UNITED STATES NUCLEAR R EG ULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AYENDNENT NO, 21 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-18 ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION R.
E.
GINNA NUCLEAR POMER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-244
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated October 15, 1986, Rochester Gas 5 Electric Corporation (the licensee) requested several changes to the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications for the R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
The requested changes would alter the membership and the quorum requirements for the Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Board (NSARB).
2.0 EVALUATION The existing Technical Specifications, in Section 6.5.2, specify the membership of the NSARB as:
Chairman Vice Chairman At least four technical qualified persons who are not members of the plant staff.
At least one qualified non-compahy a filiated technical member, with voting rights.
Two members from the Ginna plant supervisory staff (non-voting members)
The proposed NSARB membership change would increase the plant representation on the NSARB to three members and would grant them voting rights.
The existing quorum requirements for NSARB meetings are five members including the Chairman or Vice Chairman.
At least one of the quorum members must be a non-company affiliated technical consultant.
The proposed revised quorum requirement would call for the quorum to consist of a majority of the members including the Chairman or Vice Chairman, retain the requirement that at least one of the quorum must be a
non-company affiliated technical consultant, and specify that no more than a minority of the quorum may be members of the plant staff.
The licensee states that the proposed changes will strengthen the review capability of the NSARB by more fully incorporating the experience of members of the plant staff.
hIe agree.
The quorum requirements also ensure the plant representatives cannot dominate board actions.

The NSARB membership and quorum requirements, as revised, would be in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.4 of the Standard Review
- Plan, NUREG-0800.
They are, therefore, acceptable.
