SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-29 GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 MISSISSIPPI POWER & LIGHT COMPANY MIDDLE SOUTH ENERGY, INC.
SOUTH MISSIS'SIPPI ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATION INTRODUCTION By letter dated January 30, 1985, Mississippi Power & Light Company (the ifcensee) proposed to change the facility Technical Specifications to implement changes in the licensee's organization which would make plant quality personnel more independent of plant operations personnel.
The changes would be: (1)changethe title of Manager, Supplier QA, to Manager, Audits QA, on the Offsite Organization chart; (2) delete the position of Nuclear Plant Quality Superintendent from the Unit Operating chart; and, (3) change the composition of the Plant Safety Review Committee by substituting the Manager, Nuclear Site QA, for the Nuclear Plant Quality Superintendent.
EVALUATION
~
The staff has reviewed the proposed changes. Change (1) to the Technical Speciff ~
cations is simply a change of title to more accurately r'eflect the primary responsibility of the position, while the lines of responsibility and communica-tion are not ghanged.
In change (2), the Nuclear Plant Quality Superintendent will be moved from the Unit Operating Organization and placed under the Manager Nuclear Site QA in the Offsite Organization in order to minimize possible con-flicts of interest in the management of the plant operation. The Nuclear Plant Quality Superintendent will spend more time on his primary responsibility of quality inspection since the majority of other QA functions he has been performing, including review of procedures and procurement documents will be delegated to other QA positions having the same or higher level of responsibility. This change is an improvement in the quality assurance functions of the plant since the Unit Operating Organization Management will not have line responsibility for the quality inspection functions and the performance of other QA functions will be enhanced.
In change (3), substituting the Manager, Nuclear Site QA, for the Quality Superintendent in the Plant Safety Review Committee will maintain the level of review from a quality assurance standpoint, since the Quality (2)
Superintendent reports to the Manager, Nuclear Site QA.
Proposed changes and (3) improve safety in that they allow QA activities to focus entirely on quality requirements and to be independent of plant production activities.
Accordingly, the staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.

2-ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendment involves a change in administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Section 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
CONCLUSION The Commission made a propose'd determination that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register (50 FR 7995) on February 27, 1985, and consulted with the state of Mississippi.
No public comments were received, and the state of Mississippi 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 issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
