Mr. H. B. Tucker Vice President- Steam Production

Station, Units Nos. 1, 2 and 3. These amendments consist of changes to the Station's common Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your request dated February 9, 1983, as supplemented by submittals dated February 28, 1983, and April 28, 1983. The amendments revise the TSs principally to incorporate changes to the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) in order to bring them into compliance with Appendix I of 10 CFR Part 50 as well as meeting other regulations pertinent to radioactive waste management. As discussed with and agreed to by your staff on January 5, 1984, you are required to submit within 90 days of receipt of this letter a proposed TS addressing explosive gas limitations and monitoring for our review pending completion of the ongoing Duke Waste Gas Study, as discussed in the enclosed Safety Evaluation. We urge and encourage you to exert every effort to complete the remaining evaluations associated with this study and to forward your submittal, as agreed to in the August 18-19, 1982 meeting, to us at the earliest opportunity. A copy of our Safety Evaluation and also a copy of the Technical Evaluatio
