'1.

The Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has found that:

A.

The application for amendment by Northern States Power Company (the licensee) dated July 27, 1984 as clarified by letters dated September 25, 1984 and October 25, 1984, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B.

The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Comission; C.

There is reasonable assurance (i) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations; D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the c^,mmon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Comission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

2.

Accordingly, tha license is amended by changes to the Technical Specifications as indicated in the attachment to this license amendment, and paragraph 2.C.2 of Facility Operating License No. DPR-22 is hereby amended to read as follows:

a Bases Continued:

increases core voiding, a negative reactivity feedback. liigh pressure sensors initiate the pump trip in the event of an isolation transient.

Low level sensors initiate the trip on loss of feed-water (and the resulting MSIV closure). The recirculation pump trip is only required at high reactor power levels, where the safety / relief valves have insufficient capacity to relieve the steam which continues to be generated after reactor isolation in this unlikely postulated event, requiring the trip to be operable only when in the RUN mode is therefore conservative.

Voltage sensing relays are provided on the safeguards bus to transfer the bus to an alternate source when a loss of voltage condition or a degraded voltage condition is, sensed.

Du loss of voltage this transfer occurs immediately. The transfer on degraded voltage has a time delay to prevent transfer during the starting of large loads. The degraded voltage setpoint corresponds to the minimum acceptable safeguards bus voltage for starting and running Joads during a loss of coolant accident. An allowance for relay tolerance is included.

Although the operator will set the set points within the trip settings specifed in Tables 3.2.1 through 3.2.6, the actual values of the various set points can differ appreciably from tie value the operator is attempting to set.

The deviations could be caused by inherent instrument error, drif t of the set point, ect.

Therefore, these deviations have been ' accounted for in the various transient analyses and the actual trip settings may vary by the following amounts.
