00 UNITED STATES NLJKEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 20 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-18 ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION R.
E.
GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-244 INTRODUCTION In early 1985, Duke Power Company brought to the attention of the NRC the following inconsistency in Catawba Nuclear Station Unit 1 Technical Specifications.
Technical Specifications
- 6. 10. 1 required that a number of records, which are also required by the station's Operational guality Assurance Manual (0(AM) be retained for at least 5 years.
- However, Technical Specification
- 6. 10.2 required that the records of gA activities required by the 0(AM be retained for the duration of the Unit's operating license.
The NRC staff has reviewed this inconsistency and recommended, as stated in Reference 1, that (1) the words "not listed in section
- 6. 10. 1" be added to section
- 6. 10.2 of Catawba Unit 1 Technical Specifications, and (2) the NRC staff review the Technical Specifications of all other Operating Reactors and recommend the same amendment, if required.
In response to this NRC recommendation, the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation reviewed the Technical Specifications for its R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Plant and submitted a license amendment request (see Reference
- 2) to resolve the above stated inconsistency existing in the facility's
'Technical Specifications (TS).
Specifically, the amendment request would change TS 6. 10.2 related to records of guality Assurance activities to read, "Records of guality Assurance Activities as required by QA manual not listed in 6. 10. 1."
The phrase, "not listed in 6. 10. 1" would be added.
EVALUATION The staff has reviewed the above request for a license amendment and found it acceptable as it resolves an existing inconsistency in the facility's TS and is consistent with the staff positions documented in References 1,
3 and 4.
