- 4 Descriotion of Chanae TVA proposes to modify the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SON) Units 1 and 2 technical specifications (TSs) to revise administrative titles in TS Section 6.0 This change will change the titles of:
Old                                        New Senior Vice President, Nuclear Power        President, TVA Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer Manager, i4uclear Experienc0                Manager, independent Review and Analysis Review / independent Safety Engineering Site Radiological Control Manager          RadCon/ Chemistry Control Manager Radiological and Chemistry Manager          RadCon/ Chemistry Control Manager Maintenance Manager                        Maintenance and Modifications Manager i
Quality Audit and Assessment Manager        Site Quality Manager Site Engineering Representative            Engineering and Materials Representative These changes have been incorporated throughout Section 6.0 of the TS. An additional typographical error has been corrected in this revision request for Unit 2, Section 6.8.4.f where a continuation page was inadvertently labeled as 6.8.5.f.
Reason for Chanae The TVA corporate and SON site organizational titles have been revised to the titles proposed in this request. This change is being proposed to provide consistency with the current TVA titles and the TVA Nuclear Organizational Topical Report, TVA-NPOD89 A, Revision 6.
l Justification for Chances The proposed changes are administrative in nature and do not impact the daily operation and controls involving operation of the nuclear unit. The changes involve only the titles of management positions and the responsibilities of these positions have remained basically the same. There is no nuclear safety impact as a result of the proposed changes, i

2-Environmental imoact Evaluation The proposed change does not involve an unreviewed environmental question because operation of SON Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this change would not:
: 1.      Result in a significant increase in any adverse environmentalimpact previously evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) as modified by NRC's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmentalimpact appraisals, or decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
: 2.      Result in a significant change in effluents or power levels.
: 3.      Result in matters not previously reviewed in the licensing basis for SON that may have a significant environmentalimpact.                                                              ,

1 TVA has evaluated the proposed technical specification (TS) change and has determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration based on criteria established in 10 CFR 50.92(c). Operation of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SON) in accordance with the proposed amendment will not                                        ,
: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident  ,
previously evaluated.                                                              '
The proposed changes only involve the administrative titles of management          ,
positions in TVA. Plant equipment and operating practices are not affected by the  l proposed administrative changes. Therefore, there is no increase in the            l probability or consequences of an accident.
: 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously analyzed.                                                                          I i
Plant features are not impacted by the proposed revision; therefore, this revision I can not create the possibility of a new or different accident
: 3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Plant setpoints and features that establish and maintain the margin of safety for SON are not involved in the proposed administrative TS change. Therefore, the margin of safety is not reduced by the proposed change.

y - 4 Descriotion of Chanae TVA proposes to modify the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SON) Units 1 and 2 technical specifications (TSs) to revise administrative titles in TS Section 6.0 This change will change the titles of: Old New Senior Vice President, Nuclear Power President, TVA Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer Manager, i4uclear Experienc0 Manager, independent Review and Analysis Review / independent Safety Engineering Site Radiological Control Manager RadCon/ Chemistry Control Manager Radiological and Chemistry Manager RadCon/ Chemistry Control Manager Maintenance Manager Maintenance and Modifications Manager i Quality Audit and Assessment Manager Site Quality Manager Site Engineering Representative Engineering and Materials Representative These changes have been incorporated throughout Section 6.0 of the TS. An additional typographical error has been corrected in this revision request for Unit 2, Section 6.8.4.f where a continuation page was inadvertently labeled as 6.8.5.f. Reason for Chanae The TVA corporate and SON site organizational titles have been revised to the titles proposed in this request. This change is being proposed to provide consistency with the current TVA titles and the TVA Nuclear Organizational Topical Report, TVA-NPOD89 A, Revision 6. l Justification for Chances The proposed changes are administrative in nature and do not impact the daily operation and controls involving operation of the nuclear unit. The changes involve only the titles of management positions and the responsibilities of these positions have remained basically the same. There is no nuclear safety impact as a result of the proposed changes, i l i {

1 l 2-Environmental imoact Evaluation The proposed change does not involve an unreviewed environmental question because operation of SON Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this change would not:

1. Result in a significant increase in any adverse environmentalimpact previously evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) as modified by NRC's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmentalimpact appraisals, or decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
2. Result in a significant change in effluents or power levels.
3. Result in matters not previously reviewed in the licensing basis for SON that may have a significant environmentalimpact. ,

DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION 5 h k l l I l I ._

    . g.

J l l Significant Hazards Evaluation 1 1 1 1 TVA has evaluated the proposed technical specification (TS) change and has determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration based on criteria established in 10 CFR 50.92(c). Operation of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SON) in accordance with the proposed amendment will not ,

1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident ,

previously evaluated. ' The proposed changes only involve the administrative titles of management , positions in TVA. Plant equipment and operating practices are not affected by the l proposed administrative changes. Therefore, there is no increase in the l probability or consequences of an accident.

2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously analyzed. I i

Plant features are not impacted by the proposed revision; therefore, this revision I can not create the possibility of a new or different accident

3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Plant setpoints and features that establish and maintain the margin of safety for SON are not involved in the proposed administrative TS change. Therefore, the margin of safety is not reduced by the proposed change. I
