Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE BACKGROUND EXAMPLES CLINTON The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions,

Times, Surveillances, and logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.

Several levels of Actions.

These levels nesting) of the l ass to each may be used to state are identified by the placement (or connectors and by the number Action.

The first leve of logic is identified the first di of the number as to a Required Action and the acement of the logical connector in the first level of nest (i.e., left justified with the number of the Action).

The successive levels of additional s of the Required Action number successive indentions of the connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, ion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of is used, and the connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, ion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

While utilizing the Note, should a Condition be icable for any reason not addressed by the Note, the Completion Time begins.

Should the time allowance in the Note be exceeded, the Completion Time begins at that point.

The exceptions may also be into the Time.

In this case the Completion Time does not begin until the conditions in the Completion Time are satisfied.

CLINTON for each Condition starting from the discovery of the situation that required entry into the Condition, unless otherwise specified.

Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless speci lly stated.

The red Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with etion Times based on initial entry into the Condition, unless otherwise specified.

However, when a division, subsystem, component, or variable expres Condition is discovered to be or not within limits, the Completion Time(s) may be extended.

To apply this Completion Time extension, two criteria must first be met.

The subsequent lity:

a.

Must exist concurrent with the first and

b.

The total Completion Time allowed for completing a Action to address the subsequent lity shall be limited to the more restrictive of either:

b.

ion Time as measured from discovery lity.

The above Completion Time extension does not apply to those Specifications that have exceptions that allow separate re-entry into the Condition (for each division, subsystem, component, or variable expressed in the Condition) and separate tracking of Completion Times based on this re-entry.

These exceptions are stated in individual Specifications.

The above Completion Time extension does not to a Completion Time with a modified "time zero."

This modified "time zero" may be expressed as a repetitive time (i.e.,

To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only" red" when it can be and should be performed.

With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 no restriction.

The use of "met" or "performed" in these instances conveys specified meanings.

A Survei lance is "met" only when the acceptance criteria are satisfied.

Known failure of the requirements of a Surveillance, even without a Surveillance specifically being "performed," constitutes a Surveillance not "met."

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated June 25, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19176A498), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 (Braidwood); Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Byron); Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Calvert Cliffs); Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Clinton); Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Dresden); James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick);

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 (LaSalle); Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Limerick); Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 (NMP-1 and NMP-2, respectively);

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom); Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Quad Cities); and R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna) (the facilities). The amendments would revise the instrument testing and calibration definitions in the technical specifications (TSs) for each facility to incorporate the surveillance frequency control program (SFCP).

The proposed changes are primarily based on Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) traveler TSTF-563, Revision 0, Revise Instrument Testing Definitions to Incorporate the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (ADAMS Accession No. ML17130A819). The U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) approved TSTF-563, Revision 0, by letter dated December 4, 2019 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML18333A152). The TSTF-563, Revision 0, modifies instrument testing definitions in each of the current standard technical specifications (STS).1 The STS provide guidance on the format and content of TSs for each of the light-water reactor (LWR) nuclear steam supply systems.

Exelon also proposed changes to certain TS instrument testing definitions for Braidwood, Byron, Ginna, and NMP-1 based on portions of TSTF-205, Revision 3, Revision of Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, and Related Definitions (ADAMS Accession No. ML040570179), dated December 23, 1998. The changes described in TSTF-205, Revision 3, were approved by the NRC and are incorporated into the current STS.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1 Background

For each facility, the surveillance frequencies for instrument channels are specified within the SFCP and not explicitly stated in the TSs. The SFCP allows the licensee to change surveillance frequencies within the scope of the program using the NRC-approved methodology in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 04-10, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies, Revision 0 or Revision 1 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML062570416 and ML071360456, respectively), as applicable.

A typical instrument channel consists of several components, such as sensors, rack modules, and indicators. These components have different short-term and long-term performance (drift) characteristics, resulting in the potential for different calibration frequency requirements. Under the current TSs for each facility, the most limiting component calibration frequency for a channel must be chosen when an instrument channel surveillance frequency is changed under the SFCP. As a result, all components that make up a channel must be calibrated at a frequency equal to the channel component with the shortest (i.e., most frequent) surveillance frequency.

