SUBJECT:

R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - AMENDMENT RE: IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FORMATING CHANGE AND REVISION TO 10 CFR 50.59 (TAC NO. MB1 184)

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 80 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-1 8 for the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. This amendment is in response to your application dated February 14, 2001.

The amendment makes minor revisions in the Ginna Station Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) format to allow for maintaining, viewing, and publishing them with a different software package. The amendment also includes a revision to ITS Section 5.5.13, "Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Program," to provide consistency with the changes to 10 CFR 50.59 as published in the Federal Register (64 FR 53852) dated October 4, 1999.

A copy of the related Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. A Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's biweekly FederalRegisternotice.

Sincerely,

/RA/

SUBJECT:

R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - AMENDMENT RE: CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION CHANGE (TAC NO. MB1887)

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 83 to Facility Operating License No.

DPR-1 8 for the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. This amendment is in response to your application dated May 3, 2001, as supplemented August 7, 2001, October 29, 2001, May 3, 2002, October 7, 2002, November 5, 2002 and June 6, 2003.

The amendment revises the Improved Technical Specifications to reflect design changes to the actuation circuitry associated with the Control Room Emergency Air-Treatment System. The proposed design changes consist of replacing the current radiation monitors with two Geiger-Mueller tubes powered from two independent safety-related power supplies which are then configured into two redundant actuation logic trains. The actuation logic trains utilize safety-grade digital instrumentation which meet Class 1E safety system requirements.

A copy of the related Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. A Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's biweekly Federal Register notice.
