JUL 2 6 1973 Docket Ho. 50-220 Niagara Hohawk Power Corporation ATTN: Hr. Philip D. Raymond Vice President - Engineering 300 Zxie Boulevard 'Pest

Syracuse, Hew Yorlc 13202 Gentlemen:

To continue our review of two considerations related to Hine Hoyle Point Nuclear Station Unit 1, additional information is necessary.

The two considexations under present review

.are:

(a) the Quality Assurance program for plant operation, and (b) your proposed change to add an Access Platform to the refueling bridge structure.

Our 1etter to you dated ofay 21, 1973, requested that you submit within 90 days a description of your QA progran responsive to current guides.

To preclude unneCessary iterations in this matter, we have identified particular QA information which we need to complete oux review.

There-fore, you axe requested to provide this additional information in your response to our Hay 21, 1973 lettex ox as an addition to that xesponse.

All of this information, including that previously requested, should be submitted by Hovember 23, 1973.

Your proposed change to Nine Hile Point Unit 1 requested by letter dated Januaxy 11, 1973, involves adding an Access Platform to the refueling bridge structure to expedite the refueling operation and also improve personnel safety.

Our review of this proposal has included a meeting on June 6, 1973, with your representatives to discuss structural and mechanical considerations reLated to this change.

At this meeting, we indicated that we would require additional information.

,This additional information is identified in the enclosure.
