Subject:

Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 l Docket Nos. 50-413 and 50-414 )

Technical Specification Amendment tu l Waiver of-Compliance  ;

Main Steam Safety Valve Setpoints

Dear Sir ,

1 This letter contains a proposed amendment to the Technical Specification.s-(TS) for Facility Operating' License Nos. NPF-35 and NPF-52 for Catawba Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. This amendment will change the allowable tolerance value for the Lift Setting of the Steam Line Safety Valves for Unit 2 in Table 3.7-2 of the TS. This change will be.in effect until the first forced outage, reactor trip, or refueling outage at which time, Catawba Unit 2 will be brought into compliance with the original TS.

Catawba' Unit 1 is already in compliance with the TS, however, it is included herein administrative 1y because both Unit's TSs are included in one document.

4 It is requested that this proposed amendment receive timely review and approval under the Emergency License Provision of 10 CFR 50.91 (a) (5).

Failure to grant the requested change will result in a forced power i

.. reduction of Catawba Unit 2 as required by Table 3.7-1 of the TS. I request a written temporary waiver of compliance until such time as t'nis proposed #

~

license amendment is approved.

The following are attached: 1) Attacament I, The Proposed Technical Specification Amendment, 2) Attachment II, The Technical Justification, i 3). Attachment III, Discussion, No Significant Hazard Analysis and 4 Environmental Impact Statement and 4) Attachment IV, A Justification fer'an Emergency Change to the Technical Specifications.

l

-Thn letter I.lso constitutes written follow-up of a request for temporary  ;

wri ar of the TS requirements of Table 3.7-2 which was made via telephone 1

.between Duke Power personnel and members of your staff on  ;

February 2, 1990. .This emergency relief from compliance with the l requirements of the TS was requested to avoid an unnecesisary forced l reduction in power for Catawba Unit 2. A verbal waiver of compliance was 1

, granted on February 2, 1990.at approximately 1300. A copy of the amended TS l

,page was submitted to the staff on February 2, 1990. The staff requested that an emergency TS change be submitted on Monday, February 5, 1990.
