NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON. D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 46 TO POSSESSION ONLY LICENSE NO. DPR-73 GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION l
THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATI0_Nm UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-320 1.0 JNTRODUCTION GPU Nuclear Corporation (GPUN or the licensee) requested, by letter dated March 17,1992, (Technical Specification Change Request No. 67), with Revision I dated June 18, 1992, and Revision 2 dated December 23, 1992, a change to the Appendix A and Appendix B Technical Specifications for the THI-2 plant (Facility License No. DPR-73) by relocating requirements related to radiological effluents to a new document called the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). On May 26, 1993, the NRC staff issued License Amendment No. 43 to GPUN approving the relocation of requirements related to radiological effluents for THI-2.
2.0 DISCUSSION GPUN, in a letter dated June 29,1993, (Technical Specification Change Request No. ?M requested a change to the Appendix A Technical Specifications for THI-2 to correct an oversight that was inadvertently omitted from Technical Specification Change Request No. 67, submitted by the licensee by letter dated March 17, 1992, as revised. Upon implementing License Amendment No. 43, issued by the NRC staff on May 26, 1993, the licensee discovered that a reference was not removed in the Appendix A Technical Specifications (ATS) to a section in the Appendix B Technical Specifications (BTS) that had been relocated to the ODCM by the license amendment. ATS Section 3.9.12 " Fuel Handling Building / Auxiliary Building Air Cleanup System", and its associated bases, Section 3/4.9.12 " Fuel Handling Building / Auxiliary Building Air Cleanup Systems", currently makes reference, in the two subsections of Section 3.9.12 and in Bases 3/4.9.12, to the " Appendix B Technical Specification Instantaneous Release Rate for Gaseous Effluents." License Amendment No. 43 relocated all reference to the instantaneous release rates for gaseous effluents in the BTS to the ODCM. The licensee proposes changing ATS Section 3.9.12, both Subsections 3.9.12.1 and 3.9.12.2, and Bases Section 3/4.9.12 to e
reference the instantaneous release rates for gaseous effluents currently located in the ODCM.

t 3.0 EVALUATION-The NRC staff has completed its review of the licensee amendment request and has determined that this is.an administrative change to correct an oversight related to >. previous license amendment request. The May 26, 1993 license amendment, issued by the NRC staff, addresses the safety and environmental considerations associated with the relocation of the requirements related to radiological effluents to the ODCM. Therefore, the staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission regulations, the State of Pennsylvania cognizant individual was notified of the proposed issuance of this amendment.
The State offici'al had no comment.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment involves a change in a specific reference in the Appendix A I
Technical Specifications. This amendment was submitted by the licensee to correct an administrative oversight related to a previous license amendment request. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves 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 change in individual cumulative occupational exposure or exposure to the public. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (58 FR 46235) dated September 1, 1993. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and 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 this amendment.
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 the proposed changes to the license, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or the health and safety of the public.
