Docket Nos.: 50 50 348 364 NL-08-0510 U. S. Nuclear ATTN: Docum Washington, D. C.
ent Reg Control Desk 20555-0001 ulatory Commission Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specification Amendment Request Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated November 5, 2007 Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) proposed a change to the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TS). This proposed change will revise TS section 5.5.17, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," to resolve a timing conflict between the FNP Unit 2 R20 refueling outage schedule and the FNP Unit 2 Type A Containment Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) required completion date of March 2010. Although Unit 1 does not have a current timing conflict, a similar Unit 1 change is proposed for consistency.
SNC proposed to modify Technical Specification 5.5.17 to state "Section 9.2.3:
The next Type A test, after the March 1994 test for Unit 1 and the March 1995 test for Unit 2, shall be performed during refueling outage R22 (Spring 2009) for Unit 1 and during refueling outage R20 (Spring 2010) for Unit 2. This is a one time exception."
Based on discussions between SNC and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on March 19, 2008, SNC is providing dates for the Unit 1 Spring 2009 and Unit 2 Spring 2010 refueling outages. These outages will start no later than April 18.
2009 for the Unit 1 Spring 2009 refueling outage and April 24, 2010 for the Unit 2 Spring 2010 refueling outage.
