License No. DR-15 In an application dated June 12, 1970, and subsequently amended on July 30, 1970, you submitted Proposed Change No. 2 to the Technical Specificat!.ons j
attached to Provisional Operating License No. DR-15 for the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor. The proposed change would:
(a) revise qualification requirements for key personnel, (b) clarify limits for release 1
of maimactive effluents from the plant stack, and (c) increase allowable flow in the pump.around-loop. We have deferred our review of Item (c) per i
your request of March 5,1971; and we have redesignated Items (a) and (b) as l
Change No. 3.
l During our review of Change No. 3, we informed your staff that certain modi-fications to Item (a) were necessary to meet our regulatory requirements.
4 These modifications have been made. We conclude that Change No. 3, as modified, 1
does not present significant hasards considerations not described or implicit j
in the Safety Analysis Report and that there is reasonable assurance that the l
health and safety of the public will not be endangered. Accordingly, Change No. 3 is hereby authorised and, except for the requirement that the Operations Manager be licensed as a Senior reactor Operater, Change No. 3 is effective husediately. The licensing requirement for the Operations Manager shall be effective October 1,1971, neplacement pages 3.7 1, 3.7 5 and 6.1 2 through 6.1 5 are attached. The changes 2re indicated by brackets.
