SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR FEACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N0. 31 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-8 s
ALABAMA POWER COMPANY JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT N0. 2 DOCKET N0. 50-364 INTRODUCTION By letter dated December 10, 1982, Alabama Power Company (licensee) requested deletion of eight (8) non-safety related hydraulic snubbers from the ' Unit 2 Technical Specification Table 3.7-4a..The change was proposed as an adminis-trative change since the snubbers were included in the Technical Specifications in error.
DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION During a verification review of hydraulic snubbers installed at Joseph M.
Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, eight (8) non-safety related snubbers were found to'bc inadvertently included in Technical Specification Table 3.7-4a,
" Safety Related Hydraulic Snubbers." The eight (8) snubbers are installed on the main steam piping inside the turbine building and are not required for any' safety related function.
Since these snubbers are not required for any safety related function, the Technical Specification Table should be corrected.
Otherwise, unnecessary surveillance tests and operability criteria are imposed for these non-safety related snubbers. The Commission intends that only safety related snubbers be subjected to these restrictions.

SUMMARY
Based on the above discussion and evaluation, the deletion of the eight (8) non-safety related hydraulic snubbers from the Table 3.7-4a is in accordance with the intent of the Technical Specifications and is therefore accepted.
ENVRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION We have determined that the amendments do not authorize changes in effluent types or total amounts, nor increases in power levels, and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendments involve actions which are insignificant 8401200034 840110 PDR ADOCK 05000348 P
