Dear Mr. Withers:
The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 56 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-1 for Trojan Nuclear Plant. The amendment consists of changes to the operating license and appended Technical Specifications in response to your applications dated December 28, 1979 and October 31, 1980.
The amendment incorporates new requirements in the form of license conditions, limiting conditions for operation, and surveillance re-quirements for instruments and equipment as well as shift manning requirements resulting from the NRC's assessment of the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2.
By our letter of September 13, 1979, we issued new requirements to all operating nuclear power plants established as a result of our review of the TMI-2 accident.
Certain of these requirements, designated Lessons Learned Category "A" requirements, were to have been cogleted prior to any operation subsequent to January 1,1980.
Our evaluation and acceptance of your actions to comply with these Category "A" items was contained in our letter to you of April 23, 1980.
In order to provide reasonable assurance that operating reactor l
f acilities are maintained within the limits determined acceptable l
I following the implementation of these TMI-2 Lessons Learned Category "A" items, we requested that licensees include certain of these items in the operating license as license conditions and additional Technical Specifications. These requirments were contained in our letter to you of July 2,1980, which contained model requirements that we had determined to be acceptable.
Your request for amendment dated October 31, 1980, with an earlier l
amendment request dated December 28, 1979, is responsive to this request. Certain changes have been made to conform to our require-ments.
These have been discussed with, and accepted by, members of l
your staff. The issuance of this amendment acceptably resolves our requirements for license conditions and Technical Specifications for i
TMI-2 Lessons Learned Category "A" items for the Trojan Nuclear Plant. Our acceptance of these new requirements is documented -in s

. Evaluation letter of April 23, 1980 and our letter to y)u of July 2,1980, which, together with this letter, constitute our Safety Evaluation of this matter.
We have determined that the amendment does not authori;.e a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in powsr 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 environ-mental impact appraisal need not te prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
We have concluded that: (1) because the amendment does not involve a sionificant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in i
a safety margin, the amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
Sincerely, LT.,
