7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM DOCKET NO. 50-397 NOTICE OF PARTIAL DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied in part a request by the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS or licensee) for an amendment to Facility Operating License No.
NPF-21 for operation of the WPPSS Nuclear Project No. 2, located in Benton County, Washington.
The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment was published in the Federal
~Re ister on November 30, 1988 (53 FR 48340).
The licensee proposed to amend the technical specifications related to radiation monitoring of control room ventilation air to remove the requirement for an automated trip of air intakes upon a high radiation signal.
Arguments were presented to support this action; and it was reviewed and approved.
In the same application, several other changes to the affected section were proposed but were not supported.
Specifically, NRC staff did not review the footnote which was proposed to be added to page 3/4 3-58 or review the proposed changes to statement 70 on page 3/4 3-59 specifying times to restore the monitors to operable status because the licensee did not (I) indicate any need for the changes, (2) present a safety analysis, instead arguing that the proposed wording would be consistent with wording used in unrelated sections 8'33iOi80224 89l003 PDR ADDCN; 500 ~97 t

of the technical specifications, or (3) provide a "no significant hazards consideration analysis" addressing these changes.
Therefore, these proposed changes have been denied.
