Docket No. 50-220 Hr. B. Ralph Sylvia Executive Vice President, Nuclear Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation 301 Plainfield Road
- Syracuse, New York 13212
Dear Hr. Sylvia:
February 10, 1994
SUBJECT:
REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97 BOILING WATER REACTOR NEUTRON FLUX MONITORING NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT NO.
1 (TAC NO. H69209)
Section 6.2 of Generic Letter 82-33 requested applicants and licensees to provide a report on their implementation of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.97.
The Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group responded by submitting NED0-31558, "Position on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, Requirements for Post-Accident Neutron Monitoring System,"
which proposed alternative criteria for neutron flux monitoring instrumentation in lieu of the Category 1 criteria stated in the RG.
In a safety evaluation dated January 13, 1993, the NRC staff concluded that the criteria of NEDO-31558 was acceptable.
By letter dated April 15, 1993, the NRC staff requested Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NHPC) to review the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No.
1 (NHP-1) neutron flux monitoring instrumentation against the criteria of NEDO-31558 and document the results of NMPC's review.
Your letter of June 18,
- 1993, provided the results of NHPC's review.
The NRC staff has completed its review of NHPC's submittal and concludes that the post-accident neutron flux monitoring instrumentation at NHP-1 meets the criteria of NEDO-31558 and is, therefore, an acceptable alternative to the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.97.
Sincerely,
