SAFETY EVALUATION RY THE OFCICE OF N"CLFAR REACT 0D PEGULATION RELATED TO AMENDPENT NOS. 96 ann 83 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICEM E NO. NPF-4 AND NDF 7 Vf0A!NIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY OLD 00MINTON ELFCTRIC COOPERATIVE NORTH ANNA POWER STAT!0N, UNITS NO. 1 AND NO. 2 COCKET NOS. 50-338 AND 50-339 INTRODUCTION By letter dated June 1,1087, the Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licenseel proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TS1 for the North Anna Power Station, Units No. I and No. ? INA-1&?). The changes are associated with primary coolant specific activity limits specified in NPC Generic Letter 85-19, "Reporting Requirements on Primary Coolant Iodine Activity."
OISCUSSION The licensee has requested that the NA-1&2 TS 3/a.a.8, B3/4.4.3, 6.9.1.5.c, and 6.9.2.f be amended in order to com?ly with NRC Generic Letter 85-19, dated September 27, 1985.
Generic Letter 85-19 requested that TS amendments be sub-nitted from facilities which currently have T$ which require reporting via a Special Report (SR) or Licensee Event Report (LER) upon exceeding coolant iodine activity limits, or have T$srequirements to shytoown after 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> Geneefc i tter 85-19 reduced the reporting with iodine above the limit.
f requirements for iodine spiking from a Short Ter'.n Peport to an item which is to be included in the Annual Report. The info'emation to be included in the s
Annual Report is similar to tlht previously rdodired but changed to more clearly designate the results to be included from thcl sp]ecific activity analysis and to delete the infonnation regardin, fib 1 burnup. t neric Letter 85-19 also re-quests TS changes to eliminate he existing requ W aent to shutdown a plant if coolant iodine activity limits w e exceeded for 800 heurs in a 12 month ceriod.

EVALUATION
' (
These. administrative changes, as discussed above, are clearly specified in S
Gensric letter 85-19. fdsof tbt deletion of the requirement to shutdown if l
the coolant activityslimit is exceeded for more than 8'V? pours in any 12 month period is not conriderat recessary because of the increased quality of nuclear fuel production and Panagement as discussed in the NRC Generic Letter 85-19.

a Finally, the present requirement of 1.0 CFR Part 50.72(g)(11/ii) for immediate notification if fuel clad failures exceed expected values should oreclude approeching the 800 hour0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> limit. Therefore, based on all of the above, the staff finds these chances to be acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These arandments involve a chanap in the installation nr use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The sta#f has determined that the amendments inecive no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of ary effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Tha Commission has previously published a propared finding that the amendments involve no siqnificant hazards consideration and there has been no public coment on such findina. According1v, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 651.??(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 651.2.2(b), no environmenta' impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
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 (?) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defensa and security or to the health and safety o# the public.
