1 7590-01 U_N_ITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULAT0DY COMMISSION CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-155 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No, OPR-6 issued to the Consumers Pcwer Company (the licensee), for operation of the Big Rock Point Plant located in Charlevoix County, Michigan.
In accordance with the licensee's application for amendment dated November 9, 1987, the proposed amendment would revise the provisions in the Big Rock Point Plant Technical Specifications (TSs) relating to the installation of new out-of-core power range instrumentation. The licensee plans on replacing the existing power range instrumentation with a newer design due to limited availability of replacement parts and high expenditure of maintenance hours to keep the existing equipment in operation. Eliminati)n of the intermediatt rance instrumentation is proposed due to the greater range of the new power range instrumentation.
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.
