t983 MEMORANDUM FOR:
James R. Miller, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 3, DL FROM:
SUBJECT:
A. Schwencer, Chief Licensing Branch No. 2, DL REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION IN MONTHLY FR NOTICE - NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND PROPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEARING Penns lvania Power 8 Li ht Com an
, Docket No. 50-387, Sus uehanna Steam Electric Station, Unit 1, Luzerne Count
, Penns lvania.
Date of amendment re uest:
August 15, 1983 Descri tion of amendment re uest:
The purpose of the proposed amendment request is to clarify that the monthly requirement for grab samples for Gaseous Release Type "B" in Technical Specification Table 4.11.2. 1.-2-1 does not require grab samples for particulates and iodines.
The proposed change would be accomplished by changing the footnote notation on "Principal Gamma Emitters" under Types of Activity Analysis for Gaseous Release Type "B" from "g" to ".h", and adding an additional footnote "h" at the end of
'echnical Specification Table 4. 11.2.1.2-1 to read:
"Under the provisions of footnote g above, only noble gases need to be considered."

The proposed amendment request also adds fire hose stations above elevation 749'1" to Technical Specification Table 3.7.6.5-1 to ensure a proper level of surveillance on equipment that protects safety-related equipment.
Basis for ro osed no si nificant hazards consideration determination:
The licensee in his letter of August 15, 1983, stated that the installed filter and cartridge in the vent monitors continously collect and monitor the particulates and iodines being released and these continuous samples~
are then analyzed to identify and quantify the activity released over the collection period.
The licensee indicated that the monthly grab samples of particulate and iodines collected over a period of 1-3 hours, serve no purpose in monitoring or quantifying the release and the deletion of the particulate and iodines from the monthly grab sample requirements involves no significant hazards consideration.
The licensee's basis for this determination is that the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident because the intent of the monthly grab sample requirement for particulate and iodines is already being complied with via the continous vent monitoring requirements.
The licensee also stated that this change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated because no accident evaluation is dependent on the monthly grab sample of particulates and iodines, and the
r
~ I
continuous sampling for particulates and iodines is being carried out in accordance with the Technical Specifications.
The licensee also stated that the change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety, since continuous sampling is being carried out and deletion of a periodic sampling requirement will not affect safety.
If the staff's review confirms the licensee's evaluation, the change clearly involves no significant 1
hazards considerations and on these
- bases, the staff proposes to find that the amendment does not involve significant hazards considerations.
The fire hose stations above elevation 749'" were inadvertently omitted from the Technical Specifications and the proposed change to add the fire hose stations above elevation 749'" to Technical Specification Table 3.7.6.5-1 would be a purely administrative change to correct the error.
One of the examples of actions involving no significant hazards consideration (48 FR 14871),
example (i), applies to such a change which is a purely administrative change to Technical Specifications to correct an error.
