,,,,,# September 17, 1985 LS05-85-09-013 Docket No. 50-240 Mr. Dennis L. Farrer Director of Nuclear Licensing Comonwealth Edison Company Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690

Dear Mr. Farrar:

SUNECT: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AND LICENSE CHANGES RELATING TO DELETION OF RECIRCULATION E00ALIZEP VALVES Re: Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3 The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 84 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-25 for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit.3. This amendment is in response to your application dated May 30, 1985.

The amendment deletes License Paragraph 3.F and changes Section 4.6.2 of the Technical Specifications (TS) to reflect the removal of the equalizer line between the two recirculation loops along with the valves in the line. This will occur during the removal and replacement of the

~

recirculation system piping during the Fall, 1985 outage. The equalizer line was required to be closed at all times during reactor operation by Amendment No. 5 to DPR-25 dated August 29, 1975. This line serves no purpose during reactor operation and its removal will 1.nprove the integrity of the recirculation system since there will be fewer weldnents, which could be susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking, when the new recirculation piping is installed. The staff, therefore, finds the removal of the line and valves and the changes to the license and TS to be acceptable.

This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility conponent located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and a change to the surveillance requirements. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the 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 has been no public comment on such finding.

Accordingly, this amendment meets the elioibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFP 51.22(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.

September 17, 1985 Dennis L. Farrar 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 endargered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance o' this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

A Notice of Corsideration of Issuance of Amendment to License and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination erd Opportunity for Hearing related to the requested action was published in the Federal Register on July 17, 1985 (50 FR 29008). No public comments or requests for hearing were received.

For administrative convenience we are enclosing a revised page 4 of DPR-25 showing the change made by this amendrent. -

This action will appear in the Cornission's biweekly notice publication in the . Federal Register.
