Subject:
Waterford 3 SES Docket No. 50-382 License No. NPF-38 Additional Information Regarding Technical Specification Change Request NPF-38-193 Gentlemen:
By letter dated March 27. i997, and supplemented by letters dated April 3,1997, July 21,1997, October 23,1997, November 13,1997, December 12,1997, January 21,1998, January 29,1998, March 23,1998, May 1,1998, May 19,1998, May 21,1998 and May 28,1998, Waterford 3 proposed to amend Operating License NPF-38 to increase spent fuel storage capacity and increase the maximum fuel enrichment. The purpose of this submittalis to add a footnote to Technical Specification (TS) Refueling Operations, Surveillance R.equirement 4.9.7.2, to effect a limited deviation to allow the crane main hook electrical interlocks to be replaced with administrative controls during the implementation of the spent fuel storage
/
capacity increase modification.'.. The original TS change request (W3F1-97-0061, dated March 27,1997) described the implementation of the spent fuel pool stort ge
/
capacity increase modification in detail, but did not explicitly address the need te
- actually bypass the crane main hook electrical interlocks in order to remove the existing racks and install the new racks.
/
1 The replacement with administrative controls of the crane main hook electrical
)
interlocks does not affect the previously provided determination of no significant I
hazards. The use of administrative controls 6iscussed in prior submittals (i.e., page 3-5 of HI-971628 submitted with W3F1-97-0061, dated March 27,1997 and page 16

June 12,' 1998 of W3F1-97-0258, dated Ncvember 13,1997) combined with the provisions of TS LCO 3.9.7.b provides adequate assurance of prevention of lifting heavy loads over -
spent fuel assemblies.
. Enclosed are three attachments to support your review of the proposed supplemental technical specification change. At+achment 1 is a copy of the affected page as it currently exists in the Waterford 3 Technical Specifications. Attachment 2
. is a mark-up of the affected page showing the changes previously requested plus the addition proposed by this supplement. Attachment 3 is a clean version of this page representing how this page will look when issued.
This letter also provides notice that the following procedural requirements associated with the license amendment request are implemented:
- 1.. RF-002-001, Refuel Receipt, was changed to ensure that the gates will not be installed when spent fuel is present in the Cask Storage pit and/or the Refueling Canal.-
2.' OP-500-008, Annunicator Response Procedure Control Room Cabinet H, requires that for faulted (one spent fuel cooling pump) operation, fuel movement will be suspended.
- 3. 'OP-901-513, Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Malfunction, requires for one spent fuel
. cooling pump operable or the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) temperature reaching 135 F that spent fuel movement be suspended and the frequency of monitoring SFP temperature be increased.
- 4. OP-002-006, Fuel Pool Cooling and Purification (Limitations and Caution sections),~ was changed to address the administrative limits that correspond to the
. increased. spent fuel storage capacity. The procedure revisions indicate that the Back-up Spent Fuel Pool Heat Exchanger is not sufficient to handle the Spent Fuel Pool heat load during a full core offload; with the Back-up Fuel Pool Heat
. Exchanger in service, a heat load calculation must be performed prior to commencing s partial core offload; and, the calculated Spent Fuel Pool heat load, for placing the Back-up Fuel Pool Heat Exchanges into service, should not
- exceed 15.3 x 10 sm/ r..
