SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
, SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 7 TO FACILITY LICENSE NO. R-94 MANHATTAN COLLEGE DOCKET NO. 50-199
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Manhattan College submitted an application, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, for an amendment to the operating license for their 0.1W research reactor facility on February 3,1987. ,
The amendment request was for the Reactor Administrator to be able to 3
assume, in addition to his current duties, the duties of the Radiation Safety j Officer. Subsequent to the amendment request, Manhattan College agreed
]' to delete the inconsistency in Technical Specifications Section 6.3 which negated the required procedures listed in that Section.
2.0 EVALUATION The Technical Specifications for Manhattan College's reactor facility.
currently pemit the assumption of the duties of an administrative level by a designated alternate or higher level, conditional upon the replacement i
' possessing the appropriate qualifications. The position of the Radiation Safety Officer, while included in the current administrative organization, has not been defined as an administrative-level. This amendment permits the position and duties of the Radiation Safety Officer to be assumed by the Reactor Administrator, an administrative level directly superior.
The staff believes that the assumption of additional duties will- not
- overburden the Reactor Administrator because of the small administrative
' workloads of the positions related to a facility of small size and infrequent operating schedule.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
i This amendment changes 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 i Statement or Environmental Assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.

(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 accident previously evaluated, and does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety,)the consideration; amendment (2 there is reasonable doesthat assurance notthe involve a significant hara health and safety)of the public will not be endangered by the proposed activ and (3 such activities will be conducted in compliar.ce with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this anendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or the health and safety of the public.
