SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT N0.88 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-72 FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, ET AL.
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT NO. 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-302 INTRODUCTION By letter dated January 16, 1986, Florida Power Corporation (FPC or the licensee) requested amendment to the Technical Specifications (TSs) appended to Facility Operating License No. DPR-72 for the Crystal River Unit No. 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3). The proposed amendment would revise the tabular list of hydraulic snubbers from the Technical Specifications in accordance with the guidance pro-vided in Generic Letter 84-13 dated May 3, 1984, " Technical Specifications f
for Snubbers." This generic letter concludes that the tabular listing of snubbers currently included in the Technical Specifications may be deleted by any licensee submitting a license amendment.
This change will facilitate the timely implementation of the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Snubber Optimization Project, presently under review by the NRC staff, which is intended by FPC to be accomplished on RCPs during repair work on those pumps presently under way.
EVALUATION Generic Letter 84-13 states that the NRC staff has reassessed the inclusion of snubber listings in the TSs and concluded that such listings are not necessary provided the snubber TS is modified to specify which snubbers are required to be operable. Recordkeeping requirements remain unchanged. Since any changes in snubber quantities, types, or locations would be a change to the facility, such changes would be subject to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50.59 and would have to be reflected in the required records.
Enclosed with Generic Letter 84-13 are model TS pages.
The proposed change is administrative in nature and in itself does not affect plant design or operation, involve modifications to plant equipment, or make changes which would affect plant safety analyses. Any changes in snubber quantities, types, or locations would be a change to the facility and therefore would be subject to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59. The revised TS specifies which snubbers are required to be operable and does not change recordkeeping requirements, in conformance with Generic Letter 84-13. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed TS change is acceptable.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment relates to changes in administrative requirements. Accordingly, forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)gibility criteria for categorical exclusion set this amendment meets the eli Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
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.
