RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1!L A CORDANCE WITH CJfER]C LETTFR 89-01 Gentlemen:

In accordance with thc provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, as required by 10 CFR 50.59(c)(1), Georgia Power Company (GPC) hereby proposes a change to the Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 lechnical Specifications (TS), Appendix A to Operating Licenses DPR-57 and NPF-5.

On January 31, 1989, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 89-01, " Implementation of Programmatic Controls for Radiological Ef fluent Technical Specifications into the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications and the Relocation of Procedural Details of Radiological Effluent Technical Specificotions to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual or to the Process Control Program." In GL 89-01, the NRC encouraged licensees to submit proposed changes to their -

plant TS which would relocate procedural details on radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), and relocate procedural details on solid radioactive wastes to the Process Control Program (PCP). Such action would simplify the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS), meet the regulatory requirements for radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring, and would be categorized as a line-item improvement to the TS consistent with the Commission's Interim Policy Statement on Technical Specification improvements.

GPC has reviewed the recommendations of GL 89-01 and has elected to implement the guidance contained therein to prepare proposed changes to the Plant Hatch Unit I and Unit 2 TS.

This TS change request will (1) incorporate programmatic controls in the Administrative Controls section of the TS which satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a and Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50, (2) relocate the existing procedural details in current TS involving radioactive effiuent monitoring instrumentation, the control of liquid and gaseous ef Guents, equipment requirements for 9209290250 920921 PDR AD9CK 05000321 S(ethls y~

Geo:gia Power 1 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission September 21, 1992 Page Two liquid and gaseous effluents, radiological environmental monitoring, and radiological reporting details from the IS to the ODCM, (3) relocate the definition of solidification and existing procedural details in the current TS on solid radioactive wastes to the PCP, (4) simplify the associated reporting requirements, (5) simplify the administrative controls for changes to the ODCM and PCP, (6) add record retention requirements for changes to the ODCM and PCP, (7) update the definitions of the ODCM and PCP consistent with these changes, (8) relocate definitions from the TS to the ODCM and PCP as appropriate, consistent witi, these changes, and (9) incorporn e terminology changes into the procedural details transferred from t'.e TS to the ODCM and PCP in order to facilitate the implementation of Gl 89-01.

The revised ODCM and PCP have been prepared iii accordance with the proposed changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TS so that their implementation can be coordinated with that of the proposed amendment, once issued.

Enclosure 1 provides the RETS cross-reference table which describes the disposition of the affected TS sections.

Enclosure 2 details the basis for our determination the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

Enclosure 3 provides page change instructions for incorporating the proposed change, following Enclosure 3 are the proposed TS pages and the associated markups of the existing pages. Also following Enclosure 3 are copies of the proposed ODCM pages, which are to be revised due to this sange, and a complete copy of the proposed PCP.

To allow time for procedure revisions and orderly incorporation into copies of the TS, GPC requests the proposed amendment, once approved by the NRC, be issued with an effective date to be no later than 60 days from the date of issuance of the amendment.

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this letter and all applicable enclosures will be sent to the designated State official of the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, i

RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERIC LET1ER 89-01 10 CFR 50.92 EVALUATION PROPOSED CHANGE:

The proposed changes to the Plant Hatch Unit I and Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TS) will implement the recommendations contained in Generic Letter (GL) 89-01. The proposed changes add new programmatic requirements governing radioactive effluents, radiological environmental monitoring, and snlid radioactive wastes to the Administrative Controls Section of the TS.

Procedural details contained in existing TS pertaining to radioactive effluents. -

radiological environmental monitoring, solid radioactive wastes, and associated reporting requirements are being relocated to the ODCM or the PCP, as appropriate. In additicn, changes are proposed to other portions of the TS to accommodate the incorporation of GL 89-01. The details concerning these changes are provided in Enclosure 1.

BASIS FOR PROPOSED CHANGE:

By letter dated January 31, 1989, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued GL 89-01, " Implementation of Programmatic Controls for Radiologicsl Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) in the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications and the Relocation of Procedural Details of RETS to the _

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (0DCM) or to the Process Control Program (PCP),"

and encouraged licensees to propose changes to their TS consistent with the guidance contained therein. Accordingly, Georgia Power Company (GPC) has prepared these proposed changes consistent with the guidance contained in GL 89-01. Such action will simplify the RETS, meet the regulatory requiremer.;s for radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring, and implement a line-item improvement to the TS, consistent with the Commission's Interim Policy Statement on Technical Specification Improvements.

ANALYSIS The level of radiological control will not be reduced by the proposed changes to the TS since compliance with applicable regulatory requirements governing radioactive effluents and radiological environmental monitoring, including 10 CFR 20.106, 40 CFR Part 190, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix 1 to 10 CFR Part 50 will continue to be maintained. The proposed changes will allow for the relocation of procedural details frca the RETS to the ODCM or PCP, as appropriate.

RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS JN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERIC LETTER 89-01 10 CFR 50.32 EVALUATION Accordingly, future changes to these procedural details will be contrclled by the controls for changes to the 00CM or PCP included in the proposed changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TS. These procedural details are not required to be included in the TS by 10 CFR 50.36'.

GPC has reviewed the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92 as they relate to the proposed RETS changes and has made the following determination:
1. The proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident _ previously evaluated. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and alter only the format'and location of programmatic controls and procedui i details relative to radioactive effluents, radiological environme,tal monitoring, solid ,

radioactive wastes, and associated reporting requictments, Compliance with applicable regul atory requirements will continue to be maintained. in addition, the proposed changes do not alter the conditions or assumptions in any of the FSAR accident analyses. Since the FSAR accident analyses remain bounding, the radiological consequences previously evaluated are not adversely affected by the proposed changes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the ,

probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. The proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different '

kind of accident from those previously evaluated. The proposed changes oo ,

not involve any change to the configuration or method of operation of any l plant equipment. Accordingly, no new failure modes have been defined for any plant system or component important to safety nor has any new limiting

, single failure been identified as a result of the proroced changes. Also, there will be no change- in types or increarc in the amounts of any radioactive effluents released offsite. 1herefore, it can be concluded that the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. The proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed changes do not involve any actual change in the

-methodology used in the control of radioactive effluents, soli? adioactive wastes, or radiological environmental monitoring. Thesc .anges are considered administrative in nature, provide for the relacation of

. procedural details outside the TS, and add appropriate administrative e controls to provide continued assurance of compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. These proposed changes al so comply -with the a

CONCLUSIONt Based on the preceding analysis, GFC has determined that the proposed _ changes to i

the TS will not significantly increase the probaoility or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, create the possibility of a ns or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. -or involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Therefore, GPC has determined that the proposed changes meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92(c) and do not involve a-significant hazards consideration t
