UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 115 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-58 AND AMENDMENT NO. 161 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-74 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY DONALD C.
COOK NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS NOS.
1 AND 2 DOCKETS NOS.
50-315 AND 50-316 1.0
2.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated November 2, 1987, the Indiana Michigan Power Company (the licensee) requested amendments to the Technical Specifications appended to Facility Operating Licenses Nos.
DPR-58 and DPR-74 for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant, Units Nos.
1 and 2.
The proposed amendments would augment the D.
C.
Cook Radiological Environmental Technical Specifications (RETS) by incorporating commitments to the gaseous effluent Technical Specifications relative to the burning of contaminated oil.
The radioactive effluent releases and procedures for review and analysis were previously approved under the RETS program for D.
C.
Cook, Units 1 and 2.
The implementation of the Technical Specifications for the RETS program overlooked the release pathway through the Auxiliary Boiler System although the releases have been accounted for and reported as appropriate.
This proposed amendment would correct the oversight by adding the limits and test requirements to the Technical Specifications.
EVALUATION We have evaluated the proposed changes and find that they formalize commitments to procedures that have been used by the licensee since
- 1981, before implementation of the RETS.
No new pathways for gaseous effluents are proposed beyond those already considered in the RETS.
The licensee's commitments in the RETS for radioactive effluent monitoring remain the
- same, and the dose limits to members of the public from the effluents remain the same.
The amendments proposed by the licensee would add to the D.
C.
Cook RETS commitments regarding the burning of contaminated oil approved by the NRC staff and implemented in the RETS of a number of other operating plants such as Calvert Cliffs, Fitzpatrick and Maine Yankee.
The NRC staff considers that the safety and environmental effects of the Technical Specification changes proposed by the licensee fall within the envelope of effluent impacts already considered in the RETS Safety Evaluation for D.
C.
Cook dated February 7, 1983.
We therefore find the changes acceptable.

- 3. 0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments involve 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 a surveillance requirement.
We have determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change 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 these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.
Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 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 these amendments.
4.0 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 activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission s regulations, and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
