DOCKET NO. 50-346 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT s
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuanceofanexemptionfromtherequirementsof10CFR55.59(a)(2)to ToledoEdisonCompanyandtheClevelandElectricilluminatingCompany(the licensees),fortheDavis-BesseNuclearPowerStation,UnitNo.1 located
[
in Ottawa County, Ohio.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ldentification of Proposed Action The proposed exemption would allow, for those reactor operators and senior reactor operators who have successfully' passed the May 1990 NRC Requalification Examination, a 6-month, one-time extension to the scheduled requalification examinations administered by Toledo Edison, in accordance with10CFR55.59(a)(2). These operators will continue to attend scheduled training and meet all other requirements for satisfactory completion of the requalification programs, t
Those reactor operators and senior reactor operators who fail i the May 1990 NRC Requalification Examination are not included in-the exemption.
The proposed action is in accordance with 10 CFR 55.11, Specific Exenptions, and is based upon the information provided to the NRC in the 1
L licensee's request dated April 20, 1990.
P
2 i
I The Need for the Proposed Action The proposed exemption is needed to avoid operators' duplicate effort i
because of the misaligned schedules between the NRC-administered and i
Toledo Edison-administered requalification examinations.
]
f Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The proposed action will have no incremental impact relative to current practice because the exemption will avoid duplicate effort from the operators and will achieve the goals of the requalification examinations.
Alternative to the Proposed Action Since the Commission has concluded that the environmental effects of i
the proposed action are not significant, any alternative wi+' equel or r
greater environmental impacts need not be evaluated.
The principal alternative would be to deny the requested exemption.
This would not reduce the environmental impacts attributable to this facility and would result in operators taking requalification examinations in May and November of 1990.
Alternative Use of Resources 1
This action does not involve the use of resources not previously considered in the Final Environmental Statement related to operation of the Davis-Besse facility, Agencies and Persons Consulted The Commission's staff reviewed the licensee's request and did not consult other agencies or persons.
h
e,
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption.
Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, we conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the request for exemption dated April 20, 1990 which is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
and at the University of Toledo Library, Documents Department, 2801 Bancroft Avenue. Toledo, Ohio 43606.
