Subject:

Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License Correction of Accumulator Borated Water Volume (SR 3.5.1.2)

Rochester Gas 8'c Electric Corporation R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244

Dear Mr. Vissing,

The enclosed license amendment request (LAR) proposes to revise the Ginna Station Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) to correct an error in the required accumulator borated water volume as specified in SR 3.5.1.2. Specifically,'R 3.5.1.2 does not correctly match cubic feet volume limits with their associated accumulator percent level value. RGEcE is presently administratively controlling the upper and lower accumulator water volumes to the most limiting of the volume and percent level values to ensure compliance with the Ginna Station ITS. This provides a very narrow allowable accumulator level range of effectively 67% to 82%; thus, RGkE requests NRC review as soon as possible to prevent entry into the accumulator LCO or plant shutdown in the event of a small accumulator volume change.

The proposed LAR should be considered effective immediately and implemented within 30 days aAer RGB'eceipt of NRC approval.

Very truly yours, On 9708270i9b 9708i9 PDR ADQCK 05000244 Robert C. Mecredy P PDR Subscribed and sworn to before me on this 19th day of August 1997.
