NRC PUBLISHES SAFETY EVALUATION FOR FULL-TERM OPERATING LICENSE FOR THE GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT The Nuclear. Regulatory Commission staff has published a Safety Evaluation Report on an application of Rochester Gas
&' Electric Corporation for a conversion of its provisional 1
operating license for the Ginna nuclear power plant to a i
full-term operating license.
1 From 1959 to 1971, the f ormer Atomic Energy Commission 1
issued provisional licenses as an intermediate step before issuing a full-term-license.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission subsequently stopped'its review of applications for conversion of provisional licenses because of a backlog of unresolved generic safety issues.
In 1977, the NRC began a Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) to. reconfirm the safety of older nuclear power plants.
The SEP review included plants with provisional licenses.
A major portion of the technical review supporting the SER for Ginna comes from the SEP review.
The SER will be reviewed by the independent Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS).
The advice of the ACRS as well as resolution of outstanding matters for which the staff review has not been completed will be addressed in supplements to the SER.
Copies of the SER will be available for public inspection
-at the NRC Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., and the Rochester Public Library,115 South Avenue, Rochester, New York.
The report, designated NUREG-0944, will be available for purchase at current prices at the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22161 or from the GPO Sales Program, Division of Technical Information and Document Control, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555.
