UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION AMENDMENT NO.
18 TO NPF-21 WPPSS NUCLEAR PROJECT NO.
2 DOCKET NO. 50-397 INTRODUCTION By letter dated July 9, 1985, the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) has requested a change to the Technical Specification regarding the Nuclear Safety Assurance Group (NSAG) for their Nuclear Plant No. 2.
The NSAG is the term used by the licensee corresponding to the more generic term Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) used by the staff.
EVALUATION The NSAG is a group of at least five dedicated, full-time engineers who perform the independent safety reviews.
The existing Technical Specification requires a mir.imum of three NSAG members to be located on site and two at the home office.
WPPSS proposes to change this Technical Specification to require a minimum of three members on site, and allow flexibilityin the assignment of the other NSAG members.
The licensee has determined that this change has little safety significance and that
.he proposed amendment will not alter any of the accident analyses.
The staff concurs with these determinations.
- Further, the proposed change meets the acceptance criteria for the Independent Safety Engineering Group of SectioII 13.4 of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review Plan, and therefore is acceptable.
El'ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves a change to the requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiatior exposures.
The Commission has determined that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.
Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Section 51.22(c)(9).
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.

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 activi-ties 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.
