g 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION HISSISSIPPI POWER & LIGHT COMPANY SYSTEM ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
SOUTM MISSISSIPPI ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATION DOCKET NO. 50-416 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO $1GNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an arendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-29 issued to Mississippi Power & Light Company, System Energy Resources, Inc., and South Mississippi Electric Power Asscciation for operation of the Granc Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS), Unit 1, located in Claiborne County, Mississippi.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Froposed Action:
TheproposedamendmentwouldchangetheOperatingLicense(0L)anothe Technical Specifications (TS) to incorporate changes resulting from the May 26, 1987 revision to 10 CFR Part 55, "Operators' License."
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application for amendment dated December 16, 1987, as revised August 3, 1988.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed changes are needed to update the qualification requirements of training center instructors and unit operators personnel and make the OL and TS consistent with the May 26, 1987 revisions to 10 CFR Part 55.

2 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commiss1on has completed its evaluation of the proposed change to the OL and TS and has concluded that the proposed amendment would not adversely affect safe operation of the facility. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not significantly increase the probability or consequences of any accident.
The Commission also concluded 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 should be no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the Commission concluded that this proposed action would result in no significant' radiological environmental impact.
With regard to potential non-radiological impacts, the proposed change to the TS involves requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
It does not affect non-radiological plant effluents and has no other environmental impact.
Therefcre, the Commission concludes that there are no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed amendment.
Alternative to the Proposed Action:
Since the Commission concluded that there are no significant environmental effects that would result from the proposed action, any alternatives with equal or greater environmental impacts need not be evaluated.
The principal alternative would be to deny the requested amendment.
This would not reduce environmental impacts of plant operation and would result in reduced operational flexibility.
3 Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in the "Final Environmental Statement related to the operation of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2," dated September 1981.
Agencies and Persons Corgulted:
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's request and did not ccqsult other agencies or persons.
FINDING 0F N0 SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed license amendment.
Based upon the foregoing environmental asses ment, we conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated December 16, 1987, as revised August 3, 1988, which is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20555 and at the Hinds Junior College, McLendon Library, Raymond, Mississippi 39154.
