The proposed technical specification change is set forth in Attachment A to this Application. A safety evaluation is set forth in Attachment B.

Attachment A Proposed Technical Specifications

l. Add Technical Specification 1.12 P

as shown on the attached page.

Fre uenc Notation The frequency notation specified for the performance of surveillance requirements shall correspond to the intervals defined below.

Notation Fre uenc S, Each Shift At least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> D, Daily At least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Twice per week At least once per 4 days and at least twice per 7 days W, Weekly At least once per 7 days B/W, Biweekly At, least once per 14 days M, Monthly At least once per 31 days B/M, Bimonthly At least once per 62 days Q, Quarterly At least once per 92 days SA, Semiannually At least once per 6 months A, Annually At least once per 12 months R, Refueling At least once per 18 months S/U Prior to each startup NA Not Applicable PROPOSED

Attachment B Safety Ev'aluation The proposed change provides clarification of the sur-veillance intervals presently in the Technical Specifications but does not change any surveillance requirements. In a limited number of cases, the precise wording for a surveillance interval is not repeated in the proposed Specification 1.12, however, it is obvious in these cases which definition applies. For example, rather than "quarterly", the words "every 3 months" or "4 times per year" may be used. In each of these cases, the definition of "at least once per 92 days" is understood to apply. As changes are proposed on pages with these alternate phrases in the future, the definitions will be brought in conformance with Specification 1.12.

The allowance to adjust a specified interval by plus or minus 25% to accommodate normal'est schedules given in Specification 4.0 continues to apply.

~ o Attachment C Fee Determination The proposed Technical Specification change is administrative in nature and has no safety or environmental significance since provides clarification of surveillance intervals but does not change it any surveillance requirement. It therefore as defined in 10 CFR Section 170.22.

is a Class II amendment.

Because this change is sub-mitted in response to a written commission request, a letter dated August 11, 1978 from Dennis L. Ziemann, is intended only to clarify the technical specifications; has minor (no) safety significance; and is for the convenience of the Commission, it is exempt from a fee in accordance with footnote 2 to 10 CFR Section 170.22.