Some channel components, such as pressure transmitters, are very stable with respect to drift and could support a substantially longer calibration frequency than the other components in the channel. Currently, for many plants, the surveillance requirements (SRs) for instrument channels are performed in steps (e.g., a pressure sensor or transmitter is calibrated during a refueling outage and the rack signal conditioning modules are calibrated while operating at power). The proposed change would extend this concept to permit the surveillance frequency of each step to be determined under the SFCP based on the components surveilled in the step 1 NUREG-1430, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: Babcock and Wilcox Plants, Volume 1, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12100A177); NUREG-1431, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: Westinghouse Plants, Volume 1, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12100A222); NUREG-1432, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: Combustion Engineering Plants, Volume 1, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12102A165); NUREG-1433, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: General Electric BWR [Boiling-Water Reactor]/4 Plants, Volume 1, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12104A192); and NUREG-1434, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: General Electric BWR/6 Plants, Volume 1, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12104A195).

instead of all components in the channel. This would allow each component to be tested at the appropriate frequency based on the components long-term performance characteristics.

Allowing a different surveillance frequency for each component or group of components within an instrument channel could reduce radiation dose associated with in-place calibration of sensors, reduce wear on equipment, reduce unnecessary burden on plant staff, and reduce opportunities for calibration errors.

2.2 Description of the Proposed Changes The TSs for each facility include SRs to verify the correct functioning of certain instrument channels. As discussed above, these SRs are often performed in steps. The proposed changes would affect the surveillance frequency for performing channel calibrations, channel functional tests, channel operational tests (COTs), and trip actuating device operational tests (TADOTs) by revising the TS definitions for these tests. The revised test definitions would permit the surveillance frequency of each step to be determined under the SFCP based on the components surveilled in the step instead of all components in the channel. This would allow each component to be tested at the appropriate frequency based on the components long-term performance characteristics.

The defined terms to be revised for each facility are listed in Table 1. The definitions for channel calibration (or equivalent), channel functional test (or equivalent), COT, and TADOT are listed in Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

Braidwood, Byron, and Ginna Currently, the instrumentation testing definitions (see Table 1) typically state that the tests may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. With the proposed changes, the applicable instrumentation testing definitions for each facility would include this statement. The proposed changes would allow the licensee to control the frequency of associated components being tested in each step. The surveillance frequency of these steps would be established based on the characteristics of the components in the step rather than the most limiting component characteristics in the entire channel. The licensee will evaluate any changes to the surveillance frequency for each of these steps in accordance with the SFCP.

The SRs for the overall instrumentation channels would remain unchanged. The proposed changes have no effect on the design, fabrication, use, or methods of testing the instrumentation channels and will not affect the ability of the instrumentation to perform the functions assumed in the safety analyses.

2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.36(a)(1) requires each applicant for a license authorizing operation of a utilization facility to include proposed TSs in their application. The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(b) states that:

Each license authorizing operation of a utilization facility will include technical specifications. The technical specifications will be derived from the analyses and evaluation included in the safety analysis report, and amendments thereto, submitted pursuant to [10 CFR] 50.34[, Contents of applications; technical information.] The Commission may include such additional technical specifications as the Commission finds appropriate.

The categories of items required to be in the TSs are provided in 10 CFR 50.36(c). One such category is SRs, which are defined in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) as requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.

The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) requires TSs to include administrative controls, which are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner.

An NRC-approved SFCP using the NEI 04-10 methodology is a prerequisite for adopting TSTF-563. For each facility, a prior amendment (see Table 6) revised and relocated most periodic surveillance frequencies to licensee control. Changes to the relocated surveillance frequencies at each facility are made in accordance with the SFCP using the NRC-approved methodology in NEI 04-10. Therefore, the Exelon facilities meet the prerequisite for adopting TSTF-563.

The evaluations are based on operating experience, test history, manufacturers recommendations, codes and standards, and other deterministic factors, in conjunction with risk insights. The evaluation considers all components being tested by the SR. Process elements are included for determining the cumulative risk impact of the changes, updating the licensees probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models, and imposing corrective actions, if necessary, following implementation of a revised frequency.

