Dear Mr. Kingsley:

1 By letter dated October 29,1998. Commonwealth Edison Company (Comed, the licensee) '

submitted a change to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30, Appendix A - i Technical Specifications (TS) Gases Sections 3/4.2.D, " Reactor Core isolation Coo... g l Actuation Instrumentation" a:id 3/4.5.D, " Reactor Core Isolation Cooling." The licensee made administrative changes to '.hese base! sections to provide clarity and consistency with the i system design descripticas provided in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)

Sections 5.4.6.

l This change clearly reiterates statements from the UFSAR that the Reactor Core isolation

. Cooling system (RCIC) provides cooling water to the core to a postulated isolated reactor with the loss of the feedwater system. The RCIC system can be manually started as well as being ,

automatically initiated upon a reactor vessel low-low water level signal in a one-out-of-two taken twice logic scheme. {

l l These changes provide clarity to Bases Sections 3/4.2.D and 3/4.5.D and consistency with the l UFSAR. The staff has no objections to this Bases change.
