ATTACHMENT 1 PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS LICENSE ANENDMENT APPLICATION CRANGE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS TO REFLECT ORGANI2ATIONAL CHANGES FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-57 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION NLR-N94225 DOCKET NO. 50-354 LCR 94-35 I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed amendment would revise the Administrative Controls Section (6.0) of the Technical Specifications (TS) for Hope Creek Generating Station to reflect organizational changes and resultant management title changes. As indicated on the marked-up pages in Attachment 2, PSE&G requests that:

1) Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer will be replaced with Chief Nuclear Officer and President -

Nuclear Business Unit in TS G.1.2, 6.2.1.c, 6.5.2.4.3.g, 6.5.2.4.4.a, 6.5.2.4.4.b, 6.5.2.6, 6.6.1.b, 6.7.1.a, and 6.7.1.c.

2) Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer will be replaced with Vice President - Nuclear Operations in TS 6.5.1.8.b, and 6.5.1.9.

3) In addition, General Manager - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety will be replaced with Director - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review in TS 6.5.1.8.b, 6.5.1.9, 6.5.2.2, 6.5.2.4.3.g, 6.7.1.a, 6.7.1.c.

II. REASON FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGER These changes are necessary because the Nuclear Department  !

has been declared a separate Business Unit, thereby being renamed the Nuclear Business Unit. As a result, the title of Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer has been changed to Chief Nuclear Officer and President - Nuclear Business Unit. Consistent with Vice President - Nuclear Operations having overall responsibility for station operations, this position is being identified as responsible for receiving SORC correspondence. Also, the title of General Manager -

Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety has been renamed to Director - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review.

III. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE 8 These changes are justified by the business decision that Page 1 of 3

Attachment 1 NLR-N94225 i

Change Administrative controls To Reflect LCR 94-35 i J Organisational changes I i

was made to separate the Nuclear Department from the

Electric Business Unit ar.d establish the Nuclear Department

as its own separate business unit, thereby being renamed the 1 Nuclear Business Unit. As a result of the organizational i

changes, the Chief Nuclear Officer became a direct report to I

the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Subsequently, the responsibilities of the Chief Nuclear Officer were increased. Therefore, the title was changed from Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer to Chief j Nuclear Officer and President - Nuclear Business Unit.

Consistent with the Vice President - Nuclear Operations i having overall responsibility for station operation, TS 1 6.5.1.8.b and 6.5.1.9, which address SORC Authority, 4

i Records, and Reports, will be the responsibility of the Vice President - Nuclear Operations.

1 Also, the title of General Manager - Quality Assurance and l Nuclear Safety will be changed to Director - Quality

, Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review. There will be no

change in the responsibilities or reporting relationships of 2

the position.

4 I IV. SIGNIFICANT RABARDS CONSIDERATION EVALUATION l 2

PSE&G has, pursuant to 10CFR50.92, reviewed the proposed amendment to determine whether the request involves a significant hazards consideration. We have determined that operation of the Hope Creek Generating Station in accordance

, with the proposed changes:

l l 1. Will not involve a significant increase in the j probability or consequences of an accident previously

evaluated.

The proposed management title changes from Vice 4

President and Chief Nuclear Officer to Chief Nuclear Officer and President - Nuclear Business Unit or Vice President - Nuclear Operations, and from General

! Manager - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety to

. Director - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review

! are administrative in nature and do not affect assumptions contained in the plant safety analysis, the physical design and/or operation of the plant, nor do they affect Technical Specifications that preserve

, safety analysis assumptions. Therefore, the proposed

changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously i Page 2 of 3

l 2. Will not create the possibility of a new or different l kind of accident from any accident previously

) evaluated.

l The changes being proposed are purely administrative and will not lead to material procedure changes or to l physical modifications. Therefore, the proposed l changes do not create the possibility of a new or l different type of accident from any accident previously j evaluated.

3. Will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The changes being proposed are administrative in nature and do not relate to or modify the safety margins defined in and maintained by the Technical Specifications. The changes discussed herein do not reduce the Technical Specification safety margin since all organizational responsibilities are being adequately implemented, and all personnel in place are properly qualified. Therefore, the proposed changes do l not involve a significant reduction in a margin of j safety.

l Y. CONCLUSION As discussed above, PSE&G has concluded that the proposed I changes to the Technical Specifications do not involve a significant hazards consideration since the changes: (i) do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (ii) do

, not create the possibility of a new or different kind of J accident from any accident previously evaluated, and (iii) l do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of l safety.
