SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NOS. 157 AND 138 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N05. DPR-70 AND DPR-75 1
PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY DELMARVA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION. UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 l.0 INTRODUCTION By letter dated May 25, 1994, the Public Service Electric & Gas Company (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. I and 2, Technical Specifications (TS).
The requested changes would remove the specific radiation monitor numbers from the following i
TS Tables:
1.
Table 3.3-6, Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation.
2.
Table 4.3-3, Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation Surveillance Requirements.
3.
Table 3.3-12, Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation.
4.
Table 4.3-12, Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Surveillance Requirements.
5.
Table 3.3-13, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation.
6.
Table 4.313, Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Surveillance Requirements.
In addition, the Bases section will be modified to include a cross reference to the specific radiation hanitor number that corresponds to the functional description of the radiation monitor.

. 2.0 EVALUATION Current Salem TS include a functional description of the radiation monitor as well as a specific number designator of the radiation monitor. When monitors are changed or upgraded, the licensee changes the number designator to ensure proper configuration control. As the TS are currently written, whenever the number changes, an amendment to the TS would be required.
The licensee has proposed to delete the number designators from the TS and leave the functional description. A cross reference that would identify the specific instrument number with the functional description woulo be added to the Bases. There is no change to the function, functional description, or number of radiation monitors proposed. This change would alleviate the need to submit an amendment request when the specific instrument numbers change.
By adding the cross reference to the Bases, control would still be maintained through the process described in 10 CFR 50.59.
l In addition, the # note associated with Table 3.3-6 would be changed to provide a better description of the referenced radiation monitor.
The above changes are editorial in that no requirement has been changed.
The staff finds these changes acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New Jersey State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR l
Part 20 and also change the Bases. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant t
change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (59 FR 34668). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
)
5.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such
l
' activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