The NRC staffs approval of NEI 04-10, Revision 0, was limited to boiling-water reactors (ADAMS Accession No. ML062700012). The NRC staffs approval of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, was not limited to a particular reactor type (ADAMS Accession No. ML072570267). Revision 1 of NEI 04-10 added guidance to permit the relocation of surveillance frequencies performed on a staggered test basis to the SFCP. The SFCP at Limerick uses the NEI 04-10, Revision 0, methodology, whereas the SFCPs at the other Exelon facilities all use the NEI 04-10, Revision 1, methodology. The differences between Revision 0 and Revision 1 of NEI 04-10 do not affect the applicability of TSTF-563.

The NRC staffs guidance for the review of TSs is in Chapter 16.0, Revision 3, Technical Specifications (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425), of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition. As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the staff has prepared improved STS (NUREG-1430 through NUREG-1434) for each of the LWR nuclear steam supply systems and associated balance-of-plant equipment systems. The licensees proposed amendments are based on TSTF-563, Revision 0, which is an NRC-approved change to the current STS. Accordingly, the staffs review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with the applicable reference STS (i.e., the current STS), as modified by NRC-approved TSTF travelers. In addition, the guidance states that comparing the change to previous STS can help clarify the TS intent.

Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, Revision 2, An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis (ADAMS Accession No. ML100910006), describes an acceptable risk-informed approach for assessing the nature and impact of proposed permanent licensing basis changes by considering engineering issues and applying risk insights. This RG also provides risk acceptance guidelines for evaluating the results of such evaluations.

RG 1.177, Revision 1, An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking:

Technical Specifications (ADAMS Accession No. ML100910008), describes an acceptable risk-informed approach specifically for assessing proposed TS changes.

RG 1.200, Revision 2, An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities (ADAMS Accession No. ML090410014),

describes an acceptable approach for determining the technical adequacy of PRAs.

The NRC staffs guidance for evaluating the technical basis for proposed risk-informed changes is provided in Section 19.2, Review of Risk Information Used to Support Permanent Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis: General Guidance (ADAMS Accession No. ML071700658), of NUREG-0800. The staffs guidance for evaluating PRA technical adequacy is provided in Section 19.1, Revision 3, Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial Fuel Load (ADAMS Accession No. ML12193A107), of NUREG-0800. More specific guidance related to risk-informed TS changes is provided in Section 16.1, Revision 1, Risk-Informed Decision Making: Technical Specifications (ADAMS Accession No. ML070380228), of NUREG-0800, which includes changes to surveillance frequencies as part of risk-informed decision-making.

Section 19.2 of NUREG-0800 references the same criteria as RG 1.177, Revision 1, and RG 1.174, Revision 2, and states that a risk-informed application should be evaluated to ensure that the proposed changes meet the following key principles:

1. The proposed change meets the current regulations, unless it explicitly relates to a requested exemption.
2. The proposed change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.
3. The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins.
4. When proposed changes result in an increase in core damage frequency or risk, the increase should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions Safety Goal Policy Statement (60 FR 42622).
5. The impact of the proposed change should be monitored using performance measurement strategies.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Variations from TSTF-563 The TSTF-563 proposed changes to the current versions of the STS. There are some differences between the current definitions for channel calibration (or equivalent), channel functional test (or equivalent), COT, and TADOT in the TSs for the Exelon facilities and the current versions of the STS. The application identified these differences as variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-563. For Braidwood, Byron, Ginna, and NMP-1, Exelon proposed to adopt part of TSTF-205, Revision 3, to eliminate some of these variations. The NRC staffs review of changes based on TSTF-205 is described in Section 3.2 of this safety evaluation (SE). The NRC staff determined that the remaining variations from TSTF-563 do not affect the applicability of TSTF-563 or the NRC staffs SE of TSTF-563 to the facilities.

