Page 3-61 through 3-66. Add new Specification Section 3.15.
Page 4-55. Delete existing specificat'on 4.12 and add revised Specification Section 4.12 (pages 4-55 through 4-55e) .
Page 4-8 Change No. 8 on Table 4.1-2 as indicated on attached changed page.
Note that No.11 of Table 4.1-2 has been requested to be deleted by our Change Request No.19 (August 23, 1975).
Reasons for Proposed Change The chsnge is proposed to provide additional specifications to ensure high confid'ece that these systems will function reliably, when needed, at a high degree of efficiency.
It should be noted that this proposed change was requested by the Commissions',
Mr. George Lear, in his letter to the licensee dated December 6,1974.
This Amendment incorporates the changes agreed upon at the July 28, 1975, meeting between the NRC and Met-Ed representatives.
Test temperatures for the Control Room and Auxiliary andg Fuel Handling Building air treatment systems have been designated to be 125 F in that 1492. 086
a) testing at 130 C could result in meeting the laboratory decontamina-tion efficiency by removal of contaminants volatile at this high temperature thus providing an unrealistic carbon efficiency b) testing at 125 F provides for testing at a temperature which is realistic under accident conditions for these air treatment systems and therefore constitutes a worst case efficiency.
A test temperature of 250 F for the Reector Building Purgo Air Treatment System has been designated to provide a test temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Safety Analysis Justifying Change, The change reflects additional and more stringent requirements than those currently existing. The change does not involve a significant hazards consideration nor an unrevieved safety question and will not cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

Bases 1492 0g0, The emergency control room air treatment systems AH-E18A and 18B and their associated filters are two independent systems designed to filter the control room atmosphere for intake air and/or for recirculation during control room isolation conditions. The control building is designed to be automatically placed in the recirculation mode upon an RM-Al high radiation alarm, air tunnel device actuation, ESAS actuation or station blackout condition. The emergency control room air treatment fan and filter AH-E18A or B and AH-E3A or B is designed to be manually started by the operator if a high radiation alarm from RM-Al is indicated.
3-61
Prefilters and high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filters are installed before the charcoal absorbers to prevent clogging of the iodine absorbers and remove particulate activity. The charcoal absorbers are installed to reduce the potential intake of radioiodine to the control room. If the efficiencies of the HEPA filters and charcoal absorbers are as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the allowable levels stated in Criterion 19 of the General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Ple *.s, Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. Operation of the fans significantly
/,1fferent from the design flow will change the removal efficiency of the HEPA filters and charcoal absorbers.
If one system is found to be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the control room and reactor operation may continue for a limited period of time while repairs are being made. If the syste=
cannot be repaired within thirty days, the reactor is shutdown and brought to cold shutdown within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.

3.15.2.3 a. From and af ter the date that the filter AH-F1 in the reactor building purge system is made or found to be inoperable as defined by Specification 3.15.2.2 above, or both fans AH-E7A and B are found to be inoperable, reactor operation is permissible only during the succeeding thirty days, unless such ffiter and at least one fan is sooner made operable.
- b. If the required conditions for the reactor building purge filter and fan cannot be met af ter 30 days, operations shall be terminated immediately and the reactor placed in cold ahutdown within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.
Bases The Reactor Building Purge Exhaust system filter AH-F1 while normally used to filter all reactor building exhaust air, serves also as the post accident purge filter when used in conjunction with the Hydrogen Purge System to reduce hydrogen gas concentrations in the reactor building following a LOCA. It is necessary to demonstrate operability of these filters to assure readiness for service if required, approximately thirty (30) days following a hypothetical LOCA.
1492 092
High efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filters are installed before the charcoal absorbers to prevent clogging of the iodine absorbers for all emergency air treatment systems. The charcoal absorbers are installed to reduce the potential release of radioiodine to the environment.
If the efficiencies of the HEPA filters and charcoal absorbers are as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the 10 CFR 100 guidelines for the accident analyzed in FSAR Supplement 1 Part III, which assumes 90% efficiency.
The flow through AH-F1 by design can vary from O CFM to 50,000 CFM, the maximum purge flow rate, with make-up air being provided between the filter AH-F1 and the fans AH-E7A and B to maintain a constant reactor building purge exhaust stack flow rate of 50,000 CFM regardless of the actual purge flow.
