UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COIVlMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION DOCKET NO. 50-244 R.

E.

GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 56 License No.

DPR-18 1.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission or the NRC) has found that:

A.

The application for amendment filed by the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (the licensee) dated June 1,

1990, complies with the'tandards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; C

B.

The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission; C.

E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

Accordingly, the license is amended by changes to the Technical

'Specifications as indicated in the attachment to this license amendment, and paragraph 2.C.(2) of Facility Operating License No.

DPR-M--T's hereby amended to read as follows:

93>>0~0292 93X0Z0 PDR ADOCK 0500024%i' PDR

(2).

c c l S ecification The Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A, as revised through Amendment No.

56

, are hereby incorporated in the license.

The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

limiting values within one

day, the Overpower T trip setpoint and the Overtemperature T setpoint shall be similarly reduced.

Except for physics tests, if the quadrant ',to average power tilt ratio exceeds 1.02 but is less than 1.12, then within two hours:

a.

Correct the situation, or b.

Determine by measurement the hot channel

factors, and apply Specification 3.10.2.2, or c.

Limit power to 75% of rated power.

If the quadrant to average power tilt ratio exceeds 1.02 but is less than 1.12 for a sustained period of more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without known cause, or if such a tilt recurs intermittently without known cause, the reactor power C

level shall be restricted so as not to exceed 50% of rated power.

If the cause of the tilt is determined, continued operation at a

power level consistent with

3. 10. 2. 2 above, shall be permitted.

Except for physics test, if the quadrant to average power tilt ratio is 1.12 or greater, within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> either.

reduce the quadrant to average power tiltratio to within its limit or reduce power to less than 50% of rated power.

Within an additional 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, either reduce the ratio to within its limit or be at hot shutdown.

Subsequent operation for the purpose of measuring and correcting the tilt is permitted provided the power level does not exceed 50% of rated power and the Nuclear Overpower Trip setpoint is reduced by 50%.

Following any refueling and at least every effective full power month thereafter, flux maps, using the movable detector system, shall be made to confirm that Amendment No.
