INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET NO. 50-247
[
Introduction By letter dated Decenber 16, 1974 we requested that Consolidated Edison j
Company of New York (the licensee) propose a license amendment with changes to the Technical Specifications to incorporate generalized provisions for possession and use of byproduct, source and special nuclear materials. The license listed each item separately, thereby requiring a license amendment for almost any change in licensed materials.
By letter dated March 21, 1978 the licensee requested a license amendment and changes to the Technical Specifications in response to our request.
l Evaluation e
The proposed license amendtr.ent replaces the detailed list with more general-ized provisions for possession and use of sealed byproduct, source and special nuclear material sources. The proposed change in the Technical Specifications assures that the leakage fran these sealed sources does not exceed the allow-able limits specified in the Code of Federal Regulations.
- It should be noted that the proposed amendment relates only to sealed sources
}
and does not involve an increase in the amount of special nuclear material as reactor fuel.
r Environmental Consideration t
We have determined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluent i
types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will n:t result in any significant envirorriental impact. Having made this detennination, we have i

2-i further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is i
insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, t
pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact ap-praisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of l
this amendment.
Conclusion We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) because the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the amendment does not. involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance ~ that the health and safety of the l
public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's
[
regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
