SAFETY EVALVATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 76 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-62
.[LLINOIS POWER COMPANY S0YLAND POWER COOPERATIVE. INC.
CLINTON POWER STATION. UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-461 1.0 INTRODUCTIO_]j By letter dated February 11, 1993, the Illinois Power Company (IP, the licensee) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for the Clinton Power Station (CPS). The proposed amendment will change Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.1.7, " Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report," to comply with the amended 10 CFR 50.36a requirements which change the submittal frequency of the report from semiannually to annually.
Additionally, the proposed change will adjust the period of time allowed for submitting each report from 60 days to 90 days after January 1 of each year.
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed changes revise those CPS TS involving the Semiannual Raditactive Effluent Release Report in order to be consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a concerning submittal frequency. The licensee is proposing the following changes:
a.
Throughout CPS TS the subject report is currently referred to by the name
" Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report." References to this report within TS 6.9.1.7 and in other sections of the TS listed below will now be revised to refer to the " Radioactive Effluent Release Report."
1.
INDEX:
6.9.1, " Routine Reports";
2.
TS 1.26:
"Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)";
3.
TS 3.7.7:
" Liquid Storage Tanks," ACTION a; 4.
TS 6.9.1.7:
" Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report";
5.
TS 6.14:
"Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (0DCM)."
b.
TS 6.9.1.7, " Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report," is being revised to replace the requirement that the Radioactive Effluent Release Report cover the previous "6 months" of operation with the requirement i

, that the report cover the previous "12 months" of operation.
Additionally, the requirement to submit the report "within 60 days after i
January 1 and July 1 of each year" will be revised to read "within 90 days after January 1 of each year "
The staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed changes and determined that they meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a which became effective on October 1, 1992 (57 FR 39353). The time of year or ' period of time permitted
~,
for submitting the report following the period of operation addressed by the report are not specified in 10 CFR 50.36a.
The staff initially endorsed.a reporting time of "within 90 days after January 1 of each year" which'is similar to that proposed by the licensee.
However, it was subsequently determined that this was unnecessarily restrictive and the staff now proposes-relaxing this reporting time to " prior to May 1 of each year." Following discussion with the licensee, the staff has extended this increased flexibility to the licensee's submittal. Therefore, based upon our review, the staff finds that the licensee's preposal in this area is consistent with generic guidance currently being developed by the NRC. The staff, therefore, 4
finds the licensee's proposed changes acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official
,l had no comments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment changes recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
Pursuant to 10' CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
5.0 CONCLUSION
The staff 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, (?) 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 defense and security or to the health and safety of the puolic.
