Alabama 35201 Tellphons (205) 868-5131 h k Dave Morey Vice President Southern Nudear Operating Company Farley Project September 16, 1996 e somem decmc vstem Docket No.: 50-364 10 CFR 50.90 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Joseph hi. Farley Nuclear Plant - Unit 2 Steam Generator Technical Specification Pages Ladies and Gentlemen:

By letter dated hiay 20,1996, the NRC issued amendment 110 to the Farley Unit 2 Technical Specifications. This exigent amendment allowed steam generator tubes to remain in service with bands of axial degradation in the tube sheet region for the remainder of Cycle 11 provided suflicient non-degraded tubing remained to satisfy the L*-type criteria restrictions. Since the amendment was cycle-specific for Cycle 11 only, a Southern Nuclear letter dated August 30, 1996 requested an administrative change to the Farley Unit 2 Technical Specifications to delete the references to the cycle-specific L* criteria. However, in order to clarify the requested changes, this letter supersedes the August 30 requests and provides additional clarification.

Currently, the following Farley Unit 2 Technical Specification amendment requests have been submitted to the NRC Staff:

1. ODSCC Alternate Repair SNC letter dated hiarch 29,1996 Criteria

2. F* Repair Criteria SNC letter dated April 22,1996 as revised by letter dated hiay 3,1996

3. L* Repair Criteria SNC letter dated April 7.2,1996 Note: A current RAI will require revision to the proposed technical speci'ication pages. i

4. Elevated Tube Sheet Sleeve SNC letter dated August 23,1996 The first three amendments listed were all submitted prior to submittal of the cycle-specific L*

amendment. Consequently, the technical specificatien pages forwarded with those amendment requests require revision to reflect the cycle-specific L* amendment. Since the first two 3 amendments listed above may be approved prior to shutting down for the next Unit 2 refu outage, revised technical specification pages which include the cycle-specific L* amendment are included in Attachments 1 and 2 for both the ODSCC alternate repair criteria and the F*

5 repair criteria. t 9609230029 960916 PDR ADOCK 05000364 P PDR

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 Attachment 3 provides technical specification pages for the permanent L* repair criteria. The  :

marked-up pages also reflect the deletion of the cycle-specific L* repair criteria. Removal of l the cycle-specific L* repair criteria, which expire at the start of the next Unit 2 refueling outage, does not affect the conclusions of the significant hazards evaluation which was provided with the original L* submittal. These technical specification changes also include suggested wording changes contained in the NRC Staff s request for additional information concerning L* contained in a letter dated August 12,1996.

Attachment 4 contains technical specification pages associated with the elevated tubesheet laser welded sleeve technical specification amendment request. The cycle-specific L*

amendment is not included in this amendment. Additionally, the date of the Southern Nuclear submittal has been included where appropriate in the technical specification pages. This date was inadvertently left offin the original submittal.

In the attachments, if a change is to a previously issued technical specification page, the changes are indicated by pen and ink markups. If the change is to a proposed amendment that has not been issued, the changes are in bold, italics on the technical specification page.

If there are any questions, please advise.
