NOV 2 71985 DOCKET N0:
70-3000 APPLICANT:
Commonwealth Editon Company FACILITY:
Braidwood Station, Unit 1
SUBJECT:
REVIEW 0F LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION DATED NOVEMBER 14, 1985
Background
Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) by application dated November 14, 1985, requested authorization for the following at its Braidwood Station, Unit 1:
1.
Change in the title of the Station Superintendent to Station Manager.
2.
Increase in the number of fuel assemblies per truck.
3.
Modification of the fire protection plan.
Discussion A.
Nuclear Criticality and Radiation Safety The title of the Station Superintendent is to be changed to Station Manager.- The responsibilities and minimum qualifications for the position are to remain unchanged.
An increase in the number of fuel assemblies per truck from 12 to 14 is requested. Since 60 shipping containers filled with fuel assemblies (120 assemblies) may be shipped in a single Class III shipment, the shipment of 14 assemblies per truck will not affect the nuclear criticality safety of the operations. No request has been made to modify the radiation pro-tection program. Therefore, neither the title change of the Station Superintendent nor the increase in fuel assemblies shipped per truck will affect the health and safety of the facility personnel and the public.
B.
Fire Safety CECO had committed to completion of a fire barrier for the facility.
It does not appear that the fire barrier (e.g., containment equipment hatches) will be installed by the time of fuel receipt. In addition, some penetra-tion seals through the fire barrier and fire doors will not be available before fuel arrives onsite. However, all other features of the fire pro-tection program, as described in the SNM license application, are to be in place before fuel receipt. In order to ensure that fire protection is not compromised, CECO has committed to the following additional fire safety controls:
(1) fire alarm and other fire protection systems will be operational before receipt of fuel assemblies, (2) 18 more portable fire extinguishers than previously comitted will be available in or around the Fuel Handling Building, (3) 8 other hose stations in the Auxiliary Building 8512100746 851127 PDR ADOCK 07003000 C

Accordingly, the staff has concluded that the following conditions have been met.
1.
There is no significant change in the type or.significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, 2.
There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure, 3.
There is no significant construction impact, and 4.
There is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents.
' ' Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is warranted for this proposed action.
