reactor coolant system.(RCS). : %ese proposed changes provide heatup and- -

cooldown curves applicable to the first 14 EFPY for the-reactor and are.

based on the analysis of surveillance capsule X which was removed from the?

Unit 2 vessel after approximately 6.41 ETPY. L%e analysis of Capsule-X is documented by WCAP-12471, titled " Analysis of Capsule X from the Alabama

Attachment:

1. %ese changes are-required to allow opere w.n of Farley Unit 2-beyond the-8 EFPY limit of the existing heatup and cooldown curves. Operation of Unit'2 of- 1 the Parley Nuclear Plant could reach the 8 EFPY limitation'of the existing" I curves as early as March 23, 1991. Attachment 2 contains the requiredL significant hazards analysis pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92., Based on the analysis provided, Alabama Power Company has determined that the proposed?

changes to the technical specifications will not-involve a'significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously -,

evaluated, create the possibility of a new or different kind of'hecident1 '

from any accident previously evaluated, or involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The Plant Operations Review Committee has' reviewed these proposed changes- l and the Nuclear Operations Review Board will review these proposed changes at a future meeting. NRC approval'of these. proposed changes is requested '
