4 BEFORE THE UNITED STATES

, NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION in the matter of ) ,

NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY ) Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant )  ;

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE '

The New York Power Authority requests an amendment to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A to Facility Operating License DPR-59 for the James A.

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This application is filed in accordance with Section 10 CFR 50.90 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulation.

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications proposes a change to eliminate an inconsistency between the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) leakage detection and operability requirements in Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) 3.6.D.1 and 3.6.D.4.

LCO 3.6.D.1 currentii requires that RCS leakage be below specified limits when there is irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel and reactor coolant temperature is greater than 212*F. LCO 3.6.D.4 requires the leakage monitoring systems to be operable during power operation (i.e., when the mode switch is in the Startup/ Hot Standby position or the Run position with the reactor critical above 1 percent rated power, as defined per -

Specification 1.0.0). These two LCOs are not consistent. The proposed revision of .

LCO 3.6.D.4 will take the more conservative approach of requiring the leakage  !

monitoring systems to be operable when the leakage limits of LCO 3.6.D.1 are in effect. ,

The proposed changes also make editorial corrections which are considored administrative in nature. These will improve the overall quality and consistency within the Technical Specifications.

The proposed change to the Technical Specifications is Attachment I to this Application for Amendment to the Operating License. The Safety Evaluation for the proposed change is included as Attachment 11. A markup of the affected Technical Specifcation pages is included as Attachment Ill.
