SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N0.90 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-40 OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-285

Introduction:

By application dated June 11, 1985, the Omaha Public Power District (the licensee) requested an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1. The amendment would change the testing frequency of the auxiliary feedwater pumps from quarterly to monthly.

Evaluation:

By letter dated June 15, 1984, we provided a safety evaluation to the licensee on this subject. In that safety evaluation, we have compared the licensee's auxiliary feedwater system TS to the guideline TS contained in Generic Letter No. 83-37. Our conclusion stated that, pending the change from quarterly to monthly surveillance requirements, the Fort Calhoun AFW technical specifications meet the guidelines of Generic Letter No. 83-37, TrtI item II.E.1.1 dated November 1,1983, and are, therefore, acceptable. On this basis, the licensee's proposal to chaage the auxiliary feedwater pumps testing frequency from quarterly to merithiy is acceptable.

Environmental Consideration

-- This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 or a change in an inspection or surveillance requirement. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously published a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 651.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 551.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

2-Conclusion t 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 (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
