DPR 47 AMENOMENT NO. 74 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-55 DUKE POWER COMPANY OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS NOS.1, 2 AND 3 DOCKETS NOS. ' 50-269, 50-270 AND 50-287 Introduction By letter dated March 21, 1979, Duke Power Company (the licensee) requested a change 'a the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units Nos.1, 2 and 3, Technical Specifications (TS).

This change would upgrade the qualifications of the Site Health Physicist.

~

Evaluation The proposed change to TS 6.1.1.4, which delineates minimum requirements for the cosition of Site Health Physicist, upgrades tne requirenents in regard to requiring a bachelor's degree in science or engineering or the equivalent in experience, need for formal training in radiation protection and at least five years of applicable professional experience. We have d:ompared the precosed qualifications with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.8, " Personnel Selection and Training" and find them comparaole.

We conclude that the changes conform to the Regulatory position of Regulatory Guide 1.3 and are thus acceptable.

Envi nmental C:nsideration.

'a'e have dete mined that these amendments do not authorize a change in effl.uent types or total amoun s ner an in:rease in power 'evel and ~ill not result in any si;:nifican: envir:nmental in:a::.

2-n Conclusion We have concluded, based on the censiderations discussed above, tnat:

(1) because the amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and do not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the amendmen ts do not involve a significant hacards consideration. (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safe?.y of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed mainer, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with '.he Commissien's regulations and the issuance of thest amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
