SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULAT10h RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.118TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-51 ARKANSAS POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE. UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-313 INTRODUCTION By letter dated November 17, 1986, Arkansas Power and Light Company (APAL or the licensee) requested an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TSs) appended to Facility Operating License No. DPR-51 for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (AND-1). The proposed amendment'would incorporate reporting requirements affected by 10 CFR Part 50, Sections 50.72 and 50.73, pursuant to Generic Letter No. 83-43 dated December 1983. Section 50.72 modifies the immediate notification requirements for operating nuclear power reactors and Section 50.73 provides for a revised Licensee Event Report System.
EVALUATION This amendment request was reviewed against the staff positions cor.tained in Generic Letter 83-43 and was found to be in conformance with that guidance.
Appropriate changes in the "Administr6tive control", and "Definiticris" sections l
were trade as well as in those sections of the Technical Specifications which address reporting requirements affected by the 10 CFR Sections 50.72 and 50.73 revisicr.s. Since the amendment incorporates the NRC provided guidance, is in compliance with the revised regulations, and since it makes changes which are administrative in nature, we find the amendment to be acceptable.
ENVIR0 MENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendment involves a change in the installation of use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The staff has determined th6t the arendment 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 exposures. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Section 52.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the Omendn. tnt.
