t UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ,
LONG ISLAND POWER AUTHORITY SHOREHAM UCLEAR POWER STATION DOCKET NO. 50-322 !
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ,
The U.S. Nuclear Regul atory Commission is considering issuance of a schedular exemption from the revised requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 to the Code of Federal Reaulations to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA or the licensee) for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS) pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2301. ,
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Identification of Proposed Action:
As of January 1, 1994, tne revised 10 CFR Part 20 becomes mandatory. The ,
approval of the schedular exemption would permit LIPA to continue the ongoing ;
decommissioning of SNPS without implementing the revised 10 CFR Part 20, and O .
effect continue decommissioning for 2 years beyond January 1, 1994, under the radiation protection provisions of 10 CFR 20.1 through 20.601. LIPA began f
dismantlement of SNPS following the NRC's issuance of the Order to Authorize Decommissioning, June 11, 1992. By January 1,1994, LIPA will have completed approximately 90 percent of the decommissioning of SNPS. LIPA anticipates that !
the SNPS license will be terminated and the facility released for unrestricted release in late 1995. <

The Need for the ProDosed Action: ,
A schedular exemption would eliminate the required implementation of the -
revised 10 CFR Part 20 requirements by January 1, 1994, and allows LIPA to ;
continue the decommissioning of SNPS under the current radiation protection provisions of 10 CFR Parts 20.1 through 20.601 for 24 months beyond January 1, 1994. The NRC has determined that granting the proposed schedular exemption ,
would continue to ensure adequate protection of the workers and the public arid without unjustifiably increasing the licensee's decommissioning cost. Actual exposures experienced for the 75 percent completed decommissioning of SNPS, using the current SNPS radiation protection program, is 2.7 person-rems, and the total f estimated exposure to complete the decommissioning of SNPS is estimated to be 4.5 !
- person-rems, compared with a total estimated exposure in the Decommissioning Plan 1 (DP) of 189 person-rems. The current radiation protection program has proven to be extremely effective in ensuring radiation exposures to workers are maintained at a small fraction of the 10 CFR Part 20 limits and the estimated person-rem exposures calculated and provided in the licensee's decommissioning plan. LIPA ;
estimates the 1994 exposure to complete the decommissioning of SNPS will be less than 0.3 person-rem. The maximum exposure received during the decommissiv.?'g program to date by any worker was 0.045 rem per quarter. The average individual i
exposure was 0.00026 rem per quarter. These individual exposures are well within ,
the 10 CFR Part 20 quarterly dose limits, and within the revised 10 CFR Part 20 -
limit of 5 rems. Thus, the intent of the revised Part 20 would be realized and l there would be no apparent benefit to worker and public by requiring the [
implementation of the revised 10 CFR Part 20. f i
i
3 Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action:
The proposed action to allow LIPA to continue the decommissioning of SNPS using the provisions of 10 CFR 20.1 through 10 CFR 20.601, through 1995, will have no significant environmental impact. However, if circumstances cause activities related to decommissioning to extend beyond 1995, LIPA will be required to implement the revised 10 CFR Part 20. The staff initially evaluated ]
1 the decommissioning of SNPS before issuing the June 11, 1992, Order to !
Decommission, and concluded that the decommissioning of~ SNPS, based on the current radiation protection requirements of 10 CFR 20.1 through 40 CFR 20.601, would have no significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
Granting this schedular exemption would not alter that conclusion.
A schedular exemption from the provisions of the revised 10 CFR Part 20 will not affect plant non-radiological effluents and thus has no adverse environmental impact. In addition, the proposed schedular exemption will not authorize changes related to licensed activities or effect changes to the Technical Specifications with regard to allowable types or amounts of radiological effluents. With regard to potential radiological and non-radiological impacts, the NRC concludes that there are no measurable radiological or non-radiological impacts associated with this schedular exemption. l i
Alternatives to the Proposed Action:
Since the NRC concluded that there are no significant environmental effects that would result from the proposed action, any alternatives with equal or greater environmental impacts necd not be evaluated.

4 Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously t
considered in the Final Environmental Statement for SNPS.
Aaencies and Persons Consulted:
The licensee initiated this exemption request. The NRC staff has reviewed their request. The State of New York was notified of the proposed exemption.
The State Official declined to comment.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: ,
Based upon this environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the NRC has determined not to prepare an environmental l
impact statement for the proposed exemption. ,
