USNRC June 1985 SAFETY CONSIDERATION The significant hazards consideration is based on the guidance provided by example in 48FR14870. The changes described herein are classified according to the following example of actions involving no significant hazards:
A change to make a license conform to changes in the regulations, where the license change results in very minor changes to facility operations clearly in keeping with the regulations.
Additional information is presented in Attachment A to support our findings that the changes presented herein are not considered to involve significant hazards consideration.
Based on the consideration contained herein, it is concluded that there is reasonable assurance that operation of the Yankee plant consistent with the proposed Technical Specifications will not endanger the health and safety of the public. This proposed change has been reviewed by the Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Committee.
FEE An application fee of $150.00 is enclosed in accordance with 10CFR170.21.
SCHEDULE FOR CHANGE The changes described above will be incorporated into the Yankee Technical Specifications upon receipt of your approval. Yankee is scheduled for a Fall, 1985 refueling. Therefore, a review of this Proposed Change is requested by September 15, 1985.
We trust that you will find this submittal satisfactory. However, should you desire additional information, please contact us.
Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY NY L. H. Heider Vice President / Manager of Operations TKH/nm Enclosure
