.TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-62 ILLIN0IS POWER COMPANY.-ET AL, CLINTON POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-461

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated February 3,1988, the Illinois Power Company (IP), et al.

(the licensees), requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-62 for the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1.

The proposed amendment would delete License Condition 2.C.(6) dealing with plant operation experience on r

each shift and would revise License Condition 2.E which addresses the A

security plan.

l}

The proposed amendment to License Condition 2.E was withdrawn by the licensee by telephone request on July 3, 1990.

2.0 EVALUATION To ensure that the licensees would have senior re ctor operators on each shift who meet the generic guidelines (GL 84-16) tor hot operating experience, the NRC conditioned the operating license to require such experience until the licensee's operators had accumulated the requisite hot operating time on their own plant.

The specifi: condition states:

IP shall have a licensed senior operator on'each shift who has had at least 6 months of hot operating experience on a large commerciai SWR, including at least 6 weeks at power levels greater than 20 parcent of full power, and who has had BWR startup and shutaown experience.

This license l

condition shall be effective for a period of 1 year from fuel load or until the attainment of a nominal 100 percent power level, whichever occurs later.

Fuel load at Clinton Power Station was completed on October 21, 1986 and 100 percent reactor power was reached on September 15, 1987.

Therefore, both of the dates to which this license condition was to be effective have passed.

Since the license condition is no longer applicable, the staff _ finds the deletion of the condition to be acceptable, e
