2-The changes are consistent with the current standard technical specifica-tions and the fire protection guidelines contained in Appendix A to BTP APCSS 9.5-1.
The staff, therefore, finds them to be acceptab1'e.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment involves changes to include new requirements for a Halon 1301 fire suppression system to further enhance safety.
The staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any ef,fluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occulative occupational radiation exposure.
The Comission has previously issued proposed findings that these amend-ments involve no significant hazards considerations and there has been no public coment on such finding. Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Pursuantto10CFR51.22(b),noenvironmentalimpact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
4.0 CONCLUSION
Based on its evaluation, the staff concludes that the licensee's proposed 1
amendment to technical specification Sections 3.12.C and 3.12.E to incor-parate the cable vault Halon suppression system and fire detectors meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R and are, therefore, acceptable.
The staff has 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 nanner and(2)suchactivitieswillbeconductedincompliancewiththe Comission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
