DearDr.Murley:

Thisletteranditsattachments constitute anapplication foramendment totheTechnical Specifications (T/Ss)fortheDonaldC.CookNuclearPlantUnit2.Specifically, weproposetomodifyT/STable3.2-1(DNBParameters) suchthatthereactorcoolantsystemflowrateisexpressed onavolumetric ratherthanamassbasis.Theproposedchangeisintendedtoensuretherequirements ofthesafetyanalysesareappropriately reflected intheT/Ss.ThechangeissimilartoachangeproposedforUnit1oftheCookNuclearPlantinletterNo.AEP:NRC:1067, datedOctober14,1988.Attachment 1tothislettersummarizes thebasisfortheproposedchangeandincludesoursignificant hazardsevaluation.
