SUBJECT:
FERMI 2 - ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT RE: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.3.6.2, "SECONDARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION INSTRUMENTATION" (TAC NO. MC2321)
Dear Mr. OConnor:
The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 161 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 for the Fermi 2 facility. The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated January 30, 2004.
The amendment revises TS 3.3.6.2, "Secondary Containment Isolation Instrumentation, Condition C, to add the words "not met" to the end of the phrase, "Required Action and associated Completion Time." The omission of the words "not met" was an oversight during the change to Improved Standard TSs (NUREG 1433).
A copy of our safety evaluation is also enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's biweekly Federal Register notice.
Sincerely,
/RA/

SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 161 FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-43 DETROIT EDISON COMPANY FERMI 2 DOCKET NO. 50-341
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated January 30, 2004, the Detroit Edison Company requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Fermi 2. The proposed change would revise TS 3.3.6.2, "Secondary Containment Isolation Instrumentation, Condition C, to add the words "not met" to the end of the phrase, "Required Action and associated Completion Time." The words "not met" were inadvertently omitted during TS Amendment No. 134, dated September 30, 1999, that implemented Improved Standard Technical Specification (ISTS), NUREG 1433. This proposed change would correct the statement.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The technical content of TS 3.3.6.2 would not be changed as a result of this proposed amendment. Adding the words "not met" to the phrase in TS 3.3.6.2, Condition C, is considered an improvement which corrects an omission that occurred during implementation of the ISTS. Although these words "not met" are implied in Condition C, this proposed amendment would clarify the meaning of this phrase and is judged to have no impact on regulatory requirements or regulatory criteria.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
During implementation of the ISTS, the words "not met" were inadvertently omitted from TS 3.3.6.2, Condition C. TS 3.3.6.2 addresses secondary containment isolation instrumentation whose function is to automatically initiate closure of appropriate secondary containment isolation valves, trip the reactor building heating ventilation and air conditioning system, and start the standby gas treatment system to limit fission product release during and following a postulated design-basis accident. The initiation signals are reactor vessel low water level, drywell high pressure, fuel pool ventilation exhaust high radiation, and manual initiation.
The proposed change corrects the omission error by adding the words "not met," to TS 3.3.6.2, Condition C, so that the revised Condition C would read "Required Action and associated Completion Time not met." The revised Condition C wording is the same wording used in ISTS, NUREG 1433. This proposed change will not impact the technical content or implementation of TS 3.3.6.2.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commissions regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (69 FR 34698). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
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 Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
