on April 11 vs. fpril 9, is essentially insignificant and would be I inconsequential from a safety viewpoint. Therefore, it can be concluded i that there would be no change in the probcbtlity or consequences of _{

accidents previously considered and no new accidents would be created. j The margin of safety would not be decreased. This change does not '

involve an unreviewed safety question.

EFFECT ON FSAR This change does not require any changes in the existing FSAR. j i

i ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION l

l The proposed Technical Specification change has no effect on the environ- l ment, the Final Environmental Report or the F1nal Environmental Statement  !

and does not involve an unreviewed environmental question. I l
