6 l

I

Description of Change TVA proposes to modify the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Units 1 and 2 technical specifications (TSs) to revise Section 6.0, Administrative Controls, to increase the interval for submittal of radioactive effluent release reports under 10 CFR 50.36a(a)(2) from semiannually to annually as follows:

+

Definition 1.18, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), page 1-4 Change " Semiannual" to " Annual" in the last sentence so that it reads:

"The ODCM shall also... the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating and Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by Specifications 6.9.1.6 and 6.9.1.8."

i Section 6.9.1.8, Unit 1, page 6-20 and Unit 2, page 6-21 Change heading " SEMIANNUAL" to " ANNUAL" Change first sentence to read:

"The Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report covering the operation of the unit during the previous 12 months of operation shall be submitted annually." After the first sentence add the following, "The time between submission of report must be no longer than 12 months."

Section 6.14.1.3, Unit 1, page 6-25 and Unit 2, page 6-26 Change " Semiannual" to " Annual" in the first sentence so that it reads:

"Shall be submitted to the Commission in the form of a complete, legible copy of the entire ODCM as a part of or concurrent with the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period of the report in which any change to the ODCM was made."

Section 6.15.1.1, Unit 1, page 6-26 and Unit 2, page 6-27 Change " Semi-Annual" to " Annual" in the first sentence so that it reads:

i "Shall be reported to the Commission in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the evaluation was reviewed in accordance with Section 6.5.1A."

Egason for Change The reason for the proposed change is to revise SQN TS reporting requirements associated with the radioactive effluent release report to be consistent with the August 31, 1992, NRC revision to regulations as published in the Federal Register (57 FR 39353). This NRC action was taken in response to a presidential memorandum requesting federal i

agencies review and modify regulations that would eliminate unnecessary burden of governmental regulation. NRC's committee to review generic requirements identified this as one of eight areas where regulations could be revised to reduce the regulatory burden, without reducing the protection for public health and safety or the common defense and security.

i Justification for Change On August 31, 1992, NRC issued revisions to regulations (57 FR 39353) that increased the interval for submittal of radiological effluent reports under 10 CFR 50.36a from semiannually to annually. This requested change is administrative in nature in that the purpose is to incorporate NRC-approved changes that are intended to reduce the regulatory burden on licensees.

In response to comment No. 8 in the Federal Register Notice (57 FR 39353), NRC responded:

"The proposed amendments are generic and licensee may request administrative amendments to any conflicting license condition or technical specification as needed."

EnviXQDmCILtal_ Impact Eva1uation The proposed change request does not involve an unreviewed environmental

[

question because operation of SQN Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this change would not:

1.

Result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) as modified by NRC's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmental impact appraisals, or decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.

2.

Result in a significant change in effluents or power levels.

i 3.

Result in matters not previously reviewed in the licensing basis for SQN that may have a significant environmental impact.

Significant liazards Evaluation

^

TVA has evaluated the proposed technical specification (TS) change and has determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration based on criteria established in 10 CFR 50.92(c).

Operation of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) in accordance with the proposed amendment will not:

1.

Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The changes proposed are administrative, intended to implement changes to x.alations, and reduce the regulatory burden on licensees.

.ere is no effect on the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2.

Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously analyzed.

The changes are administrative only, therefore they do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident.

3.

Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

i 1

The margin of safety as defined in the basis for the technical l

specifications has not been affected because no margin of safety is defined for the administrative controls section of the TS.
