The amendment consist of additions to the Technical Specifications to provide greater assurance that redundancy in decay heat removal capability will be maintained in all modes of operation.
Our review of your application has found the proposed changes to be acceptable because they are in accordance with the guidance provided and satisfactorily resolve the concerns stated in our letter on this subject dated June 11, 1980.
We have evaluated the potential for environmental impact of plant operation in accordance with the enclosed amendment and have deter-mined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluert types or total amounts nor an increase in power level, and will not resalt in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, ae have further concluded that the amendment invcives an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environnental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement, negative declaration or environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in cc.inection with the issuanca of this amendment.

It does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and therefore does not involve a significant hazards consideratien. We have ale' concluded that therc is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by this action.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
