The staff concludes that parts of the proposed changes are acceptable and that other parts of the changes are not acceptable. Accordingly, you are requested to resubmit your propo:ed license amendment, in light of staff's enclosed safety evaluation. In addition, the analysis of significant hazards considerations for the revised submittal should specifically address each of the standards in 10 CFR 50.92(c), as described in Generic Letter 86-03 " Applications for License Amendments", February 10, 1986.
