')
.i j
The proposed License amendment would revise Facility' Operating License 2
No. NPF-86 to authorize a sale and leaseback transaction by UI as previously described. The License amendment would.be subject to the condition that neither the owner trustee nor the equity investors could exercise any control, either directly or indirectly, over (1) Seabrook Station Unit 1, (ii) power and energy.
produced by Seabrook Station Unit 1, or (iii) the licensees of Seabrook Station Unit 1.
PSNH, through its New Hampshire Yankee Division, would continue its present responsibility as-the. sole licensee authorized to' operate and neintain the plant and would remain exclusively responsible.for all' safety decisions.
l There would be no physical change to the plant, no change to. operating procedures, and no change to the operating organization or personnel as a result of the sale and leaseback transaction described in this Application. As such, the proposed change involves no significant hazards considerations.
The following discussion provides a specific analysis of-the proposed change against the three standards delineated in 10CFR50.92.
~
- (
(a) The proposed amendment to the License to reflect the sale and l
leaseback transaction does not involve a significant increase in the probability j.
j or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
The proposed amendment i
l would not result in any physical changes to the facility, and all Operating l
Procedures, Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting Safety. System Settings, l
and Safety Limits as specified in the Technical Specifications.to' Facility-Operating License No. NPF-86 will remain unchanged.
PSNH, through its New' Hampshire Yankee Division, will continue to be responsible for the operation of.
l' t

i the plant and there will be no changes made in the operating organization or the personnel as a result of the proposed sale and leaseback transaction.
(b).The proposed amendment'to authorize a' sale and leaseback transaction will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident'from any accident previously evaluated. The design and' design bases of Seabrook Station Unit'1 remains unchanged. Accordingly, the current plant' safety' analyses will.
temain complete and accurate when addressing the licensing bases and in L
analyzing plant response and consequences. Additionally, the Operating; Procedures, Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting: Safety System Settings, and Safety Limits as set out in Technical Specifications'for' Facility Operating.
License NPF-86 will remain unchanged.
Thus, the plant conditions for which the i
design bases and accident analyses were performed' continue to be valid.
t (c)
The proposed amendment of the License to authorize a sale and 1easeback transaction will not involve a significant reduction in the margin'of safety.
The plant safety margins for Seabrook Station Unit 1 are. established through Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting Safety System Settings, and Safety Limits, as contained in the Technical Specifications for' Facility L
Operating License NPF-86.
The proposed License amendment will effect no change i
in either the physical design of the plant or.any of these safety margins as
( _
specified in the Technical Specifications, and there will, accordingly. be no change to any of the margins of safety.
j As a result of the above analysis, it is concluded that the. proposed License amendment complies with the standards contained in 10CFR50.92(c) and, l
therefore, the amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
