Wisconsin Electnc ecsta couessr 231 W. MICHIGAN, P.O. 00X 2046. MILWAUME, WI 53201 July 10,1979 Mr. ilarold R. Denton, Director Office of Hucle Reactor Regulation U. S. NUCLEAR REGJLATORY COR11SSION Washington, D. C.
20555 Dear Mr. Denton.
DOCKET tiOS. 50-266 AtlD 50-301 TECH llICAL 5PtLIFILATIO:s CHibbt REyUEST NO. 59 Mul ATlud PHOTECTIod MANAGER FOIdT bEACn nuCLEM PLANT UtilTS 1 ANb 2 In response to the request of the tiRC Staff, Wisconsin Electric Power Ccmpany (Licensca) hereby proposes amendments to Facility 0peating Licenses UPR-24 and DPR-2/ in accordance with Part 50.59 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to incorporate certain additions to the Technical Specificatior.s for Point Beach Huclear Plant Units 1 and 2.
These additions address qualification requirements for the Radiation Protectior Manager (RPM) as delingated in Regulatory Guide 1.8, P,evision 1.
An exchange of correspondence between the NRC and ourselves regarding Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.8 began with our letter of October 23, 1975.
However, the fomal request that we propose e technical specification regarding RPfi qualifications was contained in a letter fron Mr. D. Eisenhut dated April 19, 1978.
In our response dated June 30, 1978, we requested a meeting with the fiRC to resolve our remaining concerns. Thq meeting subsequently took the form of a conference telephone call in which car main concerns were discussed and alternatives were proposed.
Based on this interchange of information, we developed the proposed technical specification attached berewith which assures the level of competence intended by Regulatory Guide 1.8 and provides the necessary flexibility for olant staffit.g.
We have reviewed the requirenents of 10 CFR Part 170.22 regarding the schedule of fees for facility license amendments and determined that this license amendment for UPR-24 snould be classified as a Class II amendment.
The auendment is administrative in nature and has no safety or environmental significance.
The license amendoert for LPR-27 is a duplicate of the Unit 1 amendment and is, therefore, a Class I amendment. We further have determined that whereas the amendment application is provided as a result of a written Comission request, is intended to clarify the technical specification for the convenicoce of the Comissfon, and has no safety significance, this application siiould be exempt from fees,
