! MISSISSIPPI POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY t l GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1 '

DOCKET NO. 50-416 i j 1. 0 INTRODUCTION i

l On November 1, 1984 the staff issued Facility Operating License NPF-29, I together with Technical Specifications (TS) and Environmental Protection Plan, for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (Grand Gulf). Included f

in the Grand Gulf TS were the Radiological Effluent Technical

. Specifications (RETS). Section 6.13 of the TS referenced a Process Control Program (PCP) and prescribed the methods for its change.

2.0 EVALUATION i

The docketed submittal of a PCP dated April 27, 1982 by Mississippi Power j and Light Company (MP&L, licensee) received NRC approval by letter dated l November 19, 1982 from A. Schwencer to the licensee.

j Since 1982, a number of changes have been made in the Grand Gulf PCP and ,

l- reported to NRC in PCP revisions in accordance with Grand Gulf TS l

j 6.13.2. The latest of these, Revision 1, dated February, 1984, and I 4

submitted on August 31, 1984 as part of the Grand Gulf Semiannual

{ Radioactive Effluent Release Report for January 1-June 30, 1984, has been

]

reviewed for us by Franklin Research Center (FRC) as part of our j technical assistance contract program. Their report (the enclosed section from TER-C5506-590) provides their technical evaluation of the compliance of the Licensee's submittal with NRC criteria. The staff has

} reviewed this report, and agrees with the evaluation that the Grand Gulf l PCP, Rev. 1, complies with current NRC criteria and therefore is -)

acceptable on an interim basis for use with Grand Gulf TS 6.13. However, additional information listed in Attachment I should be addressed within j six months of the issuance of this safety evaluation, in another revision. j k

currently available guidelines, a future revision should address full compliance with 10 CFR 61 when revised guidance becomes available from NRC.

3.0 CONCLUSION

S The Grand Gulf PCP, Rev. 1 is acceptable on an interim basis.
