ATTACHMENT B i
Proposed Technical Specification Change No. 106, Revision 5 No Significant Hazard Evaluation Description of amendment request: The proposed amendment would revise our previous submittals concerning the Nuclear Group organization and administrativo controls to address the NRC recommendations identified by letter dated March 5, 1987. Provided are the recommendations in the order listed in the NRC Interim Safety Evaluation Summary followed by the applicable response:
- 1. Figurc 6.2-1 should be changed to show the ORC reporting to the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Group; and the ISEG reporting to the Vice President, Nuclear.
Response
Figure 6.2-1 was revised and provided to the NRC in Change Request 106, Revision 4 to show the ORC reporting to the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Group and the ISEG reporting to the Manager, Nuclear Safety who reports to the Vice President, Nuclear. Thorofore, no additional revision is required.
- 2. Section 6.5.1.2 should be changed to correctly specify tho
- qualifications of OSC members.
Responso Section 6.5.1.2 has boon revised to correct the typographical error. See the attached revised page 6-5.
j'
- 3. Section 6.8 should be changed to provide for indopondent qualified review and approval by a designated manager of changes ,
to procedures that are not reviewod by the OSC and approved by 1 the Plant Manager.
Responso Section 6.8.2 has been revised to c1carly specify the review and ,
approval requirements for proceduro changes that do not roccivo l j OSC review. The phrase all proceduro chancos in the first <
! sentonce has bocn doloted, since this was incorporated by a previous revision as a means to satisfy the above recommendation. However, to provido additional clarification, the following sentonce has been added Chancos to proceduros and administrativo policios of 6.8.1 abovo that do not roccivo osc review, such as correcting typographical errors, reformatting procedures and other changes not affecting the purposo for which the procedure is performed may receive an indopondent review by a qualified individual and approved by a dosionated manaqor s Soc attached revised page 6-13.

Responso The change to Section 6.5.2.6 has boon withdrawn, thoroforo, Section 6.5.2.6 has boon revised, relative to previous submittals, to incorporato the existing wording. Thoroforo, this section will be consistent with the Standard Technical Specification wnich requires a quorum consisting of the Chairman or designated alternato and 4 members including alternatos. This is consistant with current ORC membership and satisfios the NRC requirements. In addition, Section 6.5.2.7.j has boon revised to ensure the ORC rovicws the annual report prior to submittal. The ;
phraso prior to submittal has boon moved to the end of tho sentenco. Sinco the results of the Radiological Monitoring i
Program is part of the annual report and is submitted with the annual report, the ORC will review the annual report before it is submitted to the NRC.
- 6. Section 6.5.2.9 should be changed to show that the ORC reports to and advisos the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Group.
Responso i Section 6.5.2.9 was revised to show that the NRC reports to and advisos the Senior Vico President, Nuclear Group and was provided to the NRC in Chango Roquest 106, Revision 4. Thoroforo, no additional revision is required.

Attcchment
'* Pcg3 3 Basis for no significant hazard determination: Based on the criteria for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists as setforth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), plant operation in accordance with the proposed amendacnt would not:
- 1. Involvo a significant increase in the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident previously evaluated because:
These changes are adninistrative in nature, such as the chango to section 6.8 which adds provisions for independent review of procedures that do not roccivo OSC review by a qualified individual and approved by a designated manager. The change to section 6.5.2.6 withdraws our previous change to this section and returns to the existing wording. This is consistent with the Standard Technical Stocification wording and clearly requires a quorum consisting of the chairman or designated alternate and 4 members including alternatos.
The chango to Section 6.5.2.10.c requires preparation and review of ORC mooting minutes within 14 days to reflect the Standard Technical Specification requirements and NRC recommandations. A chango to Section 6.5.2.7.j has boon incorporated to provido additional clarification to ensuro the ORC reviews the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. Thoroforo, thoso changes will not affect the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident previously ovaluated sinco they are administrativo and not technical in naturo.
- 2. Create the possibility of a now or different kind of accident from any accident previously ovaluated becauso: No changos in plant operations or to equipment or components is required.
Thoso changos are administrativo in naturo, do not affect the safe operation of the plant and do not affect the accident analysos of UFSAR Goction 14. Thoroforo, thoso changos will not !
creato the possibility of anew or different kind of accident from those described in t?no UFSAR.
- 3. Involvo a significant reduction in the margin of safoty because:
Those changos are administrativo in naturo, do not affect the bases for any technical specification and will not affect tho l safo oporation of the plant, t
, Conclunion The proposed changos do not involvo a significant increano in the probability or consequonco of a previously evaluated accident, do not croato the possibility of anow or difforont kind of accident and do not involvo a significant reduction in a margin of safoty. Thoso changos reflect tho NRC recommandations identified in the NRC Intorim i Safety Evaluation dated March 5, 1987. Thoroforo, based on the abovo, it is proposed to charactorizo the chango to involvo no significant hazard considoration.
