UNITED STATES NUCLEAR PEGULATOPY CC'ilSSION PFNHSYLYANlA POli'ER A"JD LIGRT COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-388 NOTICE OF ENVIRONl~iENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Cora,",ission (The Commission) is considering issuance of an exemption to Facility Operating License No. NPF-22, issued to Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (the licensee),

for opera.ion of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Unit 2, located in Luzerne

County, Pennsylvanian Et'VIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Pro osed Action:

This exemption would allow suspension of containment inerting during the Power Ascension Test Prooram (PATP) until either the required 100~ of rated thermal power trip tests have been completed or the reactor has operated for 120 effective full power days, whichever occurs earlier and would also allow exemption from the requirement stated in 10 CFR 50.44, paragraph (C)(3)(i) which states:

"Effective May 4, 1982 or 6 months after initial criticality, whichever is later, an inerted atmosphere shall be provided for each boiling light-water nuclear power reactor with a

Mark I or'Mark II type containment."

The Need for the Pro osed Action:

The proposed exemption from the regulation is reouired in order to complete the balance of the power ascension test program (PATP) in accordance with the approved test plan.

The approved test plan is based on maintaining the containment in a non-inerted cond-tion until after completing the 100";. rated thermal trip test, a condition which normally would be expected to occur within about 120 effective full power days nf 84i2260i06 84i2i9 PDR ADOCK 05000388 P

core burn-up.

On October 27, i984, SSES-2 was shut-down for a pre-cormercial outage expected to,last thru the end of December 1984.

Also, the licersee's PATP schedule for SSES-2 has not been maintained as originally planned.

This has resulted in a simple stretch out of the time required to complete all post criticality PATP tests.

These two factors

combined, have created the need to extend the period of non-inerted PATP operations beyond the calendar time of six months provided by 10 CFR 50.44.

Environmental Im acts of the Pro osed Action:

There are no environment~1 impacts of the proposed action.

No changes are being made in the maximuq full power days of core burn-up normally expected before inerting is required.

In fact to assure this, the maximum expected value of 120 effective full power days is made part of the proposed pction.

The purpose of allowing an initial period of non-inerted operations has been and continues to be, to permit ready access to systems and components inside containment during the period of the initial plant power ascension test program.

When these tests have been completed, which occurs essentially at the point where the full rated thermal power trip tests of the PATP have been completed, the exemption from 10 CFR 50.44 is no longer applicable.

Thus, should a release occur during the extended PATP it would not be greater than any release contemplated during the originally scheduled PATP.

Also, there is nothing in the proposed change that would suggest that the probability of release would be increased.

Further, the proposed change does not otherwise affect radiological plant effluents, nor any-significant occupational exposures.

Therefore, the Commission concludes that there are no significant radio-logical environmental impacts associated with this proposed amendment.

Alternative to the Pro osed Action:

Since we have concluded that there is no measurable environmental impact associated with the granting of the proposed exemption, any alternative to this exemption will have the same or I

greater environmental impact.

The principal alternative would be to deny the exemption which would reduce operational flexibility.

Alternative Use of Resources:

This action does not involve

.he use of resources not previously considered in connection with the "Final Envirbnmental

\\

Statement" related to the operation of Susquehanna Steam Electric Statioh Units 1 and 2 dated June 1981.

Aoencies and Persons Consulted:

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's position and did not consult other agencies or persons.

FINDINGS OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption.

Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, we conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant ef ect on the quality of the human. environment.

Dated at Bethesda, Maryland this 10t" day of December 1984.
