I 7590-01 P UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-155 BIG ROCK POINT PLANT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-6, issued to Consurners Energy Company (the licensee). The amendment would revise Appendix A Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Big Rock Point (BRP) Plant, a permanently shutdown nuclear reactor facility located in Charlevoix County, Michigan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Prooosed Action:
The proposed action would make changes to the TSs by deleting (1) the definition Site Boundary and its use throughout the TSs, (2) Figure 5.1-1, the BRP site map, (3) TS 5.1.1 .
paragraph numbering, and (4) other site-specific information describing the site and site boundary. The proposed action would also make editorial or administrative changes to TSs 6.6.2.5.g, h, and j and 6.6.2.6.b for the above four changes. The propoW action is in i
accordance with the licensee's application for amendment dated May 11,1999, as supplemented by letters dated June 3 and July 28,1999.
The Need for the Prooosed Action: 1 The proposed action would, for item (1) above, remove from the TSs a definition that is not needed because Site Boundary is defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The TSs and Part 20 '
definitions are equivalent. For item (2), TS Figure 5.1-1, the BRP site map, is equivalently 1
= = - - - = = = = - -
. . = =- - i
2 represented in the licensee-controlled Final Hazards Summary Report (FHSR) and this type of site-specific information is not required to be in TSs under 10 CFR 50.36a requirements.
Furthermore, this change to the TSs is consistent with NRC guidance in NUREG-1433,
" Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BW.Y4." In concert with Section 50.36a requirements, NUREG-1433 provides guidance in determining a minimum set of standard requirements for permanently shutdown reactor facilities. Item (3) is administrative in nature in that it removes TS paragraph numbering due to the removal of site-specific information as described in item (4). Item (4) would delete certain site-specific information from the TS description of the BRP site. Most of this site-specific information is already contained in .
the licensee's FHSR. This information includes distances from the reactor centerline to th'e nearest site boundary. The information that is not currently in the FHSR will be placed in the FHSR as committed by the licensee in its letter of July 28,1999. Regarding the last item, editorial and administrative changes were necessary as a result of the four changes made above.
EnvironmentalImpacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed amendment to the BRP TSs and cor.cludes that issuance of the proposed amendment will not have an environmentail impact. The proposed change in TS site specific information is consistent with the regulations and regulatory guidance and is considered editorial and administrative in nature. The licensee does not propose any disposal or relocation of nuclear fuel or any changes to structures, systems, components, or site boundaries.
The proposed action will not increase the probability or consequences of accidents, no c%anges are being made in the types of any effluents that may be released off site, and there is no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.

'. s- .- .
3 l With regard to potential non-radiological impacts, the pioposed action does not involve any historical sites. It does not affect non-radiological plant effluents and has no other environmental impact. Therefore, there are no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. I Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
Altematives to the Proposed Action:
As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action (i.e., the "no-action" attemative). Denial of the application would result in no change in =
current environmentalimpacts. The environmentalimpacts of the proposed action and the l alternative action are similar.
Alternative Use of Resources:
4 This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in environmental reviews for the BRP plant.
Aaencies and Persons Contacted:
)
in accordance with its stated policy, on June 7 and August 9,1999, the staff consulted with the State of Michigan official, Mr. David W. Minnaar, Chief, Radiological Protection Section, Drinking Water and Radiological Protection Division, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. The State official had no comments.
ELitDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT On the basis of the environmental assessment, the Commission concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
Accordingly, the Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. -
