< .e SAFETY EVALUATION These proposed changes supplement the proposed changes submitted in VEPCO letter dated May 2, 1985 (Serial No.85-162). The supplemental changes clarify Action Statement A.1 of Technical Specification 3.6.1.3, Containment Air Locks.

Currently, Action Statement A.1 requires that with one containment air lock door inoperable, the operable air lock door must be maintained closed. This requirement is impractical if the inoperable air lock door is the inner door.

It would not be advisable from a safety standpoint or an ALARA standpoint to use the containment emergency hatch as an access point to make the necessary repairs. Maintenance personnel need to open the outer door to restore the inner air lock door to operable status. The proposed change is to add a footnote to Action Statement A.1 to provide an exemption to allow entry to repair the inner air lock door if it is inoperable.

The proposed Technical Specification changes do not: increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in .the UFSAR; increase the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than previously evaluated in the UFSAR; or reduce the margin of safety as defined'in the Bases of any Technical Specification. The proposed changes clarify an existing requirement and are administrative in nature.

The supplemental proposed changes do not pose a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92. The Commission has provided examples of changes that constitute no significant hazards considerations in Federal Register, Volume 48, Page 14870. Example (1) consists of purely administrative changes to the technical specifications. The proposed changes clarify an existing requirement and are administrative in nature. Example (vii) consists of changes 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 regulations. The proposed changes were initiated as a result of and are consistent with discussions on interpretation of the Technical Specification held between station personnel and the Resident Inspector.
