7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION DOCKET NO. 50-220 PARTIAL DENIAL OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied a
portion of a request by the licensee for an amendment to Facility Operating License No.
DPR-63 issued to Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation for operation of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No.
1 (the facility), located in Oswego County, New York.
The denied portion of the proposed amendment would have revised Figure 3.1.2b, "Minimum Allowable Solution Temperature" in the Technical Specifications.
The revised curve would have extended the curve to lower temperatures (from 40'F to 30'F) to define the weight percent sodium pentaborate in solution at temperatures as low as 30'F.
Notice of consideration of issuance of the amendments was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on June 1,
1988 (53 FR 20044).
The licensee's application for amendment was dated March 7, 1988, as supplemented April 13, 1988.
During the review, the staff determined that the revised curve for Fi.gure
- 3. 1.2b had been shifted in the non-conservative direction as well as extended.
This was discussed with the licensee's staff who stated that the shift was made in error.
The licensee further stated that the revised curve SS11090457 SS1031 PDR ADOCK 05000220 P
PDC 4
was independent of the other changes requested in the amendment and was not necessary for operation with the other proposed changes for the Liquid Poison System.
The staff determined that operation with the revised curve was not acceptable but that operation with the existing Figure 3.1.2b with the other changes in the amendment request was acceptable.
By December 7, 1988, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to the denial described above and any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene.
A request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
