O 7590-01 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DETROIT EDISON COMPANY WOLVERINE POWER SUPPLY COOPERATIVE, INC.
DOCKET NO.-50-341-FERMI-2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance'of an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43, issued to the Detroit' Edison Company (DECO) and the Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative,-
Incorporated (the licensees) for the operation of Fermi-2 located in Monroe County, Michigan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action:
The proposed amendment would revise the Technical Specifications (TS)-
to clarify the requirements for operation with the Moisture Separator Reheater (MSR) out of service.
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensees' application for amendment dated January 27, 1988 as supplemented May 10, 1989.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed changes to the TS are required in order to properly reflect 1
the bases for operation with an MSR out-of-service.
The Fermi-2 transient l
l L
analyses take credit for the MSR being in service.
However, the TS do not l
l currently restrict operation with an MSR out-of-service.
I:
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed revision to the TS.
The proposed revision would (1) modify TS 3/4.7.9 by specifying 890906007s 890824 gDR ADOCK 05000341 PDC
O O
c
._ operating limitations of the MSR; (2) clarify that the limits in TS 3/4.2.3, Figure.3.2.3-1 (Curve B) apply to the operating scenario for the MSR out-of-service;and(3)provideanadditionallimitation(CurveC) tots Figure 3.2.3-1 for the operating scenario of an inoperable main turbine bypass and MSR out-of-service. Therefore, the proposed changes do not increase the l
probability or consequences of any accidents, no changes are being made in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite, and there is no significant i
L increase in the allowable individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.. Accordingly, the Comission concludes that this proposed action would result in no significant radiological impact and could result in the reduction of the radiological impacts.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed changes to l
the TS involve' systems located within the restricted area as defined in l
10 CFR Part 20. They do not affect nonradiological plant effluents and have no other environmental impact. Therefore, the Commission concludes that there are nc significant nonradiciogical environmental impacts associated with the proposed amendment.
The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on April 5,1988 (53 FR 11151). No request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
Alternative to the Proposed Action:
Because the Comission has concluded that there is no significant environmental impact associated with the proposed amendment, any alternative would have either no or greater environmental impact. The principal alternative wculd be to deny the recuested amendment. This would not provide the needed limitations for operation with an MSR out-of-service.

4 Alternative Use of Resources:
This action involves no use of resources not previously considered in
- connection with the " Final Environmental Statement Related to Operation of Fermi-2," dated August 1981.
Agencies and Persons Consulted The Commission's staff reviewed the licensees' request and did not consult other agencies or persons.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact state-ment for the proposed license amendment.
Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, the Commission concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated January 27, 1988 as supplement May 10, 1989, which are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., and at the Monroe County Library System, 3700 South Custer Road, Monroe, Michigan 48162.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of August 1989.
