Unit No. 1) )

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE Pursuant to Section 50.90 of the regulations of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "Commission" ), Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation ("RG&E"), holder of Provisional Operating License No. DPR-18, hereby requests that the Technical Specification 6.9 set forth in Appendix A to that license be amended to modify the requirements for reporting of information to the Commission. This request for a change in the Technical Specifications is submitted in accordance with a letter from A. Schwencer, Chief, Operating Reactors Branch 51, dated September 16, 1977. Additionally, a change is requested in Technical Specification Table 3.13-1 to add a shock suppressor to the list of safety related shock suppressors.

The proposed technical specification change is set forth in Attachment, A to this Application. A safety evaluation is set forth in Attachment B. This evaluation also demonstrates that the proposed change does not involve a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of effluents or any change in the authorized power level of the facility.

6.9 Re ortin Re uirements In addition to the applicable reporting requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, the following identified reports shall be submitted to the Director of the appropriate Regional Office of Inspection and Enforcement unless otherwise noted.

6.9.1 Routine Reports a ~ Startup Report. A summary report. of plant startup and power escalation testing shall be submitted following (1)'receipt of an operating license, (2) amendment to the license involving a planned increase in power level, (3) installation of fuel that has a different design or has been manufactured by a different fuel supplier, and (4) modifications, that may have signifi-cantly altered the nuclear, thermal, or hydraulic performance of the plant. The report shall address each of the tests identified in the FSAR and shall in general include a description of the measured values of the operating conditions or characteristics obtained during the test program and a comparison of these values with design predictions and specifications.

Any corrective actions that were required to obtain satisfactory operation shall also be described. Any additional specific details required in license conditions based on other commitments shall be in-cluded in this report.

Startup reports shall be submitted within (1) 90 days following. completion of the startup test program, (2) 90 days following resumption or commencement of commercial power operation, or (3) 9 months following initial criticality, whichever is earliest.

Startup Report does not cover all three events (i.e, If the initial criticality, completion of startup test program, and resumption or, commencement of commercial power operation), supplementary reports shall be submitted at least every .three months until all three events have been completed.

b. Mo'n'th'1 Opera't'in'e 'o'r't.'outine reports of operating statgstxcs and shutdown experience shall be submitted on a monthly basis to the Director, Office of Management Information and Program Control, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 by the tenth of each month following the calendar month covered by the report.

The monthly report shall include a narrative summary of operating experience describing the operation of the facility, including'ajor safety related maintenance for the monthly period, except that safety related maintenance 6.9-1 PROPOSED

performed during the refueling outage may be reported in the monthly report for thq month following the end,of the outage rather than each month during the outage.

6.9.2. Reportable Occurrences Reportable occurrences, including corrective actions and measures to prevent reoccurrence, shall be reported to the NRC. Supplemental reports may be required to fully describe final resolution of occurrence. In case of corrected or supplemental reports, a licensee event report shall be completed and reference shall be made to the original report date.

(2) Annually: A tabulation on an annual basis of the number of station, utility and other personnel (including contractors) receiving exposures greater than 100 mrem/yr and their associated man rem exposure according. to work and job functions, e.g., reactor operations and surveillance, in-service inspection, routine maintenance, special maintenance (describe maintenance), waste processing, and refueling. The dose assignment to various duty functions may be estimates based on pocket, dosimeter, TLD, or film badge measurements. Small exposures totalling less than 20% of the individual total dose peed no/ be a@counted for. Xn the aggregate, at least 00% of the total whqle body dose received from external sources shall be assigned to specific major work functions.

ATTACHMENT B By letter dated September 16, 1977, the NRC requested that the Ginna Technical Specification requirements for the Annual Operating Report be revised. According to that letter, a review of reporting requirements had been performed and it had been determined that much of the information now included in the Annual Operating Report could be deleted and objectives.

still meet the desired NRC Accordingly, the proposed change would delete- the present requirements for an Annual Operating Report. Since the NRC has expressed a desire to continue receiving the tabulation of occu-pational exposure data presently required by paragraph 6.9.l.b.(3),

a requirement to submit such information is being retained as Specification 6.9.3.c.(2).

In accordance with the September 16 letter, the Monthly Operating Report, beginning with the report for January, 1978 will contain the requested information. It is proposed, however, that the safety re$ ated maintenance performed during the refueling outage be re-ported in the repoxt for the month following the end of the outage.

Because of the extensive maintenance which is performed during the

'pefueli,ng outage, due to the heavy manpower requirements to perform the rqaintenance, the reporting is deferred until. after the outage.

The proposed timing will allow plant personnel at least one month between the end of the outage and the report submittal. The proposed schedule pill, however, provide maintenance information more than is the case under the present 'Annual Operating Report. Afrequently separate, one-time-only, "Narrative Summary of Operating Experience" to cover the calendar year 1977 will be submitted. This summary will cover information presently required by Technical Specification 6.9.1.'b.(1) including safety related maintenance.

The proposed change will simplify reporting requirements and, will continue to provide to the NRC all information which the September 16, 1977 letter requests.

In addition, a change is proposed to the list of safety related shock suppressors in Technical Specification 3.13-1. This change would add a hydraulic snubber on the standby auxiliary feedwater to the table. This snubber is presently installed although the standby auxiliary feedwater system is presently under review at the NRC. The proposed revision is submitted pursuant to the footnote to Table 3.13-1.
