SERIAL: NLS-92-265 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTENTION: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-400/LICENSE NO. NPF-63 REQUEST FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION (LCO) ACTION REQUIREMENTS Gentlemen:

By letter dated December 28, 1990, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) requested a revision to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP). Specifically, that request would have revised the Action Requirements associated with TS 3.1.2.2, Reactivity Control Flow Paths; TS 3.1.2.4, Charging Pumps; and TS 3.7.1.1, Safety Valves. These Specifications are currently applicable in operating Modes 1, 2, and 3, but require the facility to be placed in Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) if any of the within above equipment is out of service and operability cannot be restored the time interval allowed by the TS Action Requirements. The proposed change would modify this requirement to specify that the facility must be placed in Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown), i.e., the first operating mode where the specifications do not apply.

By letter dated July 9, 1992, the NRC Staff proposed a restructuring of the Technical Specification Change Request to follow the form/structure of the new Standard Technical Specifications, as well as to add a new specification for equipment at SHNPP for which there are currently no requirements. Further, the Staff indicated that if CP&L chose not to incorporate the new standard TS format or add the TS on Atmospheric Dump Valves, the December 28, 1990 request wottld contlttu~ to be processed, but at a lower pr'ority.

Carolina Power & Light Company is a member of the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) and has participated in the development of the new STS. However, with respect to implementation of the new STS, CP&L has made no decisions on their adoption for SHNPP. Further, the new TS for Atmospheric Dump Valves is neither related to the changes or the purpose for CP&L's Request for License Amendment nor part of the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications upon which the current SHNPP Technical Specifications are based. Therefore, CP&L does not intend to adopt, as part of the pending LCO Action Requirements Request for License Amendment, the new MERITS Specification on Atmospheric Dump Valves.

Document Control Des NLS-92-265 / Page 2 In light of review already performed by the NRC, it is CP&L's expectation that the pending Request for License Amendment will receive review priority commensurate with its original submittal date and relative importance in eliminating a confusing action statement.
