- s WASHINGTON, D. C. 205$5 4,.....,d SAFETY EVALVATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION TdLATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 85 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-11 AND 631NW1Ml4T N_Q. 69 TO FACillTY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-18 COMMORWEALTH EDISON COMPANY LASALLE COl)_NTY STATION. UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-373 AND 50-374 1.0 LNTRODUCTION By application dated May 22, 1991, Commonwealth Edison Company (Ceco, the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2.
The proposed changes would incorporate programmatic controls for radiological effluents and radiological environmental monitoring in the Administrative Controls section of the TS consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix ! to 10 CFR Part 50.. At the same time, the licensee proposed to transfer the procedural details of the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) from the IS to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) or to the Process Cor, trol Program (PCP) for solid radioactive wastes as appropriate.
With these changes, the specifications related to RETS reporting requirements were simplified.
Finally, changes to the definitions of the ODCM and PCP were proposed consistent with these changes.
Guidance on these proposed changes was provided to all power reactor licensees and applicants by Generic letter (GL) 89-01 dated January 31, 1989.
2.0
[VAtVATION The licensee's proposed changes to the TS are in accordance with the guidance provided in GL 89-01 and are addressed below.
(1)
The licensee has proposed to incorporate programmatic controls for radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring in Specification 6.2.F
" Plant Operating Procedures and Programs," of the TS as noted in the guidance provided in GL 89-01.
The programmatic controls ensure that programs are established, implemented, and L
maintained to ensure that operating procedures are provided to control l
radioactive effluents consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CtR 50.36a, and Appendix ! to 10 CFR Part 50.
l (2)
The licensee has confirmed that the detailed procedural requirements addressing Limiting Conditions for Operation, their applicability, remedial acti ns, associated surveillance requirements, or reporting l
requirements for the following specifications have been prepared to l
l 9210150398 921007 PDR ADDCK 0S000373
_P; PDR
' implement the relocation of these procedural details to the ODCM or PCP.
These changes to the ODCM and PCP have been prepared in accordance with the new Administrative Controls in the TS on changes to the ODCM and PCP so that they will be implemented in the ODCM or PCP when this amendment is issued.

6.6.A.3 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report 6.6.A.4 Semiannual Radioactive Ef f16:nt Release Report These procedural details that have been removed from the TS are not I
required by the Commist'.on's regulations to be included in the TS.
They have been prepared for incorporation in the ODCM or PCP upon issuance of this license amendment and may be subsequently changed by the licensee without prior NRC approval.
Changes to the ODCM and PCP are documented and will be retained for the duration of the operating license in accordance with Specification 6.5.B.18.
(3)
The licensee has proposed replacing the existing specifications in the Administrative Controls section of the TS for the Annual Radiological-Environmental Ooerating Report, Specification 6.6. A 3, for the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, Specification 6.6. A.4, for the Process Control Program, Specification 6.7, and for the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Specification 6.8, with the updated specifications that were provided in GL 89-01.
The following specifications that are included under the heading of Radioactive Effluents heve been retained in the 15.
This is in accordance with the guidance of GL 89 01.

Explosive Gas Mixture 3/4.11.2.2 Radioactive Effluents: Main Condenser 6.9 Major Changes to Radioactive Waste Treatment Systems On the basis of the above, the sta'f finds that the changes included in the proposed TS amendment requests are consistent with the guidance provided in GL 89-01, Because the control of radioactive effluents continues to be limited in accordance with operating procedures that must satisfy the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CfR 50.36a, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, the NRC staff concludes that there is no impact on plant safety as a consequence.
Accordingly, the staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.
3.0-STATE CONSIILTATION In acccrdance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment.
The State official had no comments.

[NVIRONMENTAL CORSIDERATION I
These amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative arocedures or requirements. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibilit, criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 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 these amendments.
5.0 LQt CLQ$19B l
The Commission has 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, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
