October 17, 1977 Docket No. 50-155 Consumers Power Company ATTN: Mr. David Bixel Nuclear Licensing Administrator 212 West flichigan Avenue Jackson, Michigan 49201 Gentlemen:

The Conmission has issued the enclosed Amendment No.15 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-6 for the Big Rock Point Plant. The amendment is in response to your application dated December 17,1976 (supplemented by letters of February 9 and August 17, 1977) and your application dated April 15,1977 (supplemented by letters dated April 21, August 12 and 24, and September 26, 1977). This amendment also includes changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your request for exemption from the failure criterion requirements imposed by 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K, Paragraph I.D.1, as applied to a loss-of-Coolant Accident followed by concurrent single failure in the redundant core spray system for the 1978 operating fuel cycle. Car Safety Evaluation of the requested exemption is enclosed, Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the limited exemption, to provide time to complete full-scale testing and any needed modification of the core ring spray system, is acceptable.

The amendment also authorizes operation of the facility (1) with additional uranium 235 fuel assemblies identified as Reload G-3 for Cycle 15 as replacement for the spent fuel assemblies, and (2) with modified limiting conditions of operation and surveillance requirements based upon the Commission's review of the licensee's applications and based upon the licensee having complied with the requirements of condition III.d of the Commission's Memorandum and Order dated May 26, 1976.

Our Safety Evaluation of this amendment is enclosed.

Our review of your applications resulted in minor modifications to your proposed changes which have been discussed with and agreed to by your staff.
