SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EVALUATION l l l PROPOSED CHANGE This amendment application revises Section 6, Administrative Controls, of the Technical Specifications.

The change proposes to revise the Technical Specifications 6.2.1.c,6.6.1.b,6.7.1.a.

and 6.7.1.c, to reflect an organizational change in support of an executive title change and a retirement.

l l Specifically, the title of Senior Vice-President, Nuclear is replaced by the title, Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer. Other than title designation, the position remains l unchanged in the Union Electric management structure. The same staff that reported to the  ;

l '

Senior Vice-President, Nuclear will report to the Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer.

The Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer will report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Union Electric Company as did the Senior Vice-President, Nuclear.

There will be no reduction in the level of management oversight in the operation of Callaway Plant. The Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer will have corporate l responsibility for overall plant safety. He has the authority to take all measures needed to  !

ensure acceptable performance of the staff in operating, maintaining, and providing technical l support for nuclear safety.

l Changes to other licensing documents are being processed to reflect this title and organization change. The Callaway Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) is being updated under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59 and 50.71(e). The Operating Quality Assurance

Manual is being updated under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a) and 50.71(e). The Security l Plan is being updated under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p). The Radiological Emergency l Response Plan is being updated under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q). Each of these documents is being revised under the provisions in the applicable regulation which do not require prior NRC approval.

1 EVALUATION The proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration because j operation of Callaway Plant in accordance with these changes would not:

l ULNRC-3565 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 2 l (1) Involve a signiGcant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

l l

This proposed change does not involve any hardware or design changes, plant procedures, or administrative changes, other than a revision of title designation in documentation. Within the Union Electric organizational structure, the chain of authority and reporting to the Senior Vice-President, Nuclear remains unchanged, and is now aligned to the l Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer. The position of Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer now reports to the same management level as the previous title, Senior Vice-President, Nuclear. This change has no impact on the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated in the Final Safety Report (FSAR).

l (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously i

evaluated. ,

! This proposed change does not involve any hardware or design changes, plant procedures, or administrative changes, other than a revision of title designation in documentation. Within the Union Electric organizational structure, the chain of authority and reporting to the Senior Vice-President, Nuclear remains unchanged, and is now aligned to the l

Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer. In mldition, the position of Vice-President and Chief Nuclear OfDeer now reports to the same management level as the previous title Senior Vice-President, Nuclear. No new or different kind of accident is introduced by this purely administrative change to revise documentation to reflect current organizational titles.

(3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The safety margins of the Technical Specifications are based on the actual plant design and are unaffected by this purely administrative change. This change merely updates the Technical Specifications to reflect the current organizational title for senior management of the Callaway Plant, and within the organizational structure of Union Electric. This change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

CONCLUSION Based upon the preceding information, it has been determined that the proposed change to the Technical Specifications does not involve an increase in the probability or possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed

, change meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92(c) and does not involve a significant hazards

consideration.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION PROPOSED CHANGE This amendment application revises Section 6, Administrative Controls, of the Technical Specifications.

The change proposes to revise the Technical Specifications 6.1.2, 6.2.1.c, 6.6.1.b, 6.7.1.a, and 6.7.1.c, to reflect an organizational change in support of an executive title change and a retirement.

Specifically, the title of Senior Vice-President, Nuclear is replaced by the title, Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Offi Other than title designation, the position remains unchanged in the Union Electric management structure. The same staff that reported to the Senior Vice-President, Nuclear will report to the Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer.

In addition, ti- Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer will report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Union Electric Company, as did the Senior Vice-President, Nuclear.

EVALUATION l The proposed amendment involves changes that are purely administrative in nature and involve revising documents to reflect an organization title change. Union Electric has determined that the proposed amendment does not involve:

(1) A significant hazard consideration, as discussed in Attachment 2 of this amendment application.

(2) A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any l effluents that may be related offsite.

(3) A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

I i

i Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical

! exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with issuance of this amendment.