3.2 Proposed Changes Based on TSTF-205 The STS definitions for a channel function test, COT, and TADOT were revised by TSTF-205, Revision 3. The changes included the addition of a sentence to each definition to clarify that the tests may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. Exelon proposed to add this sentence to the COT and TADOT definitions in the Braidwood, Byron, and Ginna TSs and the instrument channel test definition in the NMP-1 TSs.3 The current COT and TADOT definitions in the Braidwood, Byron, and Ginna TSs and the instrument channel test definition in the NMP-1 TSs permit the tests to be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. Therefore, the NRC staff finds this change acceptable because it clarifies the current definitions and does not change their intent.

The sentence added to the COT and TADOT definitions in the Braidwood and Ginna TSs and to the instrument channel test definition in the NMP-1 TSs is consistent with the wording in TSTF-205, Revision 3. However, the sentence added to the Byron COT and TADOT definitions does not include the comma after the word overlapping. With the additional change to the COT and TADOT definitions based on TSTF-563, the missing comma could cause confusion.

Therefore, the NRC staff will include a comma after the word overlapping in the revised Byron TS definitions of COT and TADOT issued with these amendments.

3.3 Proposed Changes Based on TSTF-563 Exelon may currently revise the surveillance frequency of instrumentation channels at its facilities using the SFCP. The testing of these channels may be performed by means of any series, sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. However, all required components in the instrumentation channel must be tested for the entire channel to be considered operable.

Instrument channel surveillances are commonly performed using separate procedures based on the location of the components. Each of these procedures may be considered a step, and the combination of related procedures is used to satisfy the SR. The proposed changes would allow Exelon to determine an acceptable surveillance frequency for each step, rather than a single surveillance frequency for the entire channel.

Revising the frequency of a channel calibration (or equivalent), channel functional test (or equivalent), COT, or TADOT under the SFCP, using the NEI 04-10 methodology, requires assurance that component performance characteristics, such as drift between tests, will not result in undetected instrument errors that exceed the assumptions of the safety analysis and supporting instrument loop uncertainty calculations. The SFCP cannot be used to change the TS allowable values or nominal trip setpoints for instrument channels. Therefore, prior to extending the test interval for an instrument channel component, the component performance characteristics must be evaluated to: (1) verify that the allowable value or nominal trip setpoint for the instrument channel will remain valid and (2) establish a firm technical basis supporting the extension. In addition, each change must be reviewed by the licensee to ensure that the applicable uncertainty allowances (e.g., sensor drift, rack drift, indicator drift) are conservative (bounding). Documentation to support the changes must be retained per the methodology in NEI 04-10.

3 The instrument channel test definition in the NMP-1 TSs is equivalent to the channel functional test definition in the STS.

The method of evaluating a proposed surveillance frequency change is not dependent on the number of components in the channel. Each step needs to be evaluated to determine the acceptable surveillance frequency for that step. For example, an evaluation in accordance with NEI 04-10 may determine that a field sensor (e.g., a transmitter) should be calibrated every 48 months, that the rack modules should be calibrated every 30 months, and that the indicators should be calibrated every 24 months. Under the current TS requirements, all devices in the channel must be calibrated every 24 months. However, under the proposed change, sensors, rack modules, and indicators would be calibrated at the appropriate frequency for the tested devices. As required by the channel calibration definition, the test would still encompass all devices in the channel required for channel operability. The proposed amendments do not change the test or evaluation method for channel components. The requirement to perform a channel calibration (or equivalent), channel functional test (or equivalent), COT, or TADOT on the entire channel is not changed.

As discussed in Section 2.3 of this SE, the NRC staff evaluates risk-informed applications against five key principles. Principal 3 states that the proposed change must maintain sufficient margins of safety. The TSTF-563 states that, in this case, principal 3 is demonstrated by the performance of deterministic evaluations to verify preservation of instrumentation trip setpoint and indication safety margins. Step 7 of the SFCP change process in NEI 04-10 requires, in part, that the licensee document that assumptions in the plant licensing basis would not be invalidated when performing the surveillance at the bounding interval limit for the revised surveillance frequency. The evaluation methodology in NEI 04-10 also requires the consideration of common-cause failure effects and the monitoring of the component performance following the frequency change to ensure that channel performance is consistent with the analysis to support an extended frequency. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that sufficient margins of safety will be maintained with the proposed changes because the licensee must use the NEI 04-10 methodology to evaluate changes to surveillance frequencies for instrument channel components.

