2-l h licensee has applied the approved analysis to predict the most limiting -
. time to cladding collapse for Uconee Unit 3.
h application has several conservatisms including those we have previously identified. The most "
?
limiting time to cladding collapse exceeds tha mar' mum projected three-cycle core life of 24,746 EFP51. We therefore conclude that the current limitation of 10,944'EFPH on Oconee Unit 3 cycle 1 operation can be deleted.
We have determined that the amendments do not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendments involve an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of envf.ronmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 951.5(d)(4) that an g
environmental statement, negative declaration, or environmental impact l
appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of these
==*nd=*nts.
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 these amendments will not be inimical to the conson defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
