SUBJECT:

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No. 1; Docket No. 50-220 License Amendment Request Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90: Revisions to Primary Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valve Requirements Consistent with Standard Technical Specifications - Revised Requested Approval Date

REFERENCE:

(a) Letter from T. A. Lynch (NMPNS) to Document Control Desk (NRC), dated September 18, 2009, License Amendment Request Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90:

Revisions to Primary Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valve Requirements Consistent with Standard Technical Specifications - Technical Specification Sections 3.2.7.1 and 4.2.7.1 By letter dated September 18, 2009 (Reference a), Nine Mile point Nuclear Station, LLC (NMPNS) submitted a request for an amendment to the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (NMP 1) Renewed Facility Operating License DPR-63. The proposed amendment would modify Technical Specification (TS) Sections 3.2.7.1 and 4.2.7.1, "Primary Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valves," to incorporate requirements that are consistent with Section 3.4.5 of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433, Revision 3.1. Approval of the proposed license amendment was requested by December 4, 2009 to permit timely maintenance of a degraded pressure isolation valve (PIV).

Since Reference (a) was submitted, NMP1 experienced an unplanned outage during which the degraded PIV was repaired, thereby removing the reason for requesting an expedited NRC review. Therefore, NMPNS hereby modifies the license amendment request by changing the requested approval date to September 17, 2010, with implementation within 60 days of receipt of the approved amendment.

This request does not affect the No Significant Hazards Determination analysis provided by NMPNS in Reference (a). Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), NMPNS has provided a copy of this request to the appropriate state representative. This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
