FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, ET AL.
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT NO. 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-302 BACKGROUND By letter dated May 20, 1987, Florida Power Corporation (FPC) proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Crystal River Unit No. 3 Nuclear Generating Plant. The proposed changes (1) reflect the installation of a dedicated emergency feedwater (EFW) tank which will serve as the primary source of water for the emergency feedwater system, and (2) update the Bases to reflect the installation of the dedicated emergency feedwater tank and the analysis clarifications which are based on improved understanding of the length of time and amount of feedwater required for cocidown following a postulated loss of offsite power.
DISCUSSION The dedicated EFW tank, previously reviewed by the NRC staff, has been designed to meet or exceed the design requirements of the existing condensate storage tank.
It is a seismic Category I structure and provides protection against tornado missiles, as well as wind and wave loads.
The condenser hotwell remains the backup supoly with corresponding surveillance requirements.
The proposed changes to the Crystal River TS Sections 3.7.1.3, 4.7.1.3.1 and 4.7.1.3.2 are identical to the current sections with " emergency feedwater tank" substituted for " condensate storage tank".
The staff finds these changes acceptable.
The proposed changes to the Bases Section 3/4.7.1.3 make it a more detailed discussion of how the EFW tank supply is used and its limitations.
The staff finds these changes acceptable.
Therefore, modifications to the TS and Bases proposed in this amendment by FPC for the Crystal River Nuclear Plant, Unit 3 concerning the EFW tank are judged by the NRC staff to be adequate and acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
We have determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in 8712280078 871214 PDR ADOCK 05000302 l

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 indivi-l dual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no signifi-l cant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.
l Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical l
exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no l
environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
l CONCLUSION We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
l
.(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public l
will not be ende,gered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations I
and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense l
and security or to the health and safety of the public.
