SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 85 TO JACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-72 FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, ET AL.
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT NO. 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-302 INTRODUCTION By letter dated November 17, 1981, Florida Power Corporation (FPC, the licensee) made application to amend the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Crystal River Unit No. 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) to allow an increase in the reactor coolant system controlled leakage rate.
DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION Certain modifications have been made to the flow staging coils of the reactor coolant pump shaft seals to improve reliability. One result of these modifications is an increase in the leakage flow from the pump seals through the controlled bleed off line to the in,iection water supply system. The leakage increases from 1 gpm to 1.5 gpm for each of four reactor coolant pumps resulting in a total increase of 2 gpm.
The leakage is a controlled bleed off to the in.iection water supply system fof reuse within the plant, and therefore the safety of the plant is not reduced by this change. We therefore conclude the proposed Technical Specification change is acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
We have 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 eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 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.

. CONCLUSION We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
