JUN 161987 UNC, Inc., SER 2 Conclusion / Recommendation The staff concludes that the organizational changes maintain reasonable independence between the functions of safety and operations. The changes in nuclear safety limits use the general safety criteria previously approved in the license. The revisions should cause no undue risk to the public health and safety. Accordingly, approval of the amendment application is recommended.

l The Region I Principal Inspector has no objection to this action.
