1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated January 15, 1951, as supplemented September 30, 1991, the Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee) submitted a reouest for changes to the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, Technical. Specifications (TS). This request reflects the creation cf a new Nuclear Assessment Department (NAD) and the associated changes in titles and positions. The NAD was formed to provide an objective oversight of Nuclear Generation Group performance and reports directly to the Executive Vice President, Power Supply Group. The NAD assumes some of the responsibility of the Nuclear Services Department end the Corporate Quality Assurance Department. The September 30, 1991, supplement provided clarifying information that did not change the initial proposed no significant hazarfs consideration determination.
2.0 EVALUATION Following is a brief description and our evaluation of the requested changes, a.
Section 6.2.3 - Onsite Nuclear Safety (ONS) Unit - The title of this unit has been changed to the Project Assessment (PA)
Section. The PA Section is part of the new NAD. The functions and responsibilities remaia unchanged.
We find this change acceptable as the functions and responsi-bilities have not been changec' and the NAD reports to a high level corporate official.
b.
Sections 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 - Titles have been changed from Corporate Nuclear Safety Section to Nuclear Anessmer:t Depart-ment to reflect the revised organization and reassignment of responsibilities.
