1.0 INTRODUCTION
On January 14, 1985, the staff issued Amendment No.109 to Facility Operating License (DPR-49)fortheDuaneArnoldEnergyCenter(DAEC). This amendment incorporated the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) into the DAEC operating license.
2.0 EVALUATION By letter April 24, 1987, the Iowa Electric Light and Power Company (the licensee) proposeo a license amendment modifying portions of the DAEC Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS). These proposed changes occur on pages iiia, 3.14-1, 3.14-2, 3.14-3, 3.14-4, 3.14-6, 3.14-12, 3.14-13, 3.15-1, 3.15-2, 3.15-3, 3.15-4, 3.15-5, 3.15-6, 3.15-12, 3.15-13, 3.15-14, 3.15-15, 3.16-1, 3.16-2, 3.16-4, 3.16-5, 3.16-11, and 3.16-12 of the current DAECTechnicalSpecifications(TS).
The staff has reviewed these proposed changes anc has determined that they are consistent with the staff's model RETS for Boiling Water Reactors, NUREG-0473, Revision 2 February 1980.
These changes are administrative in nature and incorporate clarifications as well as typographical corrections to improve format consistency with the rest of the DAEC TS. These changes do not affect the technical content or intent of the existing RETS. Therefore, the staff finds the proposed Technical Specification changes to be acceptable.
