SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT N0. 127 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-57 GEORGIA POWER COMPANY OGLETHORPE POWER CORPORATION MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC AUTHORITY OF GEORGIA CITY OF DALTON, GEORGIA EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT N0. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-321
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated January 17, 1985, Georgia Power Company requested an
,I amendment to the Hatch Unit 1 Operating License that would change Technical Specification (TS) Table 3.13-1 to reflect changes in the number and location of fire detectors that result from Control Room and Appendix R modifications.
2.0 EVALUATION As a result of Control Room wall modifications to facilitate the installation of the Analog Transmitter Trip System (ATTS), the Unit 1 Control Room area was expanded to include the area formerly occupied as peripheral rooms.
Fire detectors installed in the former peripheral rooms have been included in the expanded Unit 1 Control Room area.
Additional detectors were installed in the new peripheral rooms constructed as a result of the Control Room modifications. The total number of detectors and the minimum number required to be operable, as listed in TS Table 3.13-1, Items A4.1, A4.2, and A4.3 have been revised to reflect these modifications.
Table 3.13-1 was also revised to add a new item (A.3.3.4) that reflects the addition of fire detectors to the LPCI Inverter Room by listing the total number of detectors in this room and the minimum number required to be operable. This modification constitutes an enhancement of the fire protection program.
On the basis of our review, as discussed above, we have determined that these proposed TS changes are needed to update the existing TSs to assure l
appropriate operability and surveillance requirements are provided and l
have concluded that they are acceptable, f

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
S 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 surveillance requirements. 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 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 coment 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 Commission's regulations and the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
