November 13, 1986 Docket No. 50-213 Mr. John F. Opeka, Senior Vice President Nuclear Engineering and Operations Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company Post Office Box 270 Hartford, Connecticut 06141-0270

SUBJECT:

OUTSTANDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISSUES Re: Haddam Neck Plant On October 30, 1986, we were informed that scheduled completion and submittal of the standard technical specification (STS) conversion for the Haddam Neck Plant has been delayed until at least April, 1987. Since the inception of the STS conversion, Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Compcny (CYAPCO) has referred commitments for the resolution of several technical specification to this effort.

In view of the most recent delay, the staff concludes that some of long standing technical specification comitments should be resolved in advance of the STS conversion effort. In particular, we request the submittal of technical specifications for all items identified in Enclosure 1 of Generic Letter 83-37 and the submittal of technical specifications on mechanical and hydraulic snubbers and degraded grid voltage protection within 60 days of receipt of this letter.

Enclosure 1 provides a more detailed description of the technical specifications I requested. Enclosure 2 identifies other technical issues from the Haddam Neck Integrated Plant Safety Assessment Report (IPSAR), NUREG-0826, for which the licensee has comitted to technical specification modifications, as part of the STS conversion effort; CYAPC0 should assure that these issues have been addressed in the STS conversion package.

Sincerely, Original; signed by: F. Akstulewicz 1

. 1 ENCLOSURE 1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TO BE SUBMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE STS CONVERSION EFFORT FOR THE HADDAM NECK PLANT

1. Enclosure 1 to Generic Letter 83-37 We note that a submittal of these technical specifications was made for Millstone Unit 2 on October 14, 1986. These include:

A. Reactor Coolant System Vents (II.B.1)

B. Post Accident Sampling (II.B.3)

C. Long Term Auxiliary Feedwater System (II.E.1.1)

D. Noble Gas Effluent Monitors (II.F.1.1)

E. Sampling and Analysis of Plant Effluents (II.F.1.2)

F. Containment High-Range Radiation Monitor (II.F.1.3)

G. Containment Pressure Monitor (II.F.1.4)

H. Containment Water Level Monitor (II.F.1.5)

I. ContainmentHydrogenMonitor(II.F.1.6)

J. Instrumentation for Inadequate Core Cooling (II.F.2)

K. Control Room Habitability (III.D.3.4)

2. Mechanical and Hydraulic Snubbers

A Generic Letter to SEP licenses on March 23, 1981 as modified by Generic Letter 84-13(5/3/84) contains model technical specifications to resolve this issue.

3. Degraded Grid Voltage Protection A technical specification submittal for degraded grid voltage protection was made in 10/81. However, in our Safety Evaluation dated 7/2/85, we concluded that the proposed T.S. did not agree with the degraded grid procedures and requested a resubmittal of Technical Specifications 3.9, 3.12, 4.2 and 4.5 to resolve the disparity.
