Colunbia, South Carolina

SUBJECT:

SAFEGUARDS EVALUATION REPORT: WESTINGHOUSE APPLICATION TO AMEND INTERNATIONAL SAFEGUARDS CONDITION, JULY 25, 1997 BACKGROUND WES requested an amendment to international safeguards license condition SG 3.1.2 to add the recuirement to notify the DOE /NRC by Concise Note (Form DOE /NRC 740M) with 30 cays of receiving notification from the NRC that the facility has been identified under Article 39(b) of the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement. This was discussed with the NRC prior to the request for amendment.

QlSCUSSION In a discussion between WES and NRC, it was decided that WES should notify, by

" Concise Note" (Form DOE /NRC-740M), within 30 days, instead of in the quarterly update of the Design Information Questionnaire (D10) changes that are non substantive relative to the Transitional Facility Attachment. WES was essentially over-reporting this information. This change will make the WES reporting 9quirements consistent with the rest of industry.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The staff has determined that the proposed activities involved safeguards and material accountability, which are categorically excluded from the require-ments of prepare a site specific environmental assessment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is warranted for this action.

CONCLUSION The Region 11 Principal Ins)ector has no objection to this proposed action.

In addition, the Chief of tie International Safeguards Section FRIB, has no objection to the amendment.
