NORTH ANNA - UNIT 2 6-6 Amendment No.

e e ATTACHMENT 3 DISCUSSION AND SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION EVALUATION

e Discussi,on The proposed change consists of the following modification to the Technical Specifications' Administrative Controls section which designates the membership composition of the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee (SNSOC):

• Addition of the Superintendent - Engineering to the list of members.

The addition of the Superintendent - Engineering to the list of specified members of SNSOC augments and complements the staff available to participate as voting members as well as recognizes the direct contribution to safety assessment made by engineering. The proposed change formalizes the SNSOC participation that the Superintendent - Engineering has had as an alternate member since the recent station organizational changes this year.

Review and evaluation have yielded the determination that approval of the proposed change is justified because this change is administrative in nature and, as discussed in the enclosed Significant Hazards Consideration Evaluation, does not affect safe plant operation. Accordingly, this change request is of the type described in the Federal Register notice dated March 6, 1986 (51 FR 7744) as an example of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards considerations.

Significam Hazards Consideration Evaluation The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications involve no significant hazards considerations, because operation of the North Anna and Surry Units 1 and 2 in accordance with these changes would not:

(1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, because the changes reflect administrative considerations and do not change the plant design or operation.

Presently, provisions made in the Technical Specifications for the appointment of alternate members to the SNSOC may be utilized with regard to the Superintendent - Engineering. The proposed change merely allows the augmentation of the pool of members readily available to convene meetings of the SNSOC; or (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, because, as above, plant design or operation is not affected by these proposed changes; or (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety, because neither plant design or operation is affected. These proposed changes do not alter the function, alternates, meeting frequency, quorum, responsibilities, authority, or records of the SNSOC as defined by the Administrative Controls of the Technical Specifications.
