TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1, 2 AND 3

DOCKET NOS. 50-259, 50-260 AND.50-296

1.0 Introduction

By letter dated May 15, 1981 (TVA BFNP TS 163) and supplemented by letter dated July 13, 1981, the Tennessee Valley Authority (the licensee or TVA) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (Appendix A) appended to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52 and DPR-68 for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The proposed amendments 4pd revised Technical Specifications would revise the administrative coinirols section of the Technical Specifications to reflect changes in the TVA and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFNP) organizations.

2.0 Discussion and Evaluation

The proposed changes only-involve Section 6.0 (the Administrative Controls section) of the Technical Specifications. A thorough discussion and justification for each change was provided by TVA in their submittals referenced above. We have reviewed the changes and have concluded they are acceptable. A summary description of the changes is outlined below.

The proposed changes:

a. Reflect that TVA's Division of Power Production has been separated into-two divisions--the Division of Nuclear Power and the Division of Fossil and Hydro Branch. The former Nuclear Generation Branch is now the Division of Nuclear Power.

b. Following the March 22, 1975 fire an overall fire restoration coordinator position was established. The position was abolished when the restoration was completed. Reference to this position in the Technical Specification was deleted by Amendment Nos. 71, 68 and 43 issued June 18, 1981 except for one reference in Section 6.1.H.

c. There are about 1,000 people regularly at the BFNP associated with normal operation of the plant. In addition, there is in the order of 400 additional field service personnel at theplant to handle major maintenance and prepare for the modifications and overhaul work performed during refueling outages. During outages, the total work

force on site can approach 3,000 people. Initially, BFNP had one assis'tant plant superintendent. In January 1981 a second assistant plant superintendent was added. Recently, a third assistant plant superintendent was authorized. Section 6.1 of the Technical Specifications is being revised to reflect this change. One assistant superintendent will be responsible for engineering and operations, another will be responsible for maintenance, and the third is responsible for health physics, safety, security, training and administrative services. The health physics organization is placed under the Health and Safety Services, Assistant PlantiSuperintendent. Thus, the Health Physics Supervisor reports to an'aisistant superintendent and is independent from plant operations. This is in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8, "Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposure at Nuclear Power Stations Will Be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable" and NUREG-O731,-"Criteria for Utility Management and Technical Competence" and is acceptable. The quality assurance supervisor still reports directly to the plant superintendent; there is no change in this area.

d. Secti.on 6.2.B of the Technical Specifications lists the duties, functions and membership of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC). With the new organization, new section supervisors have been added and the titles for some groups have been revised. Section 6.2.B is being changed to revise the membership of the PORC consistent with thgeew plant organization.

e. The fire protection and prevention program was formerly under the Operations Supervisor. The change assigns responsibility for this program to the assistant plant superintendent for health and safety services.

None of the organizational changes outlined above will have an adverse effect on the nuclear or environmental safety of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant. We conclude the proposed changes are acceptable.

3.0 Environmental Considerations

We have determined that these amendments do not-authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that these amendments involve an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact, and pursuant to 10 CFR Section 51.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement, or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.

4.0 Conclusion

We have concluded based on the considerations discussed above that: (1) because the amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and do not

N.

involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the amendments do not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
