UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR CTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.
174 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-58 AND AMENDMENT NO.
157 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-74 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY DONALD C.
COOK NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT NOS.
1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS.
50-315 AND 50-316
- 1. 0 INTRODUCTION By letter dated April 16,
- 1993, as supplemented June 18,
- 1993, the Indiana Michigan Power Company (the licensee) requested amendments to the Technical Specifications (TS) appended to Facility Operating License Nos.
DPR-58 and DPR-74 for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos.
1 and 2.
For both units, the proposed amendments would change Technical Specification (TS) 6.9. 1.8 and 6.9. 1.9, "Semi-Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report," to extend the Radioactive Effluent Release Report submittal frequency from semiannual to annual.
These requested changes conform to the change in 10 CFR, Section 50.36a, "Technical Specifications on Effluents from Nuclear Power Reactors," effective October 1,
1992.
Additionally, the proposed amendments would change TS 6.5.2.2, "Composition," 6.5.2.3, "Alternate Members," 6.5.2.9, "Authority," and 6.5.2. 10, "Records," to reflect a membership change in the Nuclear Safety and Design Review Committee (NSDRC) charter.
The June 18, 1993, letter provided an administrative correction which had no effect on the staff's initial no significant hazards consideration finding as published in the Federal
~Re ister on June 23, 1993 (58 FR 34080).
- 2. 0 EVALUATION
- 2. 1 Effluent Release Re ort Submittal Fre uenc Chan e
As indicated
- above, 10 CFR 50.36 was changed to require that a report to the Commission specifying the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas during the previous twelve months should be prepared and submitted annually.
The new regulation also requires that the time interval between submissions of the reports must be no longer than twelve months.
Previously, 10 CFR 50.36a required these reports to be submitted semiannually and within sixty days after January 1 and July 1 of each year.
~SO8240200 eS080O I
PDR ADOCK 050003l5, p
The proposed TS changes satisfy both of the new requirements in 10 CFR 50.36a.
TS 6.9. 1.8 and 6.9.1.9 have been changed to require that the Radioactive Effluent Release Report cover the operation of each unit during the previous calendar year.
The TS have also been changed to require the submittal of this report 90 days after January 1 of each year, which satisfies the second requirement that the submissions of the reports be no longer than twelve months apart.
Since the requested TS changes are consistent with the new requirements in 10 CFR 50.36a, the staff finds these changes acceptable.
2.2 SDRC C arter Chan e
Changes were made in the NSDRC charter to reflect corporate reorganization caused by the retirement of the Senior Executive Vice President, Engineering 8
Construction and the delegation of his duties and responsibilities.
Two notable changes include the membership reduction from 14 to 13 regular members and the replacement of Manager of Electrical Systems Division by the Manager of Plans and Programs for Nuclear Operations.
These changes do not significantly alter the membership of the current NSDRC.
In addition, the ability of the NSDRC to provide independent review and audit of designated activities is not considered to be significantly affected.
Thus, the staff finds these changes acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments.
The State official had no comments.
- 4. 0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendments change reporting and administrative procedures and requirements.
Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(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 the amendments.
5.0
~CtlllCLIIKIII The staff has 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, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
