SUBJECT Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2
SUMMARY
OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION OF DECEMBER 11, 1997, REQUESTING ADDITIONALINFORMATIONON PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF NUCLEAR MEASUREMENTANALYSISAND CONTROL POWER RANGE NEUTRON MONITOR SYSTEM (TAC NO. MA0150)
On December 11, 1997, I called Ms. L. Otman of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) and stated that the NRC staff needed additional information to complete the review of the application for amendment, dated October 31, 1997, for Nine Mile Point, Unit 2. Under the proposed amendment, NMPC would install the General Electric Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control power range neutron monitor system, consistent with NMPC's response to Generic Letter 94-02, "Long-Term Solutions and Upgrade of Interim Operating Recommendations for Thermal-Hydraulic Instabilities in Boiling Water Reactors."
Accordingly, I faxed the enclosure to Ms. Otman, who subsequently acknowledged receiving it.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONALINFORMATION The following questions address the General Electric (GE) Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Neutron Monitor (NUMAC-PRNM)system upgrade in Nine Mile Point Unit 2:
References:
1.
"Application for Amendment to Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) Operating License NPF-69,"
Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, October 31, 1997.
2.
"Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Neutron Monitor (NUMAC-PRNM)
Retrofit Plus Option III Stability Trip Function," NEDC-32410P-A, October 1995.
Request 1: Indicate the specific period for operating the OPRM before activating the OPRM function and implementing the OPRM technical specification changes.
For example, NEDC-32410P-A (Ref 2) allows one fuel cycle for testing the OPRM functions before implementing amended OPRM technical specifications.
Request 2:.Provide the following design basis environmental conditions for NMP2:
Temperature NMP2 (Ref 1) 24'C to 32'C (reported)
(75'F nominal to 90'F)
Design Basis:?
NUMAC-PRNMS (Ref 2) 5'C to 50'C (41'F to 122'F)
Humidity 20% to 50% RH (reported)
Design Basis: ?
10% to 90% RH (noncondensing)
Pressure Radiation 14.7 psia (acceptable)
<0.2mRem/hr dose rate (reported) 70 Rem TID (reported)
Design Basis: ?
13psia to 16 psia 1E-4 Gy(Carbon)/hr dose rate 1E+2 Gy (Carbon) TID P
Note: The radiation limits should be expressed in rads/hr or Grays/hr dose rate, and total integrated dose in rads or Grays, instead of units of rem/hr and rem TID.
