SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 85 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N0. DPR-6 CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY BIG ROCK POINT PLANT DOCKET N0. 50-155
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, on August 29, 1983, in Federal Register, Volume 48 No. 168, amended its regulations, 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73, to revise immediate reporting requirements and to establish a new reporting system for significant events at nuclear power plants. On December 19, 1983, the former Division of Licensing issued Generic Letter No. 83-43, Reporting Requirements of 10 CFR 50, Sections 50.72 and 50.73, and Standard Technical Specifications (STS), informing all licensees of the revision to Section 50.72, Immediate Notification Requirements, and the addition of a new Section 50.73, Licensee Event Report System. The licensees were requested to update their Technical Specifications (TS) to include the new requirements and model STS were~provided showina the revisions that should be made in the " Administrative Control" and
" Definition" sections. The letter also requested the licensees to review and update other areas of the TS concerning reportability, as required.
On July 30, 1984, Consumers Power Company (the licensee) submitted a proposed amendment to the TS of Facility Operating License No. DPR-6 for the Big Rock Point Plant (BRPP). The proposed amendment adds the definition Reportable Event and adds it,to appropriate paragraphs and deletes specific reporting requirements that are now included in 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73. On May 24, 1985, the licensee submitted a new paragraph number for the definition, Reportable Event, due to an intervening amendmc.t and changed the number on appropriate pages.
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed changes to TS submitted by the licensee in response to Generic Letter 83-43 were similar to the model STS provided in the letter.
In addition the licensee had reviewed TS sections other than the Administrative and Definition sections to update other reporting requirements and references to bring them into line with the new regulations.
The imediate reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 are not cited in the i
TS since these regulations stand by themselves and inclusion in TS would be redundant. The new Licensee Event Report System of 10 CFR 50.73 has been included by providing the definition of the new term " Reportable Event," deleting the obsolete term " Reportable Occurrence, 6.9.1.8 Prompt 8605210073 860512 PDR ADOCK 05000155 P
.. Notification with Written Followup and 6.9.1.9, Thirty-Day Written Reports, and all references to these deleted sections.
The above changes were made by modifying the following TS Section 10, Administrative Control pages 10-8, 10-11, 10-14, 10-15, 10-16, 10-17, 10-18, 10-21, and Definition, naae 1-3.
The staff has reviewed these chances and find that they conform to the model TS provided with Generic Letter 83-43.
We have reviewed the above changes and find that they are administrative in nature and have no affect on safety. Therefore, we find the changes to be acceptable.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment relates to chanaes in recordkeeping, reporting, and administrative procedures and reouirements. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(bl no environmental impact statement nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
4.0 C,0NCLUSION The staff has concluded, ba<.ed on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endanoered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conoucted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security nor to the health and safety of the public.
