SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.17 TO AMENDED FACILITY OPERATING l) CENSE NO. R 52 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA DOCKET NO. 50113
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated October 22,1997, the University of Arizcna (the licensee) submitted a request for amendment to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the University of Arizona Research Reactor. The amendment updates the reporting requirements for a change in the NRC's organization and corrects a typographical error.
2.0 EVALUATION The changes to the reporting requirement replace the designation of the regional office with the Non Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate. This is consistent with the current NRC organization responsibility for inspections at non power reactors, such as the University of Arizona Research Reactor, Therefore, this change is acceptable.
The typogr9phical change replaces "officiency" with
- efficacy," does not change the intent of the TSs reporting, and, therefore,is acceptable.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIO This amendment involves changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. 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(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The staff has concluded, on the basis of the considerations discussed above, that (1) because the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated, or create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any chedent previously evaluated, and does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety, the amendment does not involve a significant 9901060234 971218 PDR ADOCK 05000113 P PDR _
l l
3-harard's consideration; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed activities; and (3) 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 the health and safety of the public.
