SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION j
RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-68 GEORGIA POWER COMPANY, ET AL DOCKET N0. 50-424 l
V0GTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 1 l
l INTRODUCTION l
By letter dated August 26, 1987, Georgia Power Company, et al., (the licensee) requested a change to the Technical Specifications for Vogtle Electric Gener-ating Plant, Unit 1.
The proposed change would revise the action requirement actuation instrumentation (g Building Post-Accident Ventilation System (FHBPAVS) for inoperable Fuel Handlin l
Functional Unit 11 of Table 3.3-2).
I EVALUATION The proposed change achieves consistency within the Technical Specifications between Table 3.3-2 and specification 3.9.12 and does so in a conservative manner by deleting the option of potentially performing operations involving movement of fuel within the storage pool or crane operations with loads over the storage pool for up to 7 days with either no manual or automatic actuation of the FHBPAVS. The proposed change modifies the action statement to directly j
invoke' specification 3.9.12 thereby-prohibiting such operations until at least one FHBPAVS is operable. This change provides added conservatism to the Vogtle Technical Specifications by replacing an action statement which allows all FHBPAVS instrumentation to be inoperable for up to 7 days with one requiring imediate, appropriate corrective action if any FHBPAVS instrumentation is inoperable and, in turn, renders a corresponding train of the FHBPAVS inoperable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves a change in the use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The staff has deter-mined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released off-site and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Comission has previously issued a pro-posed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there have been no public comments on such finding. Accordingly, the amendment, meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.

CONCLUSION The Comission made a proposed determination that the amendment involves no l
significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register (52 FR 37546 ) on. October 7,1987, and consulted with the state of Georgia.
No public coments were received and the state of Georgia did not have any comments.
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 manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations, and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
