OYSTEP CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-16 DOCKET N0. 50-219 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST NO.152 Applicant hereby requests the Commission to change Appendix A of the license.

Also, pursuant to 10CFR50.91, an analysis concerning significant hazards considerations is presented:

1.

Sections to be Changed:

3.1, 3.13, 4.1 and 4.13 2.

Extent of Change:

The subject change request incorporates the containment high range radiation monitoring capabilities into the accident monitoring instrumentation requirements of Section 3.13 and 4.13.

In addition, the request incorporates the containment vent and purge isolation function into the protective instrumentation requirements of Section 3.1 and 4.1.

3.

Changes Requested:

The requested changes are as indicated in the attached revised Technical Specification pages 3.1-7, 3.5-13, 3.13-3, 3.13-4, 4.1-8, 4.1-9, 4.13-1, 4.13-2 and new proposed pages 3.1-15a and 3.13-3a.

4.

Discussion NUREG 0737 Items II.F.1.3 and II.E.4.2.7 require the Qyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station to develop the capability to monitor high radiation levels in containment and to isolate the containment vent and purge valves upon drywell high' radiation levels. TSCR #152 is provided in response to Generic Letter 83-36 which identified technical specification requirements.

The containment high range radiation monitoring system will provide the operator with the capability to monitor radiation levels while the isolation of containment vent and purge valves upon drywell high radiation levels will prevent releases from exceeding ten percent of the dose guideline values allowed by 10CFR100.

4 5.

Determination:

GPU Nuclear has determined that operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in accordance with the proposed technical specifications does not involve a significant hazard. The change does not:

1.

Involve an increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The containment high range radiation monitoring system provides a monitoring function only, existing plant response is unal tered. With respect to the isolation of the containment vent and purge valves upon drywell high radiation, the safety function of these valves and their isolation setpoints of high drywell pressure and low-low reactor water level are unchanged.

Isolation of these valves upon drywell high radiation provides greater assurance that releases are within acceptable limits and does not affect any plant safety systems other than containment vent and purge valves.

2.

Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The containment high range radiation monitoring system provides a monitoring function only, existing plant response is unaltered.

Isolation of the containment vent and purge valves upon drywell high radiation will be in addition and subsequent to the existing isolation signals.

It will not alter the initial plant response to a LOCA, but rather provide greater assurance that releases are within acceptable limits.

3.

Involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety. The containment high range monitoring system provides a monitoring function only, existing plant response is unaltered.

Isolation of the drywell vent and purge valves upon drywell high radiation will enhance the margin of safety by providing greater assurance that releases are within acceptable limits.
