S ction I - Deccription of th9 Chenann ,

Table 3.6-lb-(page 156r, " Safety Related Mechanical Snubbers")

has been revised to incorporate a minor renumbering of the snubbers and the addition of a sixteenth snubber.

Figure 6.2-1, " Plant Staff Organization" on page 260 is updated to show that the Security and Safety Superintendent has responsibility for performance and monitoring of the fire protection program, in accordance with our previous commitment.

4 i

Section 4.11.B (page 239, " Crescent Area Ventilation") is revised to require that unit coolers serving ECCS components are checked for operability once per three months, rather.than during

! the surveillance testing of the associated pumps, as currently

! required.

In Section 6.5.2.8(e) on page 252a, the audit frequency for emergency preparedness and safeguards contingency plans is revised to agree with the requirements of parts 73.40(d) and 50.54(t) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Section II - Purpose of the Changes The changes to Table 3.6-lb will update this list of safety related snubbers to include a new, sixteenth unit. In addition, one of the snubber numbers has been changed for clarity. (Please note that this same page was changed in a previous amendment application dated July 13, 1981. As of this date, this application amendment i

has not been issued by the Commission. The page included in Attachment II of this application supercedes the previously submitted page.)

One of the two changes to Figure 6.2-1 incorpcrates an existing NRC commitment into the FitzPatrick Technical Specifications regarding the Security and Safety Superintendent's job function.

The second changes the " Training Coordinator" block to read

" Training Superintendent and Staff" to agree with current Authority organization and titles.

The current Section 4.11.B (Crescent Area Ventilation) requires excessive testing, is inconsistent with ALARA and does not improve reliability. The proposed test frequency (once every 3 months) corresponds to the frequency stated in the Inservice Inspection Valve Test Program for unit cooler temperature control valves. The present specification results in several tests of unit coolers each month.. This is because current specifications require unit cooler tests with each LPCI, Core Spray and HPCI operability and flow rate test. Personnel performing this testing are therefore required to l

spend additional time in the radiation areas in which these unit I coolers are located. Furthermore, there are heat loads in the i f crescent areas which require that these unit coolers function to l

maintain normal temperatures. These heat loads include ambient

1 (wcra woathar) courcso, continuously heated stson supply linsa to HPCI and RCIC,.and non-emergency operation of ECCS components (e.g.

for surveillance testing, shutdown cooling or suppression pool cooling and level maintenance.) Thus, crescent area temperature provides a continuous indication of unit coolers operability. A

quarterly surveillance test adequately ensures reliability.

i In Section 6.5.2.8(e) (page 252a), the audit frequencies for emergency preparedness and safeguards contingency plans 1 (References f and g) are revised to agree with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 50.54(t) 73.40(d), respectively. We were notified of the need for this change via Reference f and g.

l This is clarifying, and made at the request of the Commission.

! Section III - Impact of the Changes Figure 6.2-1 and Table 3.6-lb will be updated to reflect changes already in effect at FitzPatrick and therefore will not impact plant operation.

The reduced surveillance testing required by Section 4.11.B will reduce personnel radiation exposure while maintaining a high level of reliability and operability for these unit coolers.

These changes will not have any impact on the environment. The changes as proposed will not impact the Fira Protection Program at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear-Power Plant.

Section IV - Implementation of the Change I

Reduced personnel radiation exposure will result from reduced surveillance test requirements.

Section V - Conclusion The incorporation of these changes: a) will not change the

, probability nor the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety as previously evaluated in the Safety Analysis Report; b) will not increase the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report; and c) will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification; and d) does not constitute an unreviewed safety question.
