NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 5
'j WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
(
RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 39 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE DPR-77 AND AMENDMENT NO. 31 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE DPR-79 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY I
l 1.
INTRODUCTION AND EVALUATION On.0ctober 24, 1983, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) requested a revision to the Technical Specifications of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 & 2, on safety related hydraulic snubbers. Recognizing the general applicability of the proposed changes, Generic Letter 84-13 was issued on May 3, 1984, on this subject. This letter permitted the deletion of both Tables 3.7-4a (Safety Related Hydraulic Snubbers) and 3.7-4b (Safety Related Mechanical Snubbers) from present Technical Specifications of all Power Reactor Licenses (except SEP licenses) and all applicants for licenses to operate power reactors. Since the recordkeeping requirement of Technical Specifi-cation Section 3/4.7.7 has not been changed and the requirement that oper-ability of safety related snubbers shall be maintained is clearly delineated by the proposed revision, the staff concludes that this proposal meets the guidelines of Generic Letter 84-13 and approves the change.
II.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments involve changes in the installation of facility components l
located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The staff l
has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may l
be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has pre-viously issued a proposed finding that these amendments involve no signifi-cant hazards consideration, and there has been no public consnent on such finding. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibilit categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Sec 51.22(c)(9)y criteria for Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assess-ment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
III. CONCLUSION The Commission made a proposed determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 1984 (49 FR 3357) and consulted with the state of Tennessee. No public comments were received, and the state of Tennessee 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 8507030108 850620 gDR ADOCK 05000327 PDR
e-i 2-(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.
