DOCKET.NO. 50-387 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF A".ENDMENT TO FACILITY CPERATING LICENSE AND PRCPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZA;35 CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND CPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the-Commission) is considering
. issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating. License No. NPF-14, issued to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company and Allegheny Electric Cocperative, Inc.
(the licensees), for operation of the Suscuehanna Steam ' Electric Station, Unit 1 located. in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
The. amendment would revise License Condition 2.0 to include Changes N, 0, and P to the Physical Security Plan ohich consist of an increase of time between initial security clearances and an update, a reduction in Mobile Patrol Officers, the addition of a paragraph to the Plan which grants temporary relief of certain commitments during periods of construction and a new appendix describing-
-vital areas and equipment locations and changes A and B tc the Security Training and Qualification Plan to provide for consistency with changes to the Physical Security Plan in accordance with the licensee's application for an amendment dated June 27, 1983. Pursuant to 10 CFR 73.21 changes are withheld from public inspection.
Before issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.
The Commission has made a proposed detennination that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. Under the Commission's

' (7590-01)
. 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 accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a'significant reduction in a
-margin of safety.
The proposed changes do not affect reactor operations or accident analyses and have no radiological consequences. Therefore, operation in accordance with the proposed amendment clearly involves no significant hazards consideration ggg.
because the changes will. 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 accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination.
Any comments received ~within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice g
will be' considered in making any final determination. The Commission will not normally make a final determination unless it receives a request for a hearing.
Comments should be addressed to the Secretary of the Commission, U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,' D. C.

As required by 10 CFR 52.714, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding.
The-
. petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be pemitted with particular reference to the following factors:
(1) the nature of the pet?tioner's right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of any. order which may be. entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest. The petition should also identify the specific aspect (s) of the subject matter of the proceeding as to which petitioner wishes to intervene. Any person who has filed a petition -for leave to intervene or who.has been admitted as a party may amend the petitien-without requesting leave _ of'the Board up to fif teen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, but such an amenud petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described above.
Not later than fif teen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, a petitioner shall file a supplement to the petition to intervene which must include a list of the contentions whicn are sought to be litigated in the matter, and the bases for each contention set forth

These' permitted to interver.e beccme parties to the proceeding,. subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including the opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
N-If a hearing is requested, the Commission will make a final determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration. The final determination will serve to decide when the hearing is held.
If the final determination is that the amendment _ request involves no significant hazards consideration, the Commission may issue the amendment and make it ef fective, notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing held would take place after issuance of the amendment.
If the final determination is that the amendment involves a significant hazards consideration, any hearing held would take place before the issuance of any amendment.
l Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of.the 30-day notice period. However, should circumstances change during the notice period such that failure to act in a timely way would result in derating or shutdown of the facility, the Commission may issue the license amendment before the expiration of the 30-day notice period, provided that its final determination is-that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration. The final determination will consider all public and state L
p-n.

DOCKET NO. 50-387 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND FRCPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND GPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering M
issuance of an amendment. to Facility Operating License No. NPF-14, issued to Pennsylvania Pcwer & Light Company and Allegheny Electric Cceperative, Inc.
(the licensees), for operation of the Susquehar.na Steam Electric Station, Unit i located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
The amendment would raise the Main Steam Line Radiation - High setpoint frcm less than or equal to three times normal background to a setpoint of less than or equal to seven times normal background, in accordance with the licensee's application for an amendment dated July 22,'1983, and supplemented by letters dated July 26, 1983 and August 2, 1983. Previous operations at full power have resulted in reactor trips and main steam line isolations during normal plant evolutions such as placing a condensate demineralizer into service.
Before issuance of.the proposed license amendment, the Ccrmission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.

The amendnent would provide relief from the requirements of Technical Specification 3.8.1.1 ACTION a. in order to reinstall the repaired T-10 Startup Transformer during reactor power operation. Specifically, relief is requested to extend the restoration of at least two offsite circuits to OPERABLE status from "within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />" to "within 7 days."

- The _ C0r;vv ssion has made a proposed determination that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. Under' the Comnission'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 S
m increase in the probability or consequences of an accident.previously evaluated;_
or (2) create the possibility.of a new or different kind of accident fron any I
accident previously evaluated; or (3) inv.olve a significant reduction in a k
margin of safety.
The licensee in his letter dated August 4,1983, stated that extension
<h of the restoration of at least two offsite circuits from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days, elimination of the 1-hour brea; 2r alignment surveillance, and eliminition of
,a the 4-hour l diesel generator start testing in Technical Specification 3.8.1.1
,_ p ACT'ON a. involve no significant hazards consideration.
The licensee's basis i
for this5 determination is that the change does not:
(1) invcive a significant s
.i increase in the probability or consequences of' an accident or (2) create the' probability of. a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously x
s evaluated because no credit is taken for the offsite power sources in the LOCA analysis.
If the remaining off site power circuit was lost, vital loads would be s
a picked up by the emergency diesel genehtors.
The licensee also states the e
t' l
I f
'4 N.
s.
n
- [7590-01]
- change.does not involve a significant reducticn in a margin' of safety because breaker alignment and diesel generator testing _will be performed prior to taking one offsite power' source out of. service, thus previoing. assurance that the -
remaining offsite power source-and the diesel generators will func' ion if needed when the.offsite pcuer-source is taken out of service.
If the staf f's review ccnfirms the licensee's evaluation, the anenc.?ent clearly involves no signifi-cant hazards consideration.
The staff proposes to determine that extension of the diesel genera. tor lUD -
surveillance required by Technical Specification 3.8.1.1 ACTION a. from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> involves no significant hazards consideration.
Extension of the
. interval from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> does not significantly reduce the reliability of the diesel generators to perform their intended function for the period of transformer replacement. Therefore, operation of the facility during the period of transformer replacement with the proposed change clearly 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 kina of acci.:ent from any accident-previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safetj.
The Ccmmission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination.
Any comments received within 30 days af ter the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determination.
The Commission will not normally make a final determination unless it receives a request for a hearing.
