SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.101 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-46 i
NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT COOPER NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NO. 50-298
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated June 24, 1986 (Change No. 30), the Nebraska Public Power District (the licensee) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-46 for the Cooper Nuclear Station. The proposed amendment would change the Technical Specifications to clarify requirements relating to written procedures.
2.0 DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION l
The existing Technical Specifications require that written procedures be i
"provided and adhered to."
The proposed amendment would change the requirement to state that written procedures shall be " established, implemented, and maintained." The revised wording would more closel f
conform to that of the Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-0123 and, according to the licensee's submittal, would eliminate misinterpretations.
10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V requires that " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings." The proposed Technical Specifications requirement is consistent with the Regulations and closely conforms to the standard-Technical Specifications and thus the proposed amendment is acceptable.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
S This 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. The 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 i
that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative 8609230144 B60909 DR ADOCK 0500 0
s
.. 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.
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
4.0 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 Com-mission's regulations and the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
