SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 19 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE HPF-9 DUKE POWER COMPANY INTRODUCTION By letter dated February 18, 1983, the Duke Power Company (the licensee) requested that the McGuire Unit 1, License No. NPF-9, be amended to incorporate the Technical Specifications developed for the McGuire Unit 2, License No. NPF-17, Appendix A, into the McGuire 1 license to supercede the existing Technical Specifications.
BACKGROUND The McGuire Unit 2 License No. HPF-17 was issued on March 3,1983. The Technical Specifications appended to the McGuire Unit 2 license were developed to include all required items for both McGuire Units 1 and 2 using the most recent version of the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications. HUREG-0452, Revision 4, as guidance.
These combined Technical Specifications apply, as appropriate, to both McGuire Units 1 and 2.
EVALUATION
'In the development of the Technical Specifications for the McGuire Unit 2 license, the objective of the staff and licensee was to combine the requirements for McGuire Units 1 and 2 into a single Technical Specification document to be appended to each license. Since the most recent version of the " Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors", NUREG-0452, Revision 4, was used to develop the combined McGuire Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications, the McGuire Unit 1 Technical Specifications have been upgraded to the current standards.
Because the McGuire Unit 1 Technical Specifications were upgraded, some systems and components have new Surveillance Requirements which cannot be performed during oper-ation of McGuire Unit 1.
We have evaluated these new requirements and agree with the licensee that these additional surveillance requirements need not be implenented immediately, but should be performed no later than after the first refueling. Based on our review, we conclude that the requested amendnent to the McGuire Unit 1 license to incorporate the combined McGuire Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications to super-cede the existing McGuire Unit 1 Technical Specifications does not result in a reduction in safety and is acceptable.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION We have determined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any signif-icant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further con-cluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the stand-point of environmental 1.mpact and, pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4), that an environ-mental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of 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 con-sequences of accidents previously considered, does not create the possibility of an accident of a type different from any evaluated previously, 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 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.
