DPR-63 NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO.

1 DOCKET NO. 50-220

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated October 17, 1985, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (the licensee) requested an amendment to Appendix A of Facility Operating License No.

DPR-63 for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No.

1.

The amendment would modify the Technical Specifications (TS) by adding the words "hot shutdown" to Section 6.2.2 to the required times a licensed Senior Operator must be in the control room.

This change does not present a

new procedure or situation, but merely clarifies an existing one.

2.0 EVALUATION The proposed chanae to the TS requested bv the licensee adds the words "hot shutdown" to Section 6.2.2 to the required times a licensed Senior Operator must be in the control room.

The proposed nomenclature chanaI.

has been initiated to improve the overall performance of Nine Mile Point Unit l.

The existing TS require a licensed Senior Reactor Operator to be in the control room durinq power operations and when the emerqency plan is activated.

Current plant practice, however, requires a licensed Senior Operator to he in the control room during hot shutdown.

The proposed change does not present a new procedure or situation, but merely clarifies an existinq one, and therefore is acceptable.-
