BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT 2 DOCKET N0. 50-324
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated November 11, 1987, the Carolina Power & Light Company submitted a request for changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2.
The proposed changes would replace instrument tag numbers TS-CR-863 with TS-CIT-863-3 in Tables 3.3.5.6-2 and 4.3.5,6-1.
The change is being requested to reflect a j
plant modification which upgrades the instrumentation, i
2.0 EVALUATION In the November 11, 1987 submittal, the licensee proposed changing certain instrument tag numbers as listed in Item 2 of TS Tables 3.3.5.6-1, 3.3.5.6-2 and 4.3.5.6-1.
Item I represents the chloride lead detector in the condtnsate pump discharge, which provides indication of chloride intrusion in the condensate system only. The purpose of these chloride intrusion monitors is to preclude long-term piping degradation in the condensate syt. tem.
The licensee plans a plant modification which upgrades the instrumen-tation. TS-CR-863 represents a conductivity recorder and two analyzers, one which measures feedwater conductivity and one w'nich measures condensate conductivity. The replacement TS-CIT-863-3, is an upgraded conductivity cell and analyzer, capable of detection and compensation for temperature transients which may occur in the sample being analyzed.
l The new conductivity analyzer will provide a direct and continuous reading without relying on a recorder.
the new analyzer will also provide an output to a recorder for trending purposes.
The function provided by the instrumentation being replaced would not be altered with the new instrumentation.
The capabilities of the chloride instrusion instrumentation are enhanced by the ability to Jctect and compensate for temperature transients in analyzed samples.
The chloride limits established in TS 3/4.4.4 and the setpoints of TS Table 3.3.5.6-2 are unchanged.
The change does not affect the TS requirement that at least on channel of the chloride leak detection instrumentation in the condensate pump discharge be operable, i
Therefore, based on the discussion above, the hRC staff finds the change to be acceptable.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
S This atendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted areas as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The staff has detennined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released off site; and that there should be no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Comission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public coment on such finding. Accordir. gly, this amendment meets the eligibility criterio for categorical exclusion set forthin10CFR951.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 651.22(b), no environ-rental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The Comission made a proposed determination that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration which was published in the FEDERAL.
REGISTER (53 FR 2311) on January 27, 1988, and consulted with the State of North Carolina.
No public coments or requests for hearing were received, and the State of North Carolina did not have any coments.
The staff has 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 Comission's regula-tions, and the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the comon cefense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
