, DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION i

Section 2.1.2, Gaseous Ef fluents of the Appendix B Technical Specifications j in part requires the licensee to monitor radioactive gaseous releases from i the facility. The current term used to describe the testing of radiation vent monitors is " instrument channel test." The licensee proposes to l

) change the nomenclature to " instrument functional test." The purpose of i

j this proposed change is to effect consistent terminology throughout the i Technical Specifications. This request involves only the nomenclature used l and does not entail any change in the methodology or frequency of testing and, therefore, is acceptable.

I Department of Environmental Resources, Comonwealth of Pennsylvania, of the proposed determination of no significant hazards consideration. No coments were received.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS This amendment involves a change in the nomenclature used to describe the I

testing of radiation vent monitors. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts of any effluents 2

that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Comission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public coment on l such finding. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria  !

for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Sec. 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant i

i to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or envircnmental i

! assessment need to be prepared in connection with the issuance of this

! amendment.

Conclusion Based upon the staff's evaluation of the proposed change to the Three itile
