SELILEVALUA110N BY T11LQffXE_0f tELEALRM1pjLPLGutMjg R[L ATED TO AMENDtiLNT NO. 8L TO FA1]LLTJ_0Ef RAT!1(LLICMSL14QmjP_L-D DETROIT LDH ON QMPANY fE!ih2 DOCKET NO. 50-341 1.0 lt(IRQDKilM By letter dated November 26, 1991, the Detroit Edison Company (Deco or the licensee) proposed to incorporate programmatic controls for radiological effluents and radiological environmental monitoring in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications (TS) consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CfR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50.
At the same time, the licensee proposed to transfer the procedural details of the Radiological Effluents Technical Specifications (RETS) from the TS to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) or to the Process Control Program (PCP) for solid radioactive wastes as appropriate.
With these changes, the specifications related to RETS reporting requirements were simplified.
Finally, changes to the definitions of the ODCM and PCP were proposed consistent with these changes. Guidance on these changes was provhied to all power reactor licensees and applicants by Generic Letter (CL) 89-01 dated January 31, 1989 and Supplement I to GL 89-01, dated April 1991.
2.0 EVALVATION The licensee's proposed changes to the TS are in accordance with the guidance provided in iil 89-01 and Supplement I to the GL and are addressed below.
(1.)
The licensee has proposed to incorporate programmatic controls for radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring in Section 6.8.5, " Procedures and Programs," of the TS as noted in the guidance provided in GL 89-01.
The programmatic controls ensure that programs are established, implemented, and maintained to ensure that operating procedures are provided to control radioactive effluents consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.
(2)
The licensee has confirmed that the detailed procedural requirements addressing Limiting Conditions for Operation, their applicability, remedial acticns, associated surveillance requirements, or reporting requirements for the following specifications have been prepared to implement the relocation of these procedural details to the ODCM or PCP, These changes to the ODCM and PCP have been prepared in accordance with the prooosed changes to the Administrative Controls Section in the TS and shall be fully implemented within 60 days of issuance of this amendment.

They have been prepared for incorporation in the ODCM or PCP within 60 days-upon issuance of this-license amendment and may be changed by the licensee without prior NRC approval.. Changes to the ODCM and the PCP l-are documented and will be retained for the duration of the operating L
license in accordance with TS Section 6.10.3.

,e. -(3)
The licensee has proposed replacing the existing specifications in the Administrative Controls section of the TS for the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Specification 6.9.1.7, for the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, Specification 6.9.1.8, for the Process Control Program Specification 6.13, and for the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Specification 6.14, with the updated specifications that were provided in GL 89-01.
The following specifications that are included under the heading of Radioactive Effluents have been retained in the TS.
This is in accordance with the guidance of GL 89-01.

-EXPLOSlVE GAS MONITORING INSTRUMENTAT10ll 3/4.11.1.4 LlQUID HOLDUP TANK 3/4.11.2.6-EXPLCSIVE GAS MIXTURE 3/4.11.2.7 MAIN CONDENSER On the basis of the above, the staff finds that the changes included in the proposed TS amendment request are consistcM with the guidance provided in GL 89-01 and Supplement-1.
Becausa the control t/ radioactive effluents continues to be limited in accordance with operating procedures that must satisfy the. regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a,-and Appendix ! to 10 CFR Part 50, the NRC staff concludes that this change is administrative in nature and there is no impact on plant safety as a consequence. Accordingly, the staff finds the proposed changes acceptable,
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
in accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment.
The State official had no comments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment involves a change in the recordkeeping, reporting or administrative-procedures or requirements.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (56 FR 66918) ' Accordingly -the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
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.