The guidance in RG 1.200 states that the quality of a licensees PRA should be commensurate with the safety significance of the proposed TS change and the role the PRA plays in justifying the change. For each facility, the NRC staff reviewed the quality of the PRA used for the SFCP as part of the staffs review of the SFCP amendments (see Table 6). Exelon is not proposing to change the methodology, acceptance criteria, or PRA used for the SFCP with this application.

Therefore, the staffs previous conclusions regarding the PRA quality, as documented in the SEs for the adoption of the SFCP, are unaffected by this proposed change.

The NRC staffs SE for TSTF-563 found the traveler to be acceptable for use by plants which have an approved SFCP that uses the NEI 04-10 methodology. In addition, the staff found that changes to the surveillance frequency for individual steps can be appropriately evaluated with the currently approved SFCPs and associated PRAs.

The instrument function may be modeled in the PRA differently depending on the site and the function (e.g., channels may be modeled individually, subsets may be modeled, or the channel function may be modeled as a single entity). There are different steps in the NEI 04-10 methodology that could be used depending on the specific PRA modeling approach. The NEI 04-10 methodology includes the determination of whether the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) affected by a proposed change to a surveillance frequency are modeled in the PRA. If the SSC is directly or implicitly modeled, a quantitative evaluation of the risk impact may be performed. The methodology adjusts the failure probability of the impacted SSCs based on the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. If the SSC is not modeled in the PRA, bounding analyses are performed to characterize the impact of the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Potential impacts on the risk analyses due to screening criteria and truncation levels are addressed by the requirements for PRA technical adequacy, consistent with the guidance contained in RG 1.200, and by sensitivity studies identified in NEI 04-10.

The NEI 04-10 methodology also includes requirements for determining the cumulative risk impact of surveillance frequency changes, updating the PRA, and imposing corrective actions, if needed, following implementation. Before a surveillance frequency can be changed, Step 7 of the methodology requires, in part, consideration of the following: surveillance test and component history of the components, industry and plant-specific experience, impact on defense-in-depth, vendor recommendations, and test frequencies specified in applicable codes and standards. As noted above, Step 7 also requires the licensee to document that assumptions in the plant licensing basis would not be invalidated.

Step 16 of NEI 04-10 requires an independent decision-making panel (IDP) to review and approve (or disapprove) proposed changes to surveillance frequencies. The IDP is composed of the site maintenance rule expert panel, surveillance test coordinator, and subject matter expert (e.g., a cognizant system manager or component engineer). Consistent with RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, the IDP also reviews the cumulative impact of all surveillance frequency changes made over a period of time. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that the impact of changes to surveillance frequencies for instrument channel components will be appropriately monitored.

With the proposed changes, Exelon must evaluate changes in the frequency for performing each of the steps in the instrumentation surveillance test using the methodology in NEI 04-10.

Exelon is not proposing changes to the NEI 04-10 methodology or acceptance criteria for revising surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. The NRC staff finds it acceptable for Exelon to adopt TSTF-563 at its facilities because each facility has an NRC-approved SFCP that uses the NEI 04-10 methodology.

The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36 require, in part, that TSs include SRs, but the regulations are not specific regarding surveillance frequencies. The proposed changes only affect the surveillance frequency for instrument channel components. The proposed changes do not alter the NEI 04-10 methodology, surveillance testing methods, or acceptance criteria for surveillances. With the proposed changes, the TSs will continue to specify the appropriate SRs for tests and inspections of instrument channels to ensure that the necessary quality of affected SSCs is maintained. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that the proposed changes are consistent with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.36.

Additionally, the NRC staff reviewed the revised TSs and found them to be technically clear and consistent with customary terminology and format in accordance with Chapter 16.0 of NUREG-0800. The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes against the regulations and concludes that the revised TSs will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(b),

50.36(c)(3), and 50.36(c)(5), for the reasons discussed above. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed TS changes are acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commissions regulations, the Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on January 30, 2019. The State officials had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments change requirements with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (84 FR 45540; August 29, 2019). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
