P'R REGX UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 139 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-38 AMENDMENT NO. 139 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-47 AMENDMENT NO. 136 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-55 DUKE POWER COMPANY OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS NOS. 1, 2 AND 3 DOCKETS NOS. 50-269, 50-270 AND 50-287 INTRODUCTION By letter dated February 13, 1984, Duke Power Company (the licensee) proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) of Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3. These amendments would consist of changes to the Station's common TSs. Other changes requested in the February 13, 1984, submittal are still under staff review and will be addressed by separate safety evaluation and license amendment.

These amendments revise the TSs to update the TS references to the Oconee Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) to ensure consistency with reference to the updated FSAR.

EVALUATION The initial Oconee FSAR update was provided, as required by 10 CFR Part 50.71, by letter dated July 19, 1982, from the licensee. The updated FSAR was revised in format to be consistent with present FSAR format criteria.

This resulted in the FSAR references in the TSs being out of date. The updating of the references to the FSAR within the TSs assures that the appropriate sections of the FSAR are being identified. The updating of the TSs is an administrative change to achieve consistency with other documents.

During our review, we noted that several typographical errors appeared in the proposed amendment pages. We discussed these with the licensee, and he agreed to the changes. The correction of these typographical errors is strictly administrative in nature and does not affect the operation of the facility.

TS pages 1-4, 3.1-2, 3.1-11, 5.3-1 and 3.5-13 were withdrawn by the licensee and therefore, are no longer a part of the February 14, 1984 application.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments relate to changes in administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria 6506210467 850530 PDR ADOCK 05000269 I

p PDR

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 these amendments.

CONCLUSION We have 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, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
