Revision of Technical Specifications to Support Extended Fuel Cveles to 24 Months: Submittal #4

==Dear Commissioners and Staff:==

Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Amendment Request (LAR) 97-01 (Ref. PG&E letter DCL-97-021, dated February 14,1997) proposed changing the surveillance frequency for several Technical Specifications (TS) from at least once every 18 months to at least once per refueling interval.
Included in LAR 97-01, was a PG&E proposal to remove the words "during shutdown" from five emergency diesel generator and station battery TS in accordance with guidance provided in Generic Letter 91-04, " Changes in Technical Specification Surveillance Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month Fuel Cycle." The NRC staff recently requested that PG&E not delete the words "during shutdown" from the five proposed TS changes. This change affected                         '
items 17,20,35,36, and 37 of LAR 97-01. PG&E has reviewed the impact of this request and has determined it is acceptable to leave the words "during shutdown"in the TS for items 17,20,35,36, and 37. Item 17 affects                           f TS 4.8.1.1.1b.1) which requires that manual 4 kV vital bus transfer surveillance              I testing be done during shutdown. Manual 4 kV bus transfers are also performed                     )
during normal plant operations. For example, they are done as part of the                         l procedures for paralleling a unit to the grid, and for separating a unit from the               / I grid. PG&E has determined that performing manual 4 kV vital bus transfers during power operations, in accordance with plant procedures, is not precluded by the surveillance test requirements of TS 4.8.1.1.1b.1).
Attachment A provides marked-up replacement TS pages affected by items 17, 20,35,36, and 37 of LAR 97-01. Attachment B provides replacement TS pages affected by items 17,20,35,36, and 37 of LAR 97-01.
