ATTACliMENT B Safety Evaluation Proposed Change Request No. 78, Revision 1 amends our existing sub-mittal for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No.1 Technical Specifications, Appendix A concerning the addition of hydraulic snubbers to Table 3.7-4a, Safety Related Hydraulic Snubbers Description and Purpose of Change This revision to proposed Change Request No. 78 incorporates the hydraulic snubbers located 'on that portion of the main feedwater piping upstream of the auxiliary feedwater piping and which are nec-essary to prevent pipe whip damage during a seismic event.
Basis 1.
Is the probability of an occurrence or the consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety as previously evaluated in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) increased? JJo Reason:
The change being made to Table 3.7-4a, Safety Related Hydraulic Snubbers is adminstrative in nature and is not a physical change to the plant safety related systems, structures or components.
This change will not affect the operation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System as described in UFSAR Section 10.3.5.2.2 and will not affect any accident previously evaluate.1 in j
Section 14 of the UFSAR.
2.
Is the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different j
type than any previously evaluated in the UFSAR created? JJo Reason:
This change is administrative and not a physical change i
to plant safety related systems, structures or components, therefore, this change will not create a new type of accident nor affect any of the UFSAR sections addressed above.
3.
Is the margin of safety as defined in the BASES for any Technical Specification reduced? J{o_
Reason:
The administrative change to Table 3.7-4a will not l
affect the margin of safety as defined in the bases of any section of the Technical Specifications.
(
4.
Based on the above, is an unreviewed safety question involved?
11 0
\\
r CONCLUSION The revision to Change Request No. 78, previously submitted November 23, 1982, is administrative in nature and does not involve physical change to plant safety related systems, components or structures, will not increase the likelihood of a malfunction of safety related equiprcat.
increase the consequences of an accident previously analyzed, nor create the possibility of a malfunction different than previously evaluated in the UFSAR.
Therefore, it is concluded that, since this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question in accordance with 10 CFR 59.59, this change does not consititute a significant hazards consideration. We have determined that this revision will not authorize a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of effluents or in the authorized power level and will not result in any significant environ-mental impact.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.5(d)(4) no environmental impact statement, negative declaration or environmental impact appraisal is required.
The OSC and ORC have reviewed this proposed revision, and based on the above safety evaluation, it is concluded there is reasonable assurance that the public health and safety will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner.
