Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SECTIONS 3/4.8.1 1 FOR ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS

~

This letter and "its attachments constitute an application for amendment to the technical specifications,(T/Ss) for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant units 1 and 2. Specifically, we are proposing to modify Table 4.8-1, Diesel Generator Test Schedule, by referencing Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 rather than Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1 criteria for the determination of a valid diesel generator test.

Attachment 1 provides a detailed description of the proposed changes, the justification for the changes, and our determination of no significant hazards consideration performed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92. Attachment 2 contains the existing T/S pages marked to reflect the proposed changes. Attachment 3 contains the proposed T/S pages.

We believe the proposed changes will not result in (1) a significant change in the types of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (2) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

These proposed changes have been reviewed by the Plant Nuclear Safety Review Committee and the Nuclear Safety and Design Review Committee.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP:NRC:1243 DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION OF CHANGES 10 CFR 50.92 ANALYSIS FOR CHANGES TO THE DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP:NRC:1243 Page 1 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES The proposed amendment to Technical Specification (T/S) 3/4.8.1.1 makes the following specific change to the Cook Nuclear Plant units 1 and 2 T/S:

Revises a footnote in Table 4.8-1 to read as follows:

Criteria for determining number of failures and valid tests shall be in accordance with Regulatory Position C.2.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3, where the number of tests and failures is determined on a per diesel generator basis. For the purposes of this test schedule, only valid tests conducted after the OL issuance date shall be included in the computation of the "last 20 valid tests."

II. JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES The proposed revision to the T/S is based on the fact that Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 has incorporated the pertinent guidance previously addressed in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.108, and, being a more recent document, better reflects the NRC requirements regarding diesel it generator testing.

IIX. 10 CFR 50 92 CRITERIA Per 10 50.92, proposed changes not involve a if the dochanges CFR significant hazards consideration do not:

involve a significant increase in the probability of consequences of an accident previously evaluated,

2. create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or

3. involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety Criterion 1 This amendment request does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because the proposed change to the T/S does not affect the assumptions, parameters, or results of any UFSAR accident analysis. The proposed amendment does not modify any existing equipment, and the proposed acceptance criteria for diesel generator testing will conform to NRC guidance. Based on these considerations, it is concluded that the changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP'NRC'1243 Page 2 Criter on The proposed changes do not involve physical changes to the plant or changes in plant operating configuration. The proposed changes update guidance for diesel generator testing. Thus, it is concluded that the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Crite ion 3 The proposed changes update guidance for the testing of diesel generators. The guidance is endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.9, and compliance with this guidance will ensure the operability of the diesel generators. Thus, there is no significant reduction in the margin of safety.
