SAFETY EVAldATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 169 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-3 TOLED0 EDISON COMPANY CENTER 10R SERVICE COMPAM AND THE CLEVELAND ELECTRIC 11.LUMINATING COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT NO. I DOCKET NO. 50-346 1.0 JNTRODUCTION By letter dated May 10, 1991 and supplemented December 21, 1991, the Toledo Edison Company (the licensee), requested changes to Technical Specifications (TS) 6.0, Administrative Controls, section 6.5.1.2, Station Review Board (SRB)
Composition, by changing the number of members from eight to "at least six members."
In addition, revisions to TS sections 6.3, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.5.1.4 and 6.5.1.5 reflect organizational changes and are administrative in nature.
The proposed changes are similar to those approved by Amendment Numbers 20 and 10, dated November 14, 1990 issued by the NRC staff to Houston Lighting and Power Company's South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, and Amendment Number 122, dated October 10, 1989 issued to Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River, Unit 3.
The proposed changes are also consistent with the NP Generic Letter (GL) 88-06 dr7d March 22, 1988, Removal of Organizational Charts from Technical Specification Administrative Control Requirements.
2.0 EVALUATION 4
TS 6.0 provides for the administrative controlc relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure safe operation of the plant. The 3RB is currently
- omposed of eight members, one of whom is designated as chairman.
The licensee has stated that the SRB meets as requireo, but at least once a month, and advises-the Plant Manager on matters relating to safety. Their specific responsibilities include review of plant administrative procedures and review of safety evaluations for procedure, changes to procedure, equipment or systems, and tests 01 experitients expleted under provisions of 10 CFR 50.59 to verify that such actions do not constitute an unreviewed safety question. The SRB : ray recommend approval, disapproval, or ocher disposition of reviewed iters.

PDR-
2 The licensee has proposed that the composition description for the SRB be changed in TS 6.5.1.2 so that the specific position titles are not used to designate membership.
This change would be consistent with the intent of GL 88-06 and provides greater flexibility to implement changes as required.
The proposed change requires that SRB members be part of the onsite management organization.
This ensures that, with the elimination of specific position titles, the SRB will continue to be comprised of personnel involved in daily plant activities, and who are experienced individuals with varied expertise.
The proposed reduction in SRB members from eight to six is a result of eliminating duplicate representation from plant operations.
There would be no adverse effect on safety since operatior.s will still be a member of the board. The SRB will continue to be comprised of members from maintenance, planning, radiological controls, engineering and quality assurance as well as operations. The proposed SRB composition changes would eliminate the necessity of a license amendment request each time a specific position or depar' ment title which involves board members is changed.
The licensee has stated that no new hardware changes are being made, no new testing is being created, and no new operating manipulations are being created oy the proposed changes to TS 6.0.
The staff has reviewed the proposed revision to TS 6.5.1.2 and finds that it would be acceptable for the SRB composition to be changed from eight to "at least six members." The additional proposed changes to TS 6.0, sect'ons 6.5, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.5.1.4, and 6.5.1.5 reflect organizational changes aad are administrative in nature.
The staff finds them to be acceptable.
