SAFErY EVAWATION 1 THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACIO'.' EGUIATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 5 'IO LICENSE NO. DPR-72 F WRIDA POWER CORPORATION, Fr AL g
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCYEr NO. 50-302 INTRODUCTION By letter dated May 20, 1977, Florida Power Corporation requested changes in the Technical Specifications appended to Facility Operating License No.
DPR-72 for Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant. The proposed changes consist of (1) revisions in the offsite organization for technical support and facility management incurred by corporate level management changes, (2) revisions in titles of management at the plant staff level, (3) revisions to the review activities of the Nuclear General Review Comittee, (4) revisions to the time specified for the preparation, approval and distribution of records of the activities of the Nuclear General Review Comittee, and (5) revisions in Reactivity Control Systems, Plant Systems and Refueling Operations. The request for revisions related to item (5) above are currently under review by the NRC staff and are not further discussed in this Safety Evaluation.
Florida Power Corporation states that the reason for requesting the revisions related to items (1) and (2) above are to reflect changes in the offsite organization for technical support and facility management and to reflect changes in titles of managuent positions at the plant staff level. Florida Power Corporation states that the reason for requesting changes in item (3) above is to bring the scope of activity of the Nuclear General Review Committee more closely into agreement with the requirements of the American Nuclear Society Standard ANSI N 18.7-1976. No reason was stated by Florida Power Corporation for the request in item (4) above related to the time specified for the preparaticn, approval and distribution of records of the activities of the Nuclear General E view Committee.
DISCUSSION With regard to the revisions in the offsite organization for technical support and facility management, Florida Power Corporation has reorganized the management at the corporate level such that the Director of Power Production now reports directly to a new management position of the Senior Vice President - Engineering and Construction. At the plant staff level the previous titles of Nuclear Plant Superintendent and Assistant Plant Superintendent have been changed to Nuclear Plant Manager and Assistant Plant Manager, respectively.

l (a) and (b) of Specification 6.5.2.8 which is slightly different than the wording in the current specification which is worded the same as the Standard Technical Specification. We cannot determine any substantive difference in the meaning of the proposed words from that currently in the Technical Specifications.

Florida Power Corporation has also proposed that item (i) of Specification This item requires that the Nuclear General Review 6.5.2.8 be deleted.

With regard to the records of the Nuclear General Review Comittee, Florida Power Corporation requested that items (a) and (b) of Specification 6.5.2.11 be revised to allow 30 days for the preparation, approval and distribution of The present the records of activities of the Nuclear General Review Comittee.

_ ___ --___ _____ _ e Comittee more closely in agreement with the requirements of ANSI N 18.7-1976.
We base determined that the current wording accomplishes the purpose as well as the proposed wording. Based on our determination we find that the change requested by Florida Power Corporation is not justified.
We evaluated the request by Florida Power Corporatiori to delete item (i) from Specification 6.5.2.8 which requires that the Nuclear General Review Comittee shall review the reports and meeting minutes of the Plant Review Comittee.
Although no reason was stated by Florida Power Corporaton in its application for the amendment, except that this review activity is not specified by ANSI N 18.7-1976, our discussions with representatives of Florida Power Corporation indicated that all pertinent reports were reviewed by the Nuclear General Review Comittee, and that the review of all reports and meeting minutes was an unnecessary administrative burden. One of the provisions of an independent review group is to have a mechanism for assuring that the independent group (Nuclear General Review Committee) is kept informed on a timely basis of mat;ters within the Comittee's scope of responsibility according to Section.4.2 of ANSI 18.7~1976. We consider the c.cmmittee's review of the reports and meeting minutes of the Planc Review Comi'. tee an important aspect in meeting this provision.
Florida Power Corporation has not provided an alternate means for meeting this provision. Therefore, we find that the deletion of this item is not warranted.
We have evaluated the request that the minutes of each Nuclear General Review Committee meeting and the reports of reviews by the Comittee as specified in item (a) and (b) of Specification 6.5.2.11 be prepared, approved and distributed in 30 days rather than the 14 days currently required by the Specification.
Florida Power Corporation has provided no basis for this proposed change in its application for an amendment. We have determined that 14 days provides for timely action with regard to these activities. The specified time has been accepted j
by licensees previously and is included in the Standard Technical Specifications.
In the absence of a justified exception or an acceptable alternative to this requirement, we find no reason to change this requirement.
DNIRONMENTAL CCNSIDERATICN We have determined that the amen nent does 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 amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4),
that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.

CO3CLUSICN We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) because the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the pro-bability or consequences of accidents previously considered or a significant decrease in any safety margin, it does not involve a significant hazards ccansideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not %.a endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities w dl be conducted in compliance with the Cannission's regulations and the issuant.e of this amendment will not be inimical to the cannon defense and securit3 or to the health and safety of the public.
