o 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-483 DENIAL 0F AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) has denied a re-quest by the licensee for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-30, issued to the Union Electric Company (the licensee) for operation of the Callaway Plant, Unit No.1 (the facility), located in Callaway County, Missouri.

The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 4.6.1.2 and its associated bases regarding containment leakage surveillance requirements to provide clarifications on the leak rate testing of valves pressurized with fluid from a seal system. The amendment would have permitted local leak rate testing of certain containment isolation valves using water instead of air as required by Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50. Notice of consideration of issuance of this amendment was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on September 11, 1985 (50 FR 37091). The licensee's application for the amendment was dated July 17, 1984, and supplemented October 3, 1984.

The request was found unacceptable since the water inventory of the pro-posed passive seal water system could not be assured and could not be monitored and replenished following accidents. Therefore, the proposed passive seal system could not perform the needed function of a seal system as required by Appendix J.

The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of this request by letter dated July 23, 1986.
