SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT RELATED TO AMENDMEt4T NO. 40 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-9 AND TO AMENDMENT N0. 21 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-17 DUKE POWER COMPANY McGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND ?
INTRODUCTION In November 1980, the staff issued NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," which included all TMI Action Plan items approved by the Comission for implementation at nuclear power reactors.
NUREG-0737 identifies those items for which Technical Specifications are required. A number of items which require Technical Specifications (TSs) were scheduled for implementation after December 31, 1981. The staff provided cuidance on the
+
scope of Technical Specifications for these items in Generic Letter 83-37, which was issued to all Pressurized Water Peactor licensees on November 1,1983.
In this Generic Letter, the staff requested licensees to:
1.
review their facility's Technical Specifications to determine if they were censistent with the guidance provided in the Generic Letter, and 2.
submit an application for a license amendment where deviations or absence of Technical Specifications were found.
By letter dated July 31, 1984, Duke Power Company (the licensee) proposed license amendments to change Technical Specifications for McGuire Units I and 2 related to_TMI Action Plan Item II.F.2 - Instrumentation for Inadeouate Core Cooling. The Inadequate Core Cooling Instrumentation System at McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, consists of a subcooling margin monitor, reactor 4
vessel level instrumentation system and core exit thermocouples.
I EVALUATION Generic Letter 83-37 provided the guidance on TSs for the subcooling margin monitors, a reactor cooling inventory tracking system and core exit thermocouples.
The TSs regarding operability and surveillance requirements for the subcooling i
margin monitors and core exit thermocouples are already included in existing l
Technical Specifications for McGuire Units 1 and 2.
However, the licensee i
has proposed to increase the number of operable channels for subcooling margin i
monitors from one to two, and has proposed the TSs regarding operability and i
surveillance requirements for reactor vessel level instrumentation. We have reviewed the proposed TSs for the subcooling margin monitors and reactor vessel level instrumentation, and conclude that the proposed TSs are consistent.
l with guidance contained in Generic Letter 83-37 and, therefore, are acceptable.

... - 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 and in surveillance requirements.
The staff has determined that these 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.
CONCLUSION The Commission made a proposed determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 1984 (49 FR 42817) and consulted with the state of North Carolina.
No public comments were received, and the state of Rorth Carolina did not have any comments.
We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health, and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) 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.
