Docket No. 50-220 DPR-63 Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter is to clarify Ni'agara Mohawk' position with respect to the definition of a Heavy Load.

Our letter of August 1,

1982, transmitted a report on Heavy Loads which indicated that Niagara Mohawk defined a heavy load as an'ything weighing more than a fuel assembly, or approximately 700 pounds.

NUREG-0612, "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants,"

indicates that a Heavy Load shall be defined as the weight of the plant's spent fuel assembly plus its lifting device.

Although the weight of a fuel assembly plus its handling tool is greater than 1000 pounds, Niagara Mohawk conservatively has redefined a heavy load as 1000 pounds or greater; this is also consistent with Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Technical Specification 3.9.7.

Very truly yours, NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION C.
