Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation ) Docket No 50 244 (R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, )
Unit No. 1) )
APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE Pursuant to Section 50.90 of the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "Commission" ), Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation ("RG&E"), holder of Provisional Operating License No.
DPR-18, hereby requests that Sections 3.1.4 and 4.1 be revised in the Technical Specifications set forth in Appendix A to that license. This request for a change in Technical Specifications is submitted in response to a letter dated September 24, 1981 from Mr. Dennis M. Crutchfield, Chief, Operating Reactors Branch No. 5 regarding reactor coolant system iodine activity The proposed technical specification change is set forth in Attachment A to this Application. A safety evaluation is set forth in Attachment B. This evaluation also demonstrates that the proposed change does not involve a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of effluents or any change in the authorized power level of the facility.
The proposed changes have been clearly identified as an NRC position in the NRC's Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse plants. Therefore a fee of $ 4,000 is required.

Attachment A 1 ~ Revise the Technical Specifications by replacing the following pages: 3.1-21,'.1-22, 3.1-23, 3.1-24, 4.1-8, 4.1-9, 4.1 2. Add page 4.1-12.
Maximum Coolant Activit S ecifications:
Whenever the reactor is critical or the reactor coolant average temperature is greater than 500oF:
- a. The total specific activity of the reactor coolant shall not exceed 84/EpCi/gm, where E is the average beta and gamma energies per disintegration in Mev.
- b. The I-131 equivalent of the iodine activity in the reactor coolant shall not exceed 1.0ju:i/gm.
cd The I-131 equivalent of the iodine activity on the secondary side of a steam generator shall not exceed 0 l~Ci/gm.
~
If the limit of 3.1.4.l.a is exceeded, then be subcritical with reactor coolant average temperature less than 500 F within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
a ~ If the I-131 equivalent activity in the reactor coolant exceeds the limit of 3 '.4.l.b but is less than the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.1.4-1, operation may continue for up to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> provided that the cumulative operating time under these circumstances does not exceed 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> in any consecutive 12-month period.
If the I-131 equivalent activity in the reactor coolant exceeds the limit of 3.1.4 '.b for more than 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> in any consecutive 6-month period, 3 '-21 Amendment No ~ 8,rX8
then prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2 within 30 days indicating the number of hours above this limit. The reactor may be taken critical or reactor coolant average temperature may be increased above a 500 F with the I-131 equivalent activity greater than the limit of 3.1.4.l.b as long as the provisions of this paragraph are met.
- b. If the I-131 equivalent activity exceeds the
'
limit of 3.1.4.1.b for more than 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> during one continuous time interval or exceeds the limit shown on Figure 3.1.4-1, be subcritical with reactor coolant average temperature less than 500oF within 8 hours.
c ~ If the I-131 equivalent activity exceeds the limit of 3.1.4.l.b, then perform sampling and analysis as required by Table 4.1-4, item 4a, until the activity is reduced to less than the limit of 3.1 4-1.b.
~
3-1.4.4 If the limit of 3.1.4.1."c is exceeded, then be at hot shutdown within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and in cold shutdown within the following 32 hours3.703704e-4 days <br />0.00889 hours <br />5.291005e-5 weeks <br />1.2176e-5 months <br />.
Basis:
The total activity limit for the primary system corresponds to operation with the plant design basis of 1% fuel defects.
Radiation shielding and the radioactive waste disposal systems 3 '-22 Amendment No. g5
were designed for operation with 1% defects . The limit for secondary iodine activity is conservatively established with
,respect to the limits on primary system iodine activity and primary-to-secondary leakage (Specification 3.1.5.2). If the activity should exceed the specified limits following a power transient the major concern would be whether additional fuel defects had developed bringing the total to above 1% defects.
Appropriate action to be taken to bring the activity within specification include one or more of the following: gradual decrease in power to a lower base power, increase in letdown flow rate, and venting of the volume control tank gases to the gas decay tanks.
The specified activity limits provide protection to the public against the potential release of reactor coolant activity to the atmosphere, as demonstrated by the analysis of a steam generator tube'upture accident. (3)
The 500 F temperature in the specification corresponds at saturation to 681 psia, which is below the set point of the secondary side relief valves. Therefore, potential primary to secondary leakage at a temperature below 500 F can be contained by closing the steam line isolation valves.

Attachment B The Technical Specification limits for reactor coolant system I-131 equivalent activity and for coolant activity sampling have been revised to be consistent with the NRC's Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse-designed plants. The activity limits are .conservative with respect to the assumptions used in the NRC's analysis of a steam generator tube rupture event which was provided to RGGE by letter dated September 24, 1981.
