1.

The modification would not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safo#,y previously evaluated in the safety analysis report; 2.

The modification would not create a possibility for an accident or mal-function of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis ~ report; and 3.

The modification would not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the be~is for any Technical Specification.

4.

The modification does not involve an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 (a) or a change in Technical Specifications.
