SUBJECT:

DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR (LACBWR)

PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE DPR-45 APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO LICENSE

REFERENCES:

(1) 10 CFR 50, Section 50.90.

(2) 10 CFR 170.12.

(3) DPC Letter, Linder to Director NRR, LAC-10135, dated August 24, 1984.

(4) Generic Letter No. 85-19, " Reporting Requirements on Primary Coolant Iodine Spikes'.

Dear Mr. Zwolinski:

Generic Letter No. 85-19, " Reporting Requirements on Primary Coolant Iodine Spikes" requests submittal of revised Technical Specifications on reporting of primary coolant iodine spikes and elimination of the 800 hour0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> per 12-month period cap for exceeding activity limits.

Therefore, Dairyland Power Cooperative requests the substitution of the attached proposed Technical Specifications for the existing specifications.

In accordance with the provisions of Reference 1, an application to amend Provisional Operating License No. DPC-45 for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor is hereby filed with three (3) signed original applications, together with thirty-seven (37) copies.

Reference 3 contained proposed Technical Specifications resulting from i the revised Licensee Event Report rule. One of the sections changed in Reference 3 was Section 4.2.2.22. This submittal also revises that section and should supercede the version in Reference 3, which has not yet been issued by the NRC.

Using the model specifications contained in the Generic Letter as a guide, we are proposing the following changes. They differ slightly from the model since our equivalent specification contains more requirements than do y standard Technical Specifications.

2.

period.

3. Remove paragraph on Reportable Occurrence reports from reactor coolant l activity specification.

4. Eliminate discussion of Special Report from reactor coolant activity specification.

5. Add section to annual report requirements. l l

6. Remove the unique limits for Cycles 6 and 7 from the reactor coolant. l activity specification, since they are no longer applicable. We will avon I be entering Cycle 11.

7. Correct a typographical error in the reactor coolant activity specification.

Attached to this submittal are the proposed revised pages.

Finding of No Significant Hazards We have reviewed the hazards considerations referenced in 10 CFR 50. Sections 91 and 92 and have determined that with these criteria, no significant hazards considerations result from this proposed amendment.

1. Operation of LACBWR in accordance with the propose <f amendment will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed change is in response to Generic Letter No. 85-19. The allowable primary coolant activity is not being changed, so the consequences of an accident will not be different. The requested revision to reporting requirements is a strictly administrative change and-cannot affect the probability or consequences of an accident. Per the Generic Letter, the requirement for a' ction if iodine activity limits are '

exceeded for 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> in a 12-month period is unnecessary, since proper fuel management and enisting reporting requirements should preclude ever approaching the liait. The same is true for offgas activity limits.

Therefore, the Frwwasc amendment will not result in a significant increase in the vyit- . lity or consequences of an accident previously-evaluated.

2. Operation of LACBWR in accordance with the proposed amendment will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

WP1.6.9 -

Mr. John A. Zwolin;ki, Dirsctor April 7, 1986 BWR Project Directorate #1 LAC-11517 The proposed change is in response to Generic Letter No. 85-19. No mode of operation or primary coolant activity limits are being changed.

Therefore, the proposed amendment will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Operation of LACBWR in accordance with the proposed amendment will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

The proposed change is in response to Generic Letter No. 85-19. The primary coolant. activity limits are not being changed. The activity limits being removed applied only to Cycles 6 and 7. As discussed in the Generic Letter, proper fuel management and existing reporting requirements should preclude 'appreaching 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> per 12-month period above normal activity limitc, so the requirements for action if 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> is exceeded is unnecessary. The same is true for 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per 6-month period. The type of report used for reporting activity above the limits does not affect the margin of safety. Excessive fuel degradation is required to be reported by 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

As determined by the analysis above, this proposed amendment has no significant hazards consideration.

The license amendment has been reviewed by the appropriate review committees.

A check for $150 accompanies this letter to cover the required application fee per Reference 2.

If there are any questions, please contact us.
