SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING' AMENDMENT'NO.113 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N0. DPR-72 FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, ET AL.
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT N0. 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-302 INTRODUCTION By letter dated June 22, 1983, and revised February 24, 1984, Florida Power Corporation (FPC or-the licensee) proposed changes to their Technical Specifica-tions (1S) appended to Facility Operating License No. DPR-72 for the Crystal
~
RiverUnitNo.3NuclearGeneratingPlant(CR-3). The proposed changes would remove the requirement that the licensee have one hydrogen analyzer and one gas chromatograph operable and replace it with a requirement that two hydrogen monitors be operable..The change includes actions to be taken if. one or both of the hydrogen monitors should be found inoperable.
It also includes changes to the surveillance requirements by addressing the frequency and method of checking and calibrating the hydrogen monitors.
This change request is the result of the installation of two independent, in-place hydrogen monitors and of the requirements of Attachment 6 to Section II.F.2 of NUREG-0737.
EVALUATION The function of the containment hydrogen monitor is to measure the amount of hydrogen in the cor.tainment building after an accident. This change would simply replace the current requirement to have a hydrogen analyzer and a gas chromatograph operable with a requirement to have two hydrogen monitors operable.
I since the proposed change would ensure that the ability to measure containment building hydrogen concentration would te retained, the proposed chaage is acceptable.
In addition, the changes to the surveillance requirements were l
foJnd adequate by the Commission in a letter dated October 1,1984, and will j
onsure that hydrogen monitors will be operabit if naaded. Therefore, the changes to the wrveillance requirenenti are tiso 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 and changes to surveillance requirements. We have determined that the amendment involves 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 radiation exposure.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment 8905190027 890508 l

e 2-1 involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public l
coment on such finding. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental inpact statement or environmental assess-ment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment and changes to surveillance requirements.
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 compliance with the Comission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
