1 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGUL ATORY C0ff4ISSION DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE DOCKET NO. 50-409 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Provisional License No. DPR-45, issued to Dairyland Power Cooperative (the licensee) for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR), located in Vernon County, Wisconsin.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action:

The proposed amendment would revise the Technical Specifications (TS) to reduce the required crew size. .

LACBWR was permanently shutdown on April 30, 1987 and reactor defueling completed on June 11, 1987. The LACBWR Operating License No. DPR-45 was modified to possess-but-not-operate status on August 4, 1987.

Need for Proposed Action:

The amendment is needed to reduce crew size requirements that were appropriate for an operating plant but not at the permanently shutdown LACBWR facility. .

Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action:

The proposed action will have no environmental impact because with the reacter permanently shutdown our accident analysis shows that potential offsite exposures are reduced to less than protective action guide levels.

!!O O$Ok$!Obo9 PDR p

2-The reduced crew size would be adequate to respond to these potential accidents and there can be no reactor accident since all fuel has been removed from the reactor and placed in the Fuel Element Storage Well.

The staff has also determined that the amendment involves no increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there would be no increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposures. ,

Alternative Use of Resources:

This action does not involve the use of resources.

Agencies and Persons Consulted:

The licensee initiated this amendment action. The NRC staff has reviewed their request. No other agencies or persons were consulted.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed amendment.

Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, we conclude that the proposed action will not have a signifi; ant effect on the quality of the human environment.

For f'Jrther details with respect to this action, see the licensee's I

application dated November 12, 1987 as revised January 29, 1988, which is I

available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20555 and at the La Crosse Public Library, 800 Main Street, La Crosse, Wisconsin 54601.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 31 day of March 1988.
