SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT N0.22 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-57 PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC 8 GAS COMPANY ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated November 28, 1988, Public Service Electric & Gas Company requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-57 for the Hope Creek Generating Station. The proposed amendment would revise the emergency diesel generator fuel oil sampling requirements presently stated in Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.f.
Electric Power Systems, A.C. Sources Operating.
2.0 EVALUATION Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.f presently requires that fuel oil samples be obtained in accordance with ASTM D270 - 75. This ASTM standard was discontinued in 1984 and replaced by ASTM D4057. The new ASTM standard, just as the previous ASTM D-270, specifies the use of glass bottles or appropriately fabricated tin cans as sample containers; however, ASTM 04057 also permits the use of "unpigmented linear l
polyethylene bottles". Since polyethylene bottles are not subject to l
breakage and are used only once (thereby eliminating the need for decontamination prior to reuse), PSE&G considers them the sample
{
container of choice.
The requested change will allow the use of polyethylene bottles for fuel oil samples required by the Technical Specifications. There are no changes associated with the replacement of ASTM D-270 by ASTM 4057 that impact the sampling methods or the quality of our fuel oil samples.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment involves a change to a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and changes to the surveillance requirements. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the 8904030032 890324 PDN ADOCK 05000354 F
d 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 involves no significant hazards consideration and there i
has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR51.22(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 this amendment.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission made a proposed determination that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register (53 FR 53097) on December 30, 1988 and consulted with the State of New Jersey.
No public comments were received and the State of New Jersey did not have any comments.
The staff has 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 Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security nor to the health and safety of the public.
