+ October 21, 1997 DOCKET: 70-1151 LICENSEE: Westinghouse Electric Corporation Commercial Nuclear Fuel Division Columbia, South Carolina SUBJECT

• SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT: FREQUENCY OF EMERGENCY EXERCISES filSL dfD By appl ation dated August 11, 1997, Westinghouse requested that the frequency of emergency exercises in the License Application be changed from annual to biennial to be co..sistent with the Emergency Plan.

DIECl!11LQH Recently, Westinghouse noted in two places of the License Application (Section 2.1.2, page 2.4 and Paragraph 8.1.1(i), page 8.1) that the frequency of emergency exercises was annual instead of biennial. Westinghouse's j5 Emergency Plan was previously revised to extend the frequency from annual to biennial for emergency exercises to test response to simulated emergencies in accordance with 10 CFR 70.22(1)(3)(xii) and Regulatory Guide 3.67, " Standard Format and Content for Emergency Plans for Fuel Cycle and Materials facilities." In order to correct this error and maintain consistency with the Emergency Plan, Westinghouse requested that its License Application be changed to biennial in the two places that the annual frequency was incorrectly referenced.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW These changes are considered administrative in nature. The staff has determined that the proposed changes do not adversely affect public health and safety or the environment. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11),

neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is warranted for this action.

CONCLUSION The staff concludes that the licensee's request to correct the frequency of emergency exercises in the License Application from annual to biennial to be consistent with the Emergency Plan and 10 CFR 70.22(i)(3)(xii) is acceptable.

The Region 11 inspection staff has no objection to this pr posed action.
