7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY C0KMISSION ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-461 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF ANENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 issued to Illinois Power Company (the licensee), for operation of Clinton Power Station, Unit I located in DeWitt County, Illinois.
These amendnents include four proposed changes to Technical Specification sections 3/4.3.7.1, 3/4.3.7.11 and 3/4.3.7.12 concerning radiation monitoring instrumentation. The first proposed chenge consists of revisions which both account for and allow credit to be taken for redundancy of the common Central Control Tenninals (CCTs) where process radiation monitor status and indications are provided.
These revisions consist of: including the CCTs in the OPERABILITY requirenents for certain radiation monitor channels required to bc OPERABLE by the Technical Specifications; changing the ACTION statements, as applicable, to account for inoperability of the CCTs versus inoperability of the monitor itself that provides input to the CCTs; enhancing the CHANNEL CHECK for the applicable radiation monitors to ensure that channel connunication is established to the Main Control Room - CCT or Radiation Protection - CCT; and changing the expanded CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requirenents for the radiation monitors to make the wording of the requirernent 00 000

based on the Standard Technical Specifications more specific and applicable to the Clinton design without altering the intent of the requirement.
The second proposed change consists of revisions to the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requirement for the Liquid Radwaste Discharge Monitor. The current requirement requires a demonstration of automatic isolation of the release pathway with the monitor controls not set in the OPERATE mode.
The proposed change would delete this specific requirement since the mnitor is i
not designed to effect an isolation for this specific condition.
The third proposed change consists of specific revisions to make the i
channel / instrument descriptions for the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS)
Exhaust Process Radiation Monitor (PRM) agree with the HVAC Exhaust PRM descriptions since they are designed and operated in a similar manner.
These revisions would not change the intent of the Specification or the manner in which the surveillances are conducted.
The fourth proposed change consists of several changes to ACTION 72 of Table 3.3.7.1-1 to rake it consistent with other applicable Specifications.
To support these changes, which are associated with the OPERABILITY of the Pre-treatment Off-Gas process radiation monitor, changes are also proposed for related Specifications 4.11.2.7.1 and 4.22.2.7.2.
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Comission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Conmission's regulations.
