BEAVER VALLEY - UNIT 1 6-11 PROPOSED WORDING

I ATTACHMENT B Proposed Change Request No. 83 revises the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 1 Technical. Specifications Appendix A, Section 6 concerning OSC and ORC membership reorganization and to comply with Ceneric Letters 82-17 and 82-23.

Generic Letter 82-17 requires compliance with 10 CFR 50.54(t) in that each licensee shall provide for an independent review of its emergency preparedness program at least every 12 months. To comp 1i Section 6.5.2.8(e) of the Technical Specifications has been revised to require that an audit shall be performed of the Facility Emergency Plan and implementing procedures at least once per 12 months under the cognizance of the ORC.

Generic Letter 82-23 requires compliance with 10 CFR 73.40(d) l in that each licensee shall provide for an independent review of its safeguards contingency plan at least every 12 months. To comply Section 6.5.2.8(f) of the Technical Specification has been revised to require that an audit shall be performed of the Facility Security Plan and implementing procedures at least once per 12 moaths under the cognizance of the ORC.

Sections 6.5.1.6(1) and (j) have been deleted to reduce duplication of requirements. Review of the Plant Security Plan and implementing procedures 6.5.1.6(i) and review of the Emergency Plan and implementing procedures 6.5.1.6(j) are included under OSC review responsibility in Section 6.5.1.6(a), which requires the OSC to review all procedures required by Specification 6.8. Section 6.8 Procedures, requires pro-cedures to be established, implemented and maintained for:

6.8.l(d) Security Plan Implementation 6.8.l(e) Emergency Plan Implementation Seccion 6.5.1.2 OSC Membership, has been revised to include the Quality Control Engineer.

Section 6.5.2.2 ORC Membership, has been revised so that the ORC is now chaired by the Vice President, Nuclear Division. Other members have been changed to incorporate positions that have been filled as a result of the Nuclear Division reorganization.

Section 6.5.2.9 Authority, has been revised so that the Vice Preaident, l Nuclear Division has the responsibility for ORC authority.

L

i 2-Section 6.5.2.10 Records, has been revised in sub-sections a and b so that the ORC Chairman is responsible for approving ORC minutes and reports of reviews encompassed by Section 6.5.2.7. Sub-section d was revised so that the Vice President, Nuclear Division reviews all ORC recommenda tions.

The revisions requested by this proposed Technical Specification Change do not increase the probability of an accident nor the con-sequences of an accident nor create the possibility of an accident different from those analyzed in the FSAR. The margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification is not reduced.

The OSC and ORC have reviewed this proposed change and based on the above safety evaluation, it is concluded there is reasonable assurance that the public hesith and safety will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner.
