UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION CAROLINA p0WER & LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of exemptions from the requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 to Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee), for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action:
The exemptions would modify Appendix R requirements as follows:
1.
Approve alternate fire protection features in the Reactor Buildings for Units 1 and 2 for safe shutdown system separation (Fire Areas RB1-1 and RB2-1, licensee items 7.2.1 and 7.2.3).
2.
Approve alternate fire protection features in the ECCS room for Units 1 and 2 for safe shutdown separation features and for unrated penetrations (Fire Areas RB1-6 and RB2-6, licensee items 7.2.2 and 7.2.4).
3.
Approve alternate fire protection features for safe shutdown system separation in the Diesel Generator Building Basement (Fire Area DB-1, licensee item 7.2.5).
4.
Approve alternate fire protection features fer safe shutdown system separation for the Service Water Building (Fire Area SW-1, licensee item 7.2.6).

. 5.
Approve alternate fire protection features for full area suppression for the Diesel Generator Building (Fire Area DG-8, licensee item 7.2.7).
6.
Approve alternate fire protection features for suppression in any
" area, room or zone" where alternate shutdown capability is provided for rooms in the control and diesel generator buildings (licensee items 7.2.8 and 7.2.9).
7.
Approve alternate fire protection features for fire suppression and i
detection, and emergency lighting for the east yard (licensee items 7.2.10and7.2.11).
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed exemptions are needed because the features described in the licensee's request regarding the existing fire protection at its plant for these items are the most practical method for meeting the intent of Appendix R and literal compliance would not significantly enhance the fire protection capability.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The proposed exemptions will provide a degree of fire protection that is equivalent to that required by Appendix R for other areas of the plant such that there is no increase in the risk of fires at these facilities.
Consequently, the probability of fires has not been increased and the post-fire radiological releases will not be greater than previously determined nor do the proposed exemptions otherwise affect radiological plant effluents.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with these proposed exemptions.
