Subject:

Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No.'0-244

Dear"Mr.'Johnson:

Enclosed is an Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License Number DPR-18 to amend Appendix A of that license for the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. This amendment application requests a revision to Technical Specification Sections 3.2 and 3.3. This proposed amendment eliminates the use of the high concentration boric acid as a safety-related source for the safety-injection pumps. Analysis for the limiting accident (steam line break) has been performed using only the minimum boron concentra-tion in the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) (2000 ppm).

Proposed changes are also included to increase allowable outage times (AOTs) and a requirement to allow borating the reactor to a shutdown margin equivalent to at least 2.454 delta k/k at cold shutdown conditions with no Xenon. Also, minor corrections and editorial changes are proposed, as listed in Table 1 of Attachment B.

RG&E requests approval of this Amendment by the startup of Cycle 23, currently scheduled for April 25, 1993. RGGE also requests 90 days for implementation of the Amendment following NRC approval.

Very truly yours, Robert C. Mecredy RWE/257 Attachment ggQQ$ 4
