The newrequirements establish alternate steamgenerator tube plugging criteria (APC) atthe tube support plate intersections.These revised criteria, based on NRCGeneric Letter 95–05, were incorporatedinto the TS by previous amendments tothe operating licenses but only forOperating Cycle 8. The proposedamendments would remove thereference to Cycle 8, thereby making therequirements applicable to all futureoperating cycles.Before issuance of the proposedlicense amendment, the Commissionwill have made findings required by theAtomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended(the Act) and the Commission’sregulations.The Commission has made aproposed determination that theamendment request involves nosignificant hazards consideration. Underthe Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR50.92, this means that operation of thefacility in accordance with the proposedamendment would not (1) involve asignificant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previouslyevaluated; or (2) create the possibility ofa new or different kind of accident fromany accident previously evaluated; or(3) involve a significant reduction in amargin of safety. As required by 10 CFR50.91(a), the licensee has provided itsanalysis of the issue of no significanthazards consideration, which ispresented below:TVA has evaluated the proposed technicalspecification (TS) change and has determinedthat it does not represent a significanthazards consideration based on criteriaestablished in 10 CFR 50.92(c). Operation ofSequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) in accordancewith the proposed amendment will not:1. Involve a significant increase in theprobability or consequences of an accidentpreviously evaluated.The proposed TS change revises the SQNsteam generator (S/G) Specification 3/4.4.5 toremove footnotes that limit the application ofthe alternate plugging criteria (APC) to Cycle8 operation only. In addition, SQN TS3.4.6.2, ‘‘Operational Leakage,’’ contains asimilar footnote that limits application of S/G APC to Cycle 8 operation only. Theremoval of these footnotes allows TVA toapply APC to SQN S/Gs beyond Cycle 8operation. TVA’s proposed change is basedon resolution of the industry issuesconcerning [eddy current test] probe wearand probe variability. APC was applied to theSQN S/Gs during the Cycle 7 refuelingoutages for Units 1 and 2.The proposed changes provide TSrequirements that are consistent with theguidance of NRC GL [Generic Letter] 95–05.This change does not involve a physicalmodification to the plant or affect anysetpoints. Accordingly, the proposed changesdo not involve an increase in the probabilityor consequences of an accident previouslyevaluated.2. Create the possibility of a new ordifferent kind of accident from anypreviously analyzed.The proposed changes provide TSrequirements for SQN S/Gs that areconsistent with the guidance provided in GL95–05. No new event initiator has beencreated, nor has any hardware been changed.This change does not involve a physicalchange to SQN S/Gs or any other system.Therefore, the proposed change will notcreate the possibility of a new or differentkind of accident from any previouslyanalyzed.3. Involve a significant reduction in amargin of safety.TVA’s proposed change allows applicationof APC for SQN S/Gs to extend beyond Cycle8 of operation. This change continues toprovide requirements that maintainstructural integrity of SQN S/G tubes duringnormal operating, transient, and postulatedaccident conditions. This change does notinvolve a setpoint change or physicalmodification to the plant. Accordingly, themargin of safety has not been reduced.The NRC staff has reviewed thelicensee’s analysis and, based on thisreview, it appears that the threestandards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) aresatisfied. Therefore, the NRC staffproposes to determine that theamendment request involves nosignificant hazards consideration.The Commission is seeking publiccomments on this proposeddetermination. Any comments receivedwithin 30 days after the date ofpublication of this notice will beconsidered in making any finaldetermination.Normally, the Commission will notissue the amendment until theexpiration of the 30-day notice period.However, should circumstances changeduring the notice period such thatfailure to act in a timely way wouldresult, for example, in derating orshutdown of the facility, theCommission may issue the licenseamendment before the expiration of the30-day notice period, provided that itsfinal determination is that theamendment involves no significanthazards consideration. The finaldetermination will consider all publicand State comments received. Shouldthe Commission take this action, it willpublish in the Federal Register a noticeof issuance and provide for opportunityfor a hearing after issuance. TheCommission expects that the need totake this action will occur veryinfrequently.Written comments may be submittedby mail to the Chief, Rules Review andDirectives Branch, Division of Freedomof Information and Publications
