ENCLOSURE 3 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR ~ REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 211 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-52 AMENDMENT NO.168 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Nn. DPR-68 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT. UNITS 2 AND 3 DOCKET NOS. 50-260 AND 50-296
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated August 25, 1992, as supplemented December 23, 1992, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted proposed amendments to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Units 2 and 3.
The proposed amendments consist of administrative changes developed from TVA's resolution of a Human Engineering Discrepancy identified during review of the BFN control room design.
TVA has proposed to revise the indication range for the BFN Unit 2 and 3 drywell pressure recorders, and to correct labeling of various recorders.
The proposed TS changes submitted by the December 23, 1992 supplement, were administrative in nature and only effected BFN, Unit 2.
They merely revised the labeling (i.e., unit identification number) for the high range primary containment radiation recorders as listed in TS Tables 3.2.F and 4.2.F.
As such, these changes are within the scope of the staff's initial determination of no significant hazards consideration.
2.0 EVALUATION TVA has proposed to revise the indicating range of drywell pressure indicators and recorders described in TS Table 3.2.F from 0 to 80 psia (pounds per square inch, absolute) to -15 to 65 psig (pounds per square inch, gauge).
The revised indicating range is virtually equivalent to the existing range.
Therefore, the staff finds this proposed change acceptable.
TVA has also proposed additional administrative changes correcting the labeling of various recorders in BFN Unit 2 and 3 TS Tables 3.2.F and in BFN Unit 2 Table 4.2.F, and to relocate an instrument within BFN Unit 2 Table 3.2.F.
These administrative changes make the BFN Unit 2 and 3 T$ consistent with the actual plant configurations, and are therefore acceptable.

[tVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION 4.0 j
The amendments revise requirements with respect to the use and surveillance of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that these amendments involve no l
significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be release 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 amendment changes involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (57 FR 48828). 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 environment assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
5.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, i
that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will no be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common i
defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
