B l 5 i Safety Analysis in Accordance with Decommissionina Plan and' Technical Specifications: 1 (1) Will the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or \ malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated eitherin 'l the Decommissioning Plan or FSAR be increased? NO Justification For Answer: ,

          .The changes to the ODCM are administrative in nature and do not change              i the intent, nor the requirements, of the ODCM.- The probability of                 i occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment           ;

necessary for SAFSTOR is not increased. Changes are as follows: l a). Table of Contents. Daae 1 insert section 3.4.which was inadvertently

 -                 left out of Rev. 4 (identified in Audit 02-97-01, Open item C).

I b) Paoe 3 - add a definition for MPC as it applies to use at LACBWR. j c) Flaure 2.1 (oaae 9). Fiaure 2.4 (paae 23). and Table 2.1 (paae 25) - moved location in ODCM. Also removed short-lived isotopes no longer present at LACBWR due to SAFSTOR. d) Paoe 40 - change all monthly sampling and ana!ysis requirements for waste water to each discharge. Due to reduced liquid waste generation because of SAFSTOR, LACBWR does not require a monthly discharge of waste. e) Paoes 43 & 44 - remove reference to the Turbine Condenser monitor. Liquid waste discharges are not made if the Radwaste line monitoris not in service. The condenser monitor serves no function during SAFSTOR conditions.

             -f)   Table 3.3. pace 47 - change the minimum analysis frequency of the stack effluent gross alpha analyses from a quarterly composite to a weekly filter ' analysis, as is being done, to provide better alpha data.

f) Paae 49 - word correction: change particle to particulate (identified in j Audit C2-97-01, Open Item C).  ; h) Paaes 1.6.8.10.12.13.14.15.16.17.19.20.21.24.26.27.28.  !

29. 32, 36. 38. 42.45. 48.49. 50. 51. 57 - grammar corrections or format adjustments.

I o l I Safety Analysis in Accordance with Decommissionino Plan and Technical Specifications: l i (2) is there a possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than l previously evaluated in the Decommissioning Plan or FSAR being created? NO Justification For Answer: These changes are administrative in nature and will not change the requirements of the ODCM. No new accident or malfunction will be created. (3) Is the margin of safety as defined in the Bases for any Technical Specifications reduced? NO Justification For Answer: The changes to the ODCM are administrative in nature only. All present requirements are being maintained. No margin of safety will be reduced. l 1 1 (4) Will the proposed change result in a significant environmentalimpact not i previously evaluated in the Environmental Assessment in support of the i August 7,1991, Decommissioning Order or the Final Environmental j Statement (FES) related to operation of LACBWR, dated April 21,1980 ' (NUREG-0191)? NO Justification For Answer: This is only an administrative change to an existing document. No requirement is reduced; no environmental impact will occur from this i change. l I ODCM 2 of 2 Rev.5

and site-specific conditions determine the site-specific factors incorporated into the - liquid effluent dose calculation model: g 1. Liauid Dose Pathways 5 . S .Due to LACBWR's status as a fresh water site, there is no invertebrate pathway. The drinking water pathway is not included, since the nearest community which obtains its drinking water supply from the Mississippi River is h located at Davenport, Iowa, which is 195 miles downstream. The drinking water pathway represents < 0.01% of the dose to any organ. The irrigated foods

        =-                                 pathway is not included since the river water is not used for irrigation in this area C                          and the shoreline deposits pathway is insignificant for the Mississippi River. The

only significant dose pathway is the dose commitment due to ingestion of fish C from the Mississippi River waters. O j h ' 2. Dilution

           $k                                      The liquid effluent flow from the waste tanks is diluted by the combined p              -                . total circulating water flow for condenser cooling at both LACBWR and G-3, For y                                offsite dose calculations, no dilution by the Mississippi River flow is considered.

j Also, under SAFSTOR conditions batch discharges of liquid effluent normally take place durir.g less than 35 hours per month (< 5% of the time). Therefore,
