UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-461 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 issued to Illinois Power Company (the licensee), for operation of Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 located in DeWitt County, Illinois.
This amendment consists of a proposed change to the Clinton Power Station (CPS) Technical Specifications in order to remove the isolation requirements for isolating the Containment Monitoring (CM) and Process Sampling (PS) systems upon receiving a Containment Building Exhaust High Radiation signal.
This would require changes to Technical Specifications 3/4.3.2 (Table 3.3.2-1 item 1.h, Table 3.3.2-2 item 1.h, Table 3.3.2-3 item 1.h, and Table 4.3.2.1-1 item 1.h)and3/4.6.4(Table 3.6.4-1).
The current Technical Specifications require tne CM and PS systems to automatically isolate from a Containment Building Exhaust High Radiation Signal. This trip function is required to be operable in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2 an' 3, when handling irradiated fuel in d
the primary or secondary containment, during CORE ALTERATIONS, and during operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel.
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 Comission's regulations.
