WASHINGTON, D.c. 2066H001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.164TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-28 VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION DOCKET NO. 50-271

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station is a boiling water reactor (BWR), model BWR-4, with a Mark I containment. By letter dated November 3,1998, as supplemented by letter dated December 15,1998, the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation, the licensee for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, submitted for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review a proposed change to the technical specifications (TS). The licensee proposed a number of minor corrections or clarifications which enhance the clarity of the Technical Specifications without materially changing meaning or application. The changes include corrections of typographical errors, administrative errors, and addition of component identification numbers to improve specificity and consistency. Enclosed is a table provided by the licensee describing the changes. The December 15,1998, supplement did not change the original no significant hazards conclusion.

2.0 EVALUATION 2.1 Specification of Component identification Numbers Many of the changes involved the specification of component identification numbers in TS including TS associated with surveillance requirements. The licensee provided the following as a basis for this change: This change achieves consistency with other TSs where component identification numbers are already included. Also, this avoids confusion and the potential for errors. Instrument tag numbers are indicative of the device providing the required TS function and are not inclusive of all components in the associated instrument channel. This is consistent with the methodology previously used to define instrument channels providing a TS function.

Other documents define all required components within a TS instrument channel.

TSs define " Operable" as "A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be operable or have operability when it is capable of performing its specified function (s). Implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s)." The addition of component identification numbers does not alleviate the requirement of the licensee to consider the unlisted components to determine operability of all TS components. Therefore, the staff considers the proposed changes acceptable.

2-l 2.2 Other Changes including Typographical and Administrative Corrections The licensee proposed to change TS T3.13.A.1 to indicate that the switchgear room actually consists of two fire areas, switchgear room east and switchgear room west, and 10 smoke sensors per area are required vs 20 for the two areas. This change was approved by TS Amendment 154 on March 6,1998; however, the licensee omitted updating this table as a part

~

l of the previous amendment request. The staff finds that this change is acceptable as it is consistent with the NRC safety evaluation dated March 6,1998, associated with TS Amendment 154.

The licensee proposed to correct the chloride ion concentration from 0.01 ppm to 0.1 ppm in TS l

3.6.B.2 for reactor coolant water. The licensee stated that this corrects a typographical error made during ;cformatting in 1994 and that the value should have remained 0.1 ppm as stated in the original TS and Amendment 91, the latest amendment to the TS page containing this value. The staff confirmed that the value specified by Amendment 91 issued on October 28, 1985, the current amendment number for this page, specified a chloride ion concentration of 0.1 ppm and the value was inadvertently changed during reformatting. The proposed change is therefore acceptable.

Numerous other minor changes were proposed such as changing " accident of abnormal" to l

accident or abnormal" on TS page 35. The staff has reviewed the proposed changes and has concluded that the changes improve the TS but do not change the meaning of the TS. The proposed changes are therefore acceptable.

3.0 STATE CONSULTATION

in accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Vermont State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes 1

surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined 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 is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (63 FR 66605). Accordingly, the amendment meets the l

eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR l

51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed Lbove, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
