3. Technical Evaluation Southern Nuclear Operating Company has evaluated the benefits associated with changes to the organization structure and decided to move to a site vice president organizational structure. The evaluation included careful consideration of the licensing requirements and commitments of SNC as the licensed operator of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, and the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The resulting structure is common in the nuclear industry and places a vice president at each plant site and eliminates the project vice president position at the corporate office.

Enclosure 1 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications Southern Nuclear Operating Company Reorganization Evaluation of the Proposed Chance The changes to the organization structure will not change the unit organization requirements or staff qualification requirements contained in the plant Technical Specifications. Line management as required by the plant Technical Specifications also remains unchanged.

4. Reeulatorv Evaluation 4.1. Applicable Regulatory RequirementsJCriteria 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion I., "Organization" states:

". ..The persons and organizations performing quality assurance functions shall have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to identify quality problems; to initiate, recommend, or provide solutions; and to verify implementation of solutions. Such persons and organizations performing quality assurance functions shall report to a management level such that this required authority and organizational freedom, including sufficient independence from cost and schedule when opposed to safety considerations, are provided. Because of the many variables involved, such as the number of personnel, the type of activity being performed, and the location or locations where activities are performed, the organizational structure for executing the quality assurance program may take various forms provided that the persons and organizations assigned the quality assurance functions have this required authority and organizational freedom.

Irrespective of the organizational structure, the individual(s) assigned the responsibility for assuring effective execution of any portion of the quality assurance program at any location where activities subject to this appendix are being performed shall have direct access to such levels of management as may be necessary to perform this function."

Evaluations in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a) have been performed regarding the necessary revisions to each of the plant's Quality Assurance (QA) Programs to facilitate these changes. The changes to the organization structure do not affect the operational QA support function since the reporting relationship of the QA manager to the SNC executive vice president and the responsibilities of the onsite QA staff remain unchanged. The QA staff will continue to have the requisite authority necessary as well as the organizational freedom required to ensure the QA function remains independent.

Enclosure 1 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications Southern Nuclear Operating Company Reorganization Evaluation of the Proposed Chanee 4.2. Significant Hazards Consideration 10 CFR 50.92(c), the NRC provides the following standards to be used in determining the existence of a significant hazards consideration:

...a proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility licensed under $50.21(b) or $50.22 or for a testing facility involves no significant hazards consideration, if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Southern Nuclear Operating Company has reviewed the proposed license amendment and has concluded that the change does not involve a significant hazards consideration based upon the following discussion:

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

The proposed change to FNP, HNP, and VEGP TS involves SNC moving to a site vice president organizational structure. Since the proposed change is administrative in nature, it does not involve any physical changes to any structures, systems, or components, nor will their performance requirements be altered. The proposed change also does not affect the operation, maintenance, or testing of the plant. Therefore, the response of the plant to previously analyzed accidents will not be affected. Consequently, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?

As a result of the proposed change to the FNP, HNP, and VEGP TS, the qualification requirements for the unit staff position will remain unchanged and the plant staff will continue to meet applicable regulatory requirements. Also, since no change is being made to the design, operation, maintenance, or testing of the plant, no new methods of operation or failure modes are introduced by the proposed change. Therefore, the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated is not created.

Enclosure 1 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications Southern Nuclear Operating Company Reorganization Evaluation of the Proposed Chan~e

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant decrease in the margin of safety?

The proposed change to the FNP,HNP, and VEGP TS will have no adverse impact on the onsite organizational features necessary to assure safe operation of the plant since the qualification requirements for the unit staff remains unchanged. Since the proposed change is administrative in nature, it does not involve any physical changes to any structures, systems, or components, nor will their performance requirements be altered. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant decrease in the margin of safety.

Based upon the preceding information, SNC has concluded that the requested change does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

5. Environmental Consideration 10 CFR 51.22(~)(9)provides criteria for identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion from performing an environmental assessment. A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility requires no environmental assessment if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed license amendment will not:

1. Involve a significant hazards consideration,

2. Result in a significant change in the types, or a significant increase in the amounts, of any effluents that may be released offsite, or

3. Result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

SNC has evaluated the proposed changes and determined the changes do not involve (I) a significant hazards consideration, (2) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released off-site, or (3) a significant increase in the individual or cumulative occupational exposure. Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(~)(9),and an environmental assessment of the proposed change is not required.

RCS Pressure SL B 2.1.2 BASES SAFETY LIMIT 2.2.2.2 VIOLATIONS (continued) If the RCS pressure SL 2.2.2 is exceeded in MODE 3,4, or 5, RCS pressure must be restored to within the SL value within 5 minutes.

Exceeding the RCS pressure SL in MODE 3,4, or 5 is more severe than exceeding this SL in MODE 1 or 2, since the reactor vessel temperature may be lower and the vessel material, consequently, less ductile. As such, pressure must be reduced to less than the SL within 5 minutes. The action does not require reducing MODES, since this would require reducing temperature, which would corr~poundthe problem by adding thermal gradient stresses to the existing pressure stress.

If the RCS pressure SL is violated, the NRC Operations Center must be notified within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months , in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (Ref. 6).
