-38 Introduction The licensee in a letter dated August '15,
- 1983, proposed changes to the Technical Specifications of the operating license for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Unit 1 which are as follows:
a) b)
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.
This 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 Technical Specification Table 4. 11.2. 1.2-1 to read:
"Under the provisions of footnote g above, only noble gases need be considered."
- and, Adds fire hose stations above elevation 749'" to Technical Specification Table 3.7.6.5-1 to ensure a proper level of surveillance on equipment that protects safety-related equipment.
Evaluation a)
Technical S ecification Table 4.11.2.1.2-1 The NRC staff has reviewed the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company's request to delete redundant monthly sampling requirements for iodine and particulates in the Reactor Building, Turbine Building and Standby Gas Treatment System exhaust vents.
The licensee states that the present plant Technical Specifications require these vents to be continuously monitored for noble gases, iodines and particulates, with an additional monthly requirement to take grab samples of these vent streams and analyze for noble gases, iodines and particulates.
The licensee claims that because the iodine and particulate information is made available by the continuous monitors, there is no need to perform iodine and particulate analysis on the grab samples.
- However, grab sample analysis for noble gas isotopic characterization will still be required.
The staff concludes that iodine and particulate analysis of grab samples taken from vents that are continuously monitored for same is redundant and does not provide any additional information.
Therefore, the licensee Technical Specifications change regarding grab sampling analysis of the subject vent stream is acceptable.

Technical S ecification Table 3.7.6.5-1 The NRC staff has reviewed Pennsylvania Power
& Light Company's request to add fire hose stations above elevation 749'" to Technical Specification Table 3.7.6.5-1.
The licensee states that omission of the fire hose stations above elevation 749'"
was an administrative error and that these fire stations have been in place since the inception of the Unit 1 license.
The NRC staff concludes that the fire hose stations above elevation 749'" should be added to Technical Specification Table 3.7.6.5-1 to ensure a proper level of surveillance on equipment that protects safety-related equipment.
Therefore, the licensee Technical Specification change adding fire hose stations above elevation 749'" to Table 3.7.6.5-1 is acceptable.
I Environmental Consideration We have determined that this amendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amount nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that this amen'dment involves action which is insigni-ficant from the standpoint of environmental
- impact, and pursuant to 10 CFR Section 51.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and enviromental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
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'ndangered by operation in the proposed
- manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
