4.0 STATE CONSULTATION 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, the [_] State official was notified 

of the proposed issuance of the amendment. 

The State official had [(1) no comments or (2) 

the following comments—with subsequent 

disposition by the staff]. 

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION 

The amendment[s] change[s] a requirement 

with respect to the installation or use of a 

facility component located within the 

restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 

or surveillance requirements. The NRC 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 the 

amendment involves no significant hazards 

consideration and there has been no public 

comment on such finding published [DATE] 

([ ] FR [ ]). Accordingly, the 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 the 

amendment. 

6.0 CONCLUSION 

The Commission 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 

endangered by operation in the proposed 

manner, (2) such activities will be conducted 

in compliance with the Commission’s 

regulations, and (3) the issuance of the 

amendment will not be inimical to the 

common defense and security or to the health 

and safety of the public. 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

Description of Amendment Request: 

[LICENSEE] requests adoption of an 

approved change to the standard technical 

specifications (STS) for Pressurized Water 

Reactor (PWR) Plants [NUREG–1430, 

NUREG–1431, or NUREG–1432] and the 

[LICENSEE] technical specifications (TS), to 

replace the current limits on primary coolant 

gross specific activity with limits on primary 

coolant noble gas activity. The noble gas 

activity would be based on DOSE 

EQUIVALENT XE–133 and would take into 

account only the noble gas activity in the 

primary coolant. The changes are consistent 

with NRC approved Industry/Technical 

Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard 

Technical Specification Change Traveler, 

TSTF–490. 

Basis for proposed no-significant-hazardsconsideration determination: As required by 

10 CFR 50.91(a), an analysis of the issue of 

no-significant-hazards-consideration is 

presented below: 

Criterion 1—The Proposed Change Does Not 

Involve a Significant Increase in the 

Probability or Consequences of an Accident 

Previously Evaluated 

Reactor coolant specific activity is not an 

initiator for any accident previously 

evaluated. The Completion Time when 

primary coolant gross activity is not within 

limit is not an initiator for any accident 

previously evaluated. The current variable 

limit on primary coolant iodine 

concentration is not an initiator to any 

accident previously evaluated. As a result, 

the proposed change does not significantly 

increase the probability of an accident. The 

proposed change will limit primary coolant 

noble gases to concentrations consistent with 

the accident analyses. The proposed change 

to the Completion Time has no impact on the 

consequences of any design basis accident 

since the consequences of an accident during 

the extended Completion Time are the same 

as the consequences of an accident during 

the Completion Time. As a result, the 

consequences of any accident previously 

evaluated are not significantly increased. 

Criterion 2—The Proposed Change Does Not 

Create the Possibility of a New or Different 

Kind of Accident from any Previously 

Evaluated 

The proposed change in specific activity 

limits does not alter any physical part of the 

plant nor does it affect any plant operating 

parameter. The change does not create the 

potential for a new or different kind of 

accident from any previously calculated. 

Criterion 3—The Proposed Change Does Not 

Involve a Significant Reduction in the Margin 

of Safety 

The proposed change revises the limits on 

noble gase radioactivity in the primary 

coolant. The proposed change is consistent 

with the assumptions in the safety analyses 

and will ensure the monitored values protect 

the initial assumptions in the safety analyses. 

Based upon the reasoning presented above 

and the previous discussion of the 

amendment request, the requested change 

does not involve a significant hazards 

consideration.
