7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY DOCKET N0. 50-483 r

NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF IS!!!ANCE OF AMENDMEiT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND PROPOSED-NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION diiTERMINA1T4N AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Connission) is considering issuance of an, amendment to Faqility Operating License No.

NPF-30, issued to Union Electric Company, for operation of the Callaway

(

. Plant Unit 1 located in Callaway County, Missouri.

~

, Thjs, amendment would revise the time pe,riod.. associated with Technical w-Specification Surveillance 4.6.1.6.1 by extending each of the three schedu. led containmentvesseltendonsurveillancessix(6) months.,inaccordancewith

~

the licensee's request dated February 12, 1985.' This. extension is requested because the services of INRYC0, the inspection contractor for Union Electric arid Alabama. Power Co., are needed to evaluate anomalies recently found at the Farley Unit 2 plant. ' Union Electric Company released INRYC0 to Alabama Power l-Company so that the outage associated with the Farley problem is not un-,

l necessarily extended.

Befdre ' issuance of the proposed license amendnent, the Connission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 'as amended l

(the Act) and the Cre.ission's regulations.

I W O-01 2-The ' Commission has made a proposed detemination that ', he amendment

~

reques't involves no significant hazards consideration. Under the Comission's regulations in.10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfromanyaccident,previouslyevaluated;or(3)involveasignificant reduction in a margin of safety.

The licensee's amendment application addressed the design conservatism.

tendon surveillance for the Callaway post tensioning system. The initial installation inspections and recent field inspections have confirmed'the e

continuing tendon integrity so that a six month extension in the time for further detailed tendon surveillance will not significantly increase the probability of tendon' failure and will, therefore, not increase the probability e

or consequences of any previously analyzed accident. Becase the proposed extension of the time for detailed tendon surveillance will not impact tendon-l integrity,'will not affect the method and manner of plant operation, and will i

not affect components and equipment important to safe operation, the proposed cmencnent (foes nct create the possibility of a new and di'#erent accident from any previously evaluated.

Because recent field inspections showed no o?

- evidence of tendon failure and because containment.prestress" levels are not

~

expected to decrease by any significant degree in the proposed six month period of surveillance ext,ension, th,is revision to the Technical Specifications will not signific'antly reduce any margins of safety. On these bases, the' staff proposes to determine that this amendment extending the tendon surveillance period does not involve significant hazards considerations, j

.The Commission is seeking public commgnts on this proposed determination.

Any comments received within 30' days after the date of publication of this m.

gg notice will be considered in making any final determination. The Commission 5,,g.A_.

will notwrmally make a final determination, unless it receives a request for aheafing.
