e SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 76 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N0. DPR-66 DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY OHIO EDISON COMPANY PENNSYLVANIA POWER COMPANY BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-334 Introduction By letter dated July 14, 1983, Duquesne Light Company submitted a request for a proposed amendment to Appendix A of Operating License No. DPR-66 for the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 1.

The proposed amendment would add six hydraulic snubbers to the Technical Specifications surveillance list.

Evaluation These six snubbers are located on the main feedwater system upstream of the auxiliary feedwater piping and were inadvertently omitted from the original Technical Specifications.

Since their function is to prevent excessive pipe deflections during a seismic event, these six snubbers should be included in the Technical Specifications surveillance list.

The proposed revision is administrative in nature since it only adds six existing snubbers to the surveillance list.

It does not involve physical changes in plant safety related systems, components, or structures.

It will not increase the likelihood of a malfunction of safety related equipment, will not increase the consequences of an accident previously analyzed, nor create the possibility of a malfunction different from those previously evaluated in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

ENVIRONMENTALCONSIDERATIQ 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 significant environmental impact.

Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoirt of environmental impact, Wh?O h

P

s 2-and pursuant to 10 CFR 951.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement, or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuarce of this amendment.

CONCLUSION

~

We have 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, and (2) 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 or security cr to the health and safety of the public.
