UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION AMENDMENT NO.
TO NPF-22
.SUS UEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-388 Introduction Effective January 1, 1984, the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 replaced all existing requirements for Licensees to report "Reportable Occurrences" as defined in individual plant Technical Specifications.
This amendment deletes Action b in Section 3.3.7.9, "Fire Detection Instrumentation" of the Technical Specifications.
Action b of Section 3.3.7.9 requires that the licensee:
"Restore the minimum number of instrument(s) to OPERABLE status within 14 days or, in lieu of any other report required by Specification 6.9.1, prepare and submit a Special Report to'he Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2 within 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans and schedule for restoring the instrument(s) to OPERABLE status."
Evaluation This Technical Specification requires the Licensee to.restore instruments within 14 days or submit a special report.
Based on the January 1,
1984 NRC rule change the reporting requirement is no longer applicable and neither are the references to 6.9.1 or 6.9.2 applicable since the appro-priate sections pertaining to reporting requirements have already been deleted in accordance with this rule change.
Th'e requirement to restore the instruments is also no longer applicable since the Technical Specification as previously written did not require the Licensee to restore the instruments within a specified length of time if a special report was submitted.
The deletion of Action b in its entirety poses no additional safety hazard since a fire watch must be established to inspect the zone(s) containing the inoperable instrument(s) within one hour.
This requirement is specified in Action a of Section 3.3.7.9.
The deletion of Action b is merely the deletion of a reporting requirement because without a reporting requirement the restoration of inoperable instruments has no basis since it was the'icensee's option not to restore the instrumentation within a specified time but instead file a report.
This proposed change is consistent with the January 1,
1984 NRC rule change and therefore the NRC staff finds this change acceptable.

Environmental Consideration This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and a change in reporting requirements.
The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant
'hange 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 this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.
Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9)and (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 this amendment.
Conclusions 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 Coomissi'on'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.
