Clinton Power Station Proposed Amendment to                    i Facility Operating License NPF-62

==Dear Sir:==
Pursuant to 10CFR50.90, Illinois Power Company (IP) hereby applies for an amendment of Facility Operating License NPF-62 Clinton Power Station (CPS). Changes to the CPS Technical Specifications are being requested to support the first refueling of the CPS reactor with new fuel types                   -
and to support subsequent reactor operation (Cycle 2) in the                 l Maximum Extended Operating Domain (&70D) and with reduced feedwater temperatures.* To support these requests the following attachments are included:
Attachment 1 - Affidavit Attachment 2 - Description of Proposed Technical Specification Changes Related to the Reload and                i MEOD Analyses (including mark-ups of the affected Technical Specifications)
At- chment 3 - Technical Specification Changes                  l Required to Support Refueling                                   i
* Attachment 4 - Technical Specification Changes Re uired to Support Operation Consistent with the
                                          "! IMUM EXTENDED OPERATIN) DOMAIN AND FEEDWATER                 i HEATER OUT-OF-SERVICE ANALYSIS FOR CLINTON POWER               l STATION" (MEOD/FWHOS)*
* An analysis which justifies reactor operation with reduced feedwater temperature as low as 370*F at rated conditions (included in Attachment 4) was performed in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.1 of Supplement No. 7 to the Clinton Safety Evaluation Report.
Amproval of this proposed license amendment containing the analysis for reduced feedwater temperature will require revision or deletion of License Condition 2.C.(10) in the Clinton Power Station Operating License asthelicensoconditionwasrequiredinaccordancewith[f9Pj Section 15.1 of SSER 7 eso91201o7 eso906                                    s/t p DR     ADOCK0500gg61

Attachment 5 - Basis for No Significant Hazards Consideration (for the Technical Specification Changes Proposed as a Result of Operation with New Fuel Types and in the MEOD Region)
Attachment 6     "SUPPLEMENTAL RELOAD LICENSING SUBMITTAL FOR CLINTON POWER STATION UNIT 1, RELOAD 1, CYCLE 2, 23A5921 Rev. 0" Attachment 7     "MAXIMUM EXTENDED OPERATING DOMAIN AND FEEDWATER HEATER OUT-OF-SERVICE ANALYSIS FOR CLINTON POWER STATION, NEDC-31546P, August 1988"*
Attachment 8 - Proposed Startup Test Plan for Cycle 2 This proposed amendment also requests revision to Technien1 Specification Table 3.3.7.4-2, REMOTE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM CONTROLS, to include additional control switches for valves lE12-F068B and lE12-F014B and circuit breaker 252-ATlAA1. This change provides for controls to enhance the operation of the subject components to comply with the NRC Staffs' guidance for implementing 10CFR50, Appendix A, Criterion 19 (GDC 19) as referenced in paragraph 7.4.3.1 of the Clinton Power Station Safety Evaluation Report (SSER NO.
6). The Description, Justification and Basis for No Significant Hazards Consideration for this change are contained in Attachment 9.
Additionally a change to Technical Specification 4.4.1.2 is requested. This change will clarify the jet pump surveillance requirements of this specification and incorporate the guidance provided in General Electric Service Information Letter No. 330.       The Description, Justification and Basis for No Significant Hazards Consideration for this proposed changa are contained in Attachment 10.
In accordance with the provisions of 10CFR170.12 and 170.21, IP is enclosing a check made out to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the amount of $150.00 as payment of the application fee for this amendment.       In addition, pursuant to 10CFR50.91(b)(1), a copy of this request for amendment has been sent to the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety.
* Attachment 7 is proprietary and was provided to IP from Genercl Electric under the terms of an agreement which forbids disclosura to others except as allowed for disclosure to a governmental authority to the extent necessary to secure governmental authorizations.

U-601239 L47-88(0? 06 )-LP 8E.110 IP has reviewed the proposed Technical Specification changes against the criteria of 10CFR51.22 for environmental considerations. The proposed changes do not involve a              >
significant hazards consideration, do not significantly            i increase the amounts or change the types of effluents that may be released offsite, nor do they significantly increase individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposures.
Based on the foregoing, IP concludes that the proposed Technical Specification changes meet the criteria given in 10CFR51.22(c)(9) for a categorical exclusion from the requirement for an Environmental Impact Statement,                 i It is IP's intent to implement the proposed changes for Cycle 2 commencing with the startup from the first refueling       i outage. Therefore, to supaort Cycle 2 startu      NRC review    i and approval is requested by January 3, 1989,p,he  t  scheduled    !
start date for the outage.
