-Sumary of the Safety Evaluation The staff has reviewed the impact'on safety considerations of amending Construction Permits CPPR-126 and CPPR-127 to reflect a corporate reorganization to consolidate TESCO, TPSL, and DPSL into Texas Utilities Electric. Based on its review, the staff has concluded that:
1.
The requested amendments do not result in safety-significant design changes to the facility';
~2. ~The technical qualifications of the applicants will not be diminished; 3.
The proposed organization is not required to submit financial qualification information; and 4.
The requested amendnents will not endanger the common defense and security.
Based on the considerations discussed above the staff has concluded that:
(1) because the' amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered; do not create the possibility of an accident of a type different from any previously evaluated; and do not involve a significant decrease in a safety nargin, the
_ amendments do not involve a significant hazards consideration (2) there is breasonable~ assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed nanner, and (3) such activities will
'be in compliance with the Comission 's regulations and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the
