DPR-62 CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 2, 2002, the Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TS). The requested changes would revise the administrative controls of TS 5.7, High Radiation Area.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The regulatory requirements on which the NRC staff based its acceptance are contained in Regulatory Guide (RG) 8.38, Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas in Nuclear Power Plants, Section C, Regulatory Position 2.4, Alternate Methods for Access Control.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
In its July 2, 2002, letter, the licensee stated that the requirements of sub-paragraphs d.4. of TS 5.7.1 and TS 5.7.2 are too restrictive and constitute a regulatory burden. The current TS require individuals to possess direct-reading dosimeters when entering high radiation areas under the surveillance of a radiation protection-qualified individual, at the site, who is equipped with a radiation monitoring and indicating device. The proposed revision would list the option of entering the high radiation area, under the surveillance of a radiation protection-qualified individual, without the requirement to possess a direct-reading dosimeter. This would be specified as a separate (fifth) option under TS 5.7.1.d and TS 5.7.2.d.
Several editorial changes have also been proposed to TS 5.7.1 and TS 5.7.2 to conform to the revised numbering of the control options and to improve the clarity of the requirements.
The NRC staff has reviewed the proposed changes and concludes that they are consistent with the guidance provided in RG 8.38, Section C, Regulatory Position 2.4; therefore, the NRC staff concludes that these proposed changes are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the State of North Carolina official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
