1.0 INTRODUCTION

lt By letter dated September 14, 1984,

~

(the licensee) made application to amend the Technical Specificationsthe Philadelphia et al.

for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units Nos. 2 and 3, to permit deletion of Table 3.11.D.1, " Safety Related Shock Suppressors," and the addition of criteria specifying which snubbers are required to be operable and which snubbers are exempted from the requirements of Section 3.11.D - Shock Suppressors (Snubbers) on Safety Related Systems. The licensee's application was made in l.'

response to the NRC staff's Generic Letter 84-13. " Technical Specifications for Snubbers," dated May 3, 1984.

2.0 EVALUATION N

In guidance provided to licensees in its Generic Letter on snubber TSs (GL 84-13), the NRC staff indicated that it had reassessed the inclusion of

,i snubber listings within the TSs and concluded that such listings were not required to be operable. The licensee's requested changes to the TSs would.

necessary provided the snubber TSs are modified to specify which snubbers are j

delete the tabular listings of snubbers (Table 3.11.D.1) in accordance with the i

above guidance. The licensee'also requested the addition of criteria to

i Section 3.11.D. and the appropriate Bases to require all snubbers other than j

specified exceptions to be operable in accMance with the staff's Generic o

Letter Guidance.

We have reviewed the current TSs together with the proposed changes and compared these changes with the model TSs provided in Generic Letter 84-13.

l, From our review, we conclude that these changes are in accordance with the l1 guidance and associated model TSs provided.in Generic letter 84-13 and are, i

therefore, acceptable. The proposed elimination from the Peach Bottom TSs of all snubber listings in Table 3.11.D.1 is acceptable because the proposed TS chances provide additional Specifications indicating which snubbers are -

4 required to be operable and which are exempt from the requirements of Section 3.11.0 in accordance with the staff's guidance in Generic Letter 84-13.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

These amendments involve a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.

We have determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is'no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.

Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.

4.0 CONCLUSION

We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:

(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) public such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
