SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMEN 0 MENT NO.13 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-43 DETROIT EDISON COMPANY WOLVERINE POWER SUPPLY COOPERATIVE, INCORPORATED FERMI-2 DOCKET NO. 50-341
- 1. 0 INTRODUCTION By letter dated May 27, 1907, the Detroit Edison Company (the licensee) proposed a change to Technical Specification (TS) Table 4.8.2.1-1 entitled, "Battery Surveillance Requirements," to delete Table Notations (7) and (8) and the applicable TS Bases which specify battery surveillance parameters for a nominal specific gravity electrolyte of 1.250.
The basis for the changes was that the parameters addressed by Table Notations (7) and (8) are no longer necessary due to the replacement of the Division II batteries with cells containing a nominal specific gravity electrolyte of 1.210.
i 2.0 EVALUATION The licensee previously had requested a TS change (in May 1985) reflecting new float voltage and specific gravity values for the planned replacement of both Division I and Division II batteries.
The Division I battery replacements, containing the new specific gravity value of 1.210, were to be made during a maintenance outage scheduled in May-June 1986.
The Division II battery replacements were to be made at a later outage.
This necessitated the specification of the new and old specific gravity values in TS Table 4.8.2.1-1 and the addition of Table Notations (7) and (8) in that table.
The change proposed in May 1986 was found acceptable by the NRC staff and effectuated by the issuance on June 13, 1986, of Amendment No. 2 to the Fermi-2 Facility Operating License No. NPF-43, l
However, the replacement of both the Division I and the Division II batteries with cells containing the new specific gravity value of 1.210 was accomplished during the May-June 1986 maintenance outage, subsequent to the issuance of License Amendment No. 2, thereby making the addition of Table Notations (7) and (8) to TS Table 4.8.2.1-1 unnecessary.
Since the change proposed by the licensee's letter dated May 27, 1987, amends the TS in conformance with the as-built plant, and the technical basis for the change in battery cell specific gravity electrolyte was approved by License Amendment No. 2, we agree that the deletion of Table Notations (7) and (8) is acceptable.

- 3. 0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves changes to a surveillance requirement.
We have 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 issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consid-eration and there has been no public comment on such finding.
Accordingly, this 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 nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
4.0 CONCLUSION
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 this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
