SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N05. 139 AND 14 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. DPR-66 AND NPF-73 DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY OHIO UTISON COMPANY PENNSYLVANIA POWER COMPANY THE CLEVELAND ELECTRIC ILLUMINATING COMPANY ThT TOLEDO EDISON MiPANY REAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS NO. 1 AND NO.-2 DOCKET NOS. 50-334 AND 50-412 INTRODUCTION By letter dated January 5,1989, Duquesne Light Company (the licensee, acting as agent for the above utilities), submitted a request to amend the Technical Specifications for Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2.
These changes are all administrative in nature.
DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION (1) Index to the Unit Technical Specifications The index is updated to reflect sections deleted or added by previous amendments. The index contains no requirements and its modification has no effects on requirements in the Technical Specifications. These change are acceptable.
(2) Section 4.4.5.2, Steam Generator Tube Sample Selection and Inspection This section has been revised to delete specific references to the dates of ASME documents. The versions of the ASME documents to be used are clearly stated in 10 CFR 50.55a(g). Thus this change would eliminate future need of Technical Specification changes whenever the applicable ASME documents are revised. The revised section is consistent with Section 4.0.5, where inservice inspection is addressed. This change is acceptable.
(3) Section 4.11.3, Surveillance Requirement for Solid Radioactive Waste (Unit 1)
The contents of the semi-annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report has been expanded by an additional item 4.11.3.1.2.g.
Now the " classification and other requirements specified by 10 CFR Part 61" of solid wastes shipped offsite will also be reported. This new requirement is in accordance with 10 CFR 61, is identical to a corresponding requirement in the Unit 2 Technical Specification, and is acceptable.'

-2 (4) Sections 6.9.1 and 6.9.7, Reporting Requirements This section is revised to state that the NRC recipient for~ all routine and special reports is the " Document Control Desk." This change complies with 10 CFR 50.4(b)(1) and is acceptable.
(5)
Basis Section 3/4.2.2, Heat Flux and Nuclear Enthalpy Not Channel Factors This basis section has been revised by reducing the value of the burnup at which the maximum rod bow penalty on we operating limits must be evaluated.
The previous limit of.33,000 hdD/MTU has been reduced to 24,000 WD/MTU based on NRC appreval (letter from C. Ber11nger to E.P.
Rahe, Jr., dated June 18,1986) of the previous conservative evaluation made at the tin.e the rod bow report (December,1983) was approved. This results in a reduction in the maximum rod bow penalty from less than 3%
to less than 1.3%.-
The licensee will revise Analysis Report to reflect this changed basis. appropriate sections of the Updated Final S This change reflects an NRC approval issued to Westinghouse, and is acceptable.

l ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting or administrative L procedures or requirements, or make changes in technical specification bases to reflect previous staff approvals. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categoffcal erclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no etivironmental impact statement or
- environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
l CONCLUSION 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 will be conducted in compliar:ce with the Comission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
