1. Background and Reason for the Change Portland General Electric Company (PGE) announced permanent cessation of power operations of the Trojan Nuclear Plant (TNP) on January 4,1993. PGE submitted a proposed TNP Decommissioning Plan and Environmental Report Supplement on January 26,1995, which were approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on April 15,1996. The facility currently

' is undergoing active decontamination and dismantlement in accordance with the approved TNP ,

Decommissioning Plan. ,

, l The TNP Decommissioning Plan was submitted and approved in accordance with the NRC's rule governing decommissioning and termination oflicense,10 CFR 50.82, " Application for  !

Termination of License." This rule has since been revised. The revised rule, specifically 10 CFR 50.82(aX9), requires all power reactor licensees to submit a license termination plan, i either prior to or with the licensee's application for license termination, for NRC approval at least -

- two years before termination of the license date. Attachment III to PGE letter VPN-007-99 submits for NRC approval PGE-1078, " Trojan Nuclear Plant License Termination Plan."

Therefore, VPN-007-99, Attachment III, as submitted to the NRC on March 10,1999, satisfies the requirement of10 CFR 50.82(aX9).

10 CFR 50.82(aX10) also stipulates that the License Termination Plan shall be approved by license amendment, subject to such conditions and limi*.ations as the NRC deems appropriate and necessary. !Ihis proposed license change, provided as Attachments I and II to VPN-007-99, is submitted to satisfy the requirerr' nt of 10 CFR 50.82(aX10) for approval of the License .;

Termination Plan by license amendment. .  !

2. Description of Change  !

PGE proposes to amend the license to incorporate a new License Condition 2.C(11).

Attachment II contains the annotated License Conditions page.

The current license, which includes license amendments through Amendment 198, contains 1:ine

' License Conditions in Section 2.C. LCA 237, submitted by VPN-005-99," License Change  :

Application (LCA) 237, Revision 3, Spent Fuel Cask Loading in the Fuel Building," dated January 7,1999, proposes to add a License Condition 2.C(10). LCA 237 is anticipated to be implemented prior to this LCA 247. Therefore, this proposed license change will be assigned the next sequential number, anticipated to be License Condition 2.C(11), as follows:

"(II) ' License Termination

- The licensee shall implement and maintaF 4 effect all provisions of the approved License Termination Plan as described in PGE-10 N, " Trojan Nuclear Plant License Termination Plan," and as approved in the SER dated - .' The licensee may make changes to POE-1078 without prior rpproval provided the proposed changes do not:

(a) Involve an unreviewed safety question or changes to the technical specifications as specified in 10 CFR 50.59; or (b) 1 Violate the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(6)."

3.- No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92, " Issuance of Amendment," this license amendment request conforms to the standards for a determination of no significant hazards consideration based upon the following:

1. Tiw proposedlicense amendment does not involve a signipcant increase in the probability or consequences ofan accident previously evaluated \

\

The requested license amendment does not authorize additional plant activities beyond those that already may be conducted under the approved TNP Decommissioning Plan and ' j

' the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR). Accident analyses are included in the  !

appmved TNP Decommissioning Plan and incorporated into the TNP DSAR. No systems, structures, or components that could initiate or be required to mitigate the consequences of

. an accident are affected by the proposed change in any way not previously evaluated in the ,1 approved TNP Decommissioning Plan and DSAR. Therefore, the proposed change is administrative in nature and as such does not involve a significant increase in the ' )

probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. The proposed license amendment does not create thepossibility ofa new or diferent kind ofaccidentfrom any accidentpreviously evaluated }

. The requested license amendment does not authorize additional plant activities beyond s those_that already may be conducted under the approved TNP Decommissioning Plan and '  ;

j ,

the DSAR. -Accident analyses are included in the approved TNP Decommissioning Plan

~

, - and incorporated into the DSAR. The proposed change does not affect plant systems, structures, or components in any way _not previously evaluated in the approved TNP

. Decommissioning Plan and DSAR, and no new or different failure modes will be created.

' Therefore, the proposed change is administrative in nature and as such does not create the possibilitp of a new or different kind of acddent from any accident previously evaluated. i r _

3. The proposed license amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of l safety.  :

Approval of the TNP License Termination Plan by license arnendment is administrative in nature since the decommissioning and fuel storage activities described in the TNP License l

Termination Plan are consistent with those in the approved *iNP Decommissioning Plan and DSAR. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a r margin of safety.  ;

Based on the precedLig analysis, it is concluded that the requested amendment to Trojan Facility i Operating (Possession Only) License NPF-1 is acceptable, and involves no significant hazards  !

consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92. I

4. EnvironmentalImpact Considerations Determination This amendment request satisfies the criteria specified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for a categorical exclusion from the requirements to perform an environmental assessment or to prepare an environmental impact statement. The specific criteria of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) are addressed as follows:

(i) The amendment imrolves no sigm*ficant hazards consideration.

As demonstrated above, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

'(ii) There is no sigm'ficant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts ofany efluents that may be released ofsite.

The requested license amendment does not authorize additional plant activities beyond those that may already be conducted under the approved TNP Decommissioning Plan and the DSAR. The TNP Supplement to Applicant's Environmental Report- Post Operating License Stage, prepared and submitted in conjunction with the TNP Deconunissioning Plan and approved by the NRC, concluded that decommissioning activities would be 4 accomplished with no significant adverse environmental impacts. ' Die TNP License Termination Plan evaluates this conclusion and determines that there is no new information or significant environmental change associated with ' activities described in the TNP License Termination Plan. Thus, the proposed change will result in no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.

(iii) There is no sigm'ficant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation j exposure. - -

The requested license amendment does not authorize additional plant activities beyond those that may already be conducted under the approved TNP Decommissioning Plan and the DSAR. The TNP Supplement to Applicant's Environmental Report - Post Operating

~ License Stage, prepared and submitted in conjunction with the TNP Decommissioning Plan

' and approved by the NRC, concluded that decommissioning activities would be -

accomplished with no significant adverse environmental impacts. The TNP License.

Termination Plan evaluates this conclusion and determines that there is no new information or significant environmental chang; associated with activities described in the TNP License

. Termination Plan. Thus, the proposed change will result in no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

. Based on the prWing analysis, it is concluded that the proposed change to the 'INP license  !

satisfies the criteria delineated in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for categorical exclusion from the  !

requirements of an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment.

, 5. Schedule Consideration Following approval, it is requested that 30 days be provided for implementation of this amendment.
