In May 1989, Illinois Power Company (IP)~ submitted proposed
                            ' changes to the Clinton Power Station-(CPS) Technical Specifications in                                                                                                ,

                              . parameters would be maintained in a CORE OPERATING LI'iITS REPORT that would be recognized in the Technical Specifications.but would not itself be a part of the Technical Specifications.                                              The purpose of this letter is to express IP's desire for prompt approval of the June 12, 1989                                                                                                    j submittal in anticipation of the second refueling for CPS.
IP'recently concluded the first refueling (RF-1) outage for CPS                                                                                                ;
and has scheduled the second refueling outage (RF-2) to begin February
                              -1990. Because the duration of RF-1 was extended beyond what was originally anticipated, Cycle 2 is shorter than planned with respect to                                                                                                '
fuel exposure. The reload analysis for RF-2/ Cycle 3 must thus be modified and completed with a reduced time margin between completion of the analysis and the beginning of RF-2. It will thus be difficult to obtain the results of the reload analysis significantly in advance of                                                                                                ,

                                                  'The reload analysis for RF-2/ Cycle 3 will require changes to cycle-specific parameters currently contained in the CPS Technical Specifications. Unless the changes proposed in response to Generic Letter 88-16 are approved sufficiently in advance of RF-2, IP will be required to submit proposed changes to the Technical Specifications to support RF-2/ Cycle 3 in the form of a license amendment. The NRC has typically requested six months to review and approve a reload license amendment; however, due to the current unexpectedly-short fuel cycle and the time required to complete the reload analysis, IP will not be able to submit a proposed reload license amendment more than approximately 4 months in advance of the date for startup from RF-2.      IP would prefer to process the changes required for the cycle-specific parameters by submitting a revision to the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT, providing one has been established. (Submitting a revision to the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT would not be a restraint to plant startup from RF-2.)
As noted earlier, the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications submitted in May 1989 would formally establish the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT as the document containing the cycle-specific parameters instead of the Technical Specifications.      In order to support the RF-2 schedule and preclude having to process a license amendment to support RF-2/ Cycle 3, IP respectfully requests the NRC's review and approval of those proposed Technical Specification changes submitted in June 1989 as soon as possible. Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
