SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION l

SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 86 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-12 SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-395

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated August 10, 1989, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (the licensee) submitted a proposed change to Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.7.11, Area Temperature Monitoring, of the V. C. Sumer Nuclear l

Station, Unit No. 1 (Summer). The purpose of the TS amendment request was to renumber the TS, as a result of the changes which were implemented in Amendment No. 79. Clarifying information was submitted on December 11, 1989 reformatted the information contained in the amendment request submitted on August 10.

2 2.0 EVALUATION The ' issuance of Amendment No. 79 to the Sumer operating license resulted in the removal of Fire Protection sections 3/4.7.9 and 3/4.7.10. The licensee's submittal for Amendment 79, which requested deletion of these sections, did not propose renumbering of the TS 3/4.7.11. The licensee's August 10, 1989 submittal corrects this oversight.

The staff has reviewed the licensee's submittal. The amendment request is administrative in nature and does not affect or endenger public health or safety. Therefore, the staff has determined that th'e

  • censee's request is acceptable.

installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted l

area as defined in the 10 CFR Part 20 and changes to the Surveillance Requirement. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the l

types of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is t

i O no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and the has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibilit criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Section 51.22(y)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact c

statement or environmental assessment need to be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.

4.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has issued a " Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to facility Operating License and Propose No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing" which was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on January 10, 1990 (55 FR 939) and consulted with the State of South Carolina.

No public comments or request for hearing were received, and the State of South Carolina did not have comments.

The staff has concluded, based upon the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the ublic will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and i

p(2) 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.
