{{#Wiki_filter:' ["*%, UNITED STATES F NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION y .g WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 e ,,s* SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 37 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-35 i AND AMENDMENT N0.29 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-52 DUKE POWER COMPANY, ET AL. DOCKET N05. 50-413 AND 50-414 CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 INTRODUCTION By letter dated March 7,1986, and supplemented June 12 and July 1,1987, Duke Power Company, et al., (the licensee) proposed changes to Catawba Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TSs) to eliminate typographical errors, provide additional clarification, and improve consistency. The licensee's June 12, 1987, letter retracted one change to the Bases for an Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) interlock, P-11. The licensee's original request, dated March 7,1986, included a change of the nomenclature " charcoal adsorber" to " carbon adsorber". However, in response to NRC staff concerns regarding conformance to the nomenclature used in the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800), the licensee's July 1, 1987, letter proposed to change the words " charcoal adsorber" or " carbon adsorber" to " activated carbon adsorber." Because the June 12 and July 1,1987 submittals clarified certain aspects of the original request, the substance of the changes noticed in the Federal Register and the proposed no significant hazards determination were not affected. EVALUATION The staff has reviewed the above listed submittals and finds that, with the exception of item 9, all changes proposed by the licensee eliminate typo-graphical errors, provide additional clarification or improve consistency. Item 9 was found to be a technical change. i The following items provide descriptions and justifications of the proposed changes to the current Catawba Units 1 and 2 TSs: 1. Page 1-6, Definition 1.39, Ventilation Exhaust Treatment System, the word " charcoal" is changed to "tctivated carbon." This is an editorial change. 2. Page 2-6, TS 2.2.1, Table 2.2-1, (a) the words " TOTAL ALLOWANCE" are moved from the third data column to the first data column, and (b) the words " SENSOR ERROR" are moved from the fifth data column to the third data column. These are typographical corrections. 8712220195 871214 PDR ADOCK 05000413 P PDR

This is a technical chan allows the licensee to monitor reactor coolant system (RCS)ge that leakage once per 12 hours by using either the containment atmosphere gaseous monitor or the containment atmosphere particulate monitor to meet this Surveillance Requirement. Either monitor provides an acceptable method of measuring RCS leakage. Therefore, this change is acceptable. 10. Page 3/4 6-14 TS 3.6.1.8, Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.8, items a.,

The staff has reviewed and found acceptable the concept of 12 hour control room shifts (Catawba Units 1 and 2 Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-0954), Supplements 3 and 4). This is considered a clarification and removes ambiguities between the staff's findings and the Catawba TSs. 35. Page 6-18, TS 6.9.1.7, "on" is changed to "of." This change was previously approved in Amendments 10 and 3, respectively. Therefore, no action is being taken. The staff finds that proposed changes 1 through 35, with the exception of items number 9, 20, and 35, to the Catawba Units 1 and 2 TSs are administrative in that the objectives of the changes are to eliminate typographical errors, make editorial changes, improve consistency or adjust nomenclature. The changes do not affect safety and are, therefore, acceptable, j Item 9, related to Surveillance Requirement 4.4.6.2.la., allows use of either the containment atmosphere gaseous monitor or the containment atmosphere particulate monitor to detennine RCS leakage. Because either monitor provides an acceptable measurement method, this change is acceptable. Items 20 and 35 were approved in earlier amendments and require no further action. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments involve changes to the installation or use of facility com-ponents located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes in surveillance requirements. The staff has determined that the amend-ments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational exposures. The NRC staff has made a determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). These amendments also relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental imoact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments. _ CONCLUSION The Comission made a proposed determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register (51 FR 30565) on August 27, 1986. The Commissfor consulted with the state of South Carolina. No public comments were received, and the state of South Carolina did not have any comments.

We have 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 l will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and l security or to the health and safety of the public, i Principal Contributors: Kahtan N.
