NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-220]
Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit
No. 1; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to
Facility Operating License
The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission)
has granted the request by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC)
to withdraw a portion of their July 21, 1994, application, for a
proposed amendment to Facility Operating License DPR-63 for the Nine
Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No. 1, located in Oswego County, New
York.
The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specifications
(TSs) 2.1.2 (Fuel Cladding Integrity), 3.1.7 (Fuel Rods), 3.6.2/4.6.2
(Protective Instrumentation), and the associated Bases to allow the use
of Range 10 on the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux Monitors (IRMs) with
the Reactor Protection System low pressure trip for main steam line
isolation valve closure not in bypass. Changes were also proposed to TS
Tables 3.6.2.a/4.6.2a (Instrumentation that Initiates Scram) and TS
Tables 3.6.2g/4.6.2g (Instrumentation that Initiates Control Rod
Withdrawal Block) to extend the calibration frequency of the Source
Range Neutron Flux Monitors (SRMs) and the IRMs from prior to startup
and shutdown to once per operating cycle. The proposed change would
have also changed the Instrument Channel Test interval for the SRMs and
IRMs from prior to startup and shutdown to once per week. Associated
changes to TSs Setpoints, Bases, References, and Notes for TSs 2.1.2,
3.1.7, and 3.6.2/4.6.2 were also proposed.
By letter dated February 1, 1995, NMPC requested to withdraw that
portion of the proposed amendment associated with the extension of the
calibration frequency for the SRMs and IRMs.
The Commission has previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License, Proposed No
Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, and Opportunity for a
Hearing which was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 1994
(59 FR 45028).
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated July 21, 1994, as supplemented on
December 5, 1994, December 14, 1994, and January 11, 1995, and the
licensee's letter dated February 1, 1995, which withdrew the portion of
the application for license amendment associated with the extension of
the calibration frequency for the SRMs and IRMs. The above documents
are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document
Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public
document room located at Reference and Documents Department, Penfield
Library, State University of New York, Oswego, New York.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March 1995.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Donald S. Brinkman,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate I-1, Division of Reactor
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
