1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated January 31, 2002, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc. (CCNPP, Inc., or the licensee) submitted an application to amend the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant operating licenses (OLs). Specifically, the amendment would revise Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TSs) and Appendix B, Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) of the OLs to make a number of corrections.
2.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The licensee proposed the following corrections to the TSs and EPP. The description of these corrections and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs evaluation follows.
2.1 TSs Section 5.6.5.b, Item 16 This section lists NRC-approved documents for methodologies to calculate core operating limits. Item 16 identifies the latest version of Topical Report CENPD-382-P-A, Methodology for Core Designs Containing Erbium Burnable Absorbers. By Amendment Nos. 186/163 (March 17, 1994), the title of this topical report was erroneous printed with an extra term C-E at its beginning.
The licensee proposed to correct this error by deleting C-E from the title of this topical report.
This correction is purely administrative, and does not change any aspect of the NRC-approved methodology set forth in the subject topical report. Therefore, this change is acceptable.
2.2 Section 5.6.5.b, Item 19 Item 19 identifies Topical Report CEN-161-(B)-P, Supplement 1-P, Improvements to Fuel Evaluation Model. By Amendment Nos. 186/163 (March 17, 1994), this topical report was inadvertently and incorrectly dated as April 1989. The correct date is April 1986.
The licensee proposed to correct this error by changing the date to April 1986. This correction is purely administrative, and does not change any aspect of the NRC-approved methodology set forth in the subject topical report. Therefore, this change is acceptable.
2.3 Appendix B, EPP Page 2-1 of the EPP states that the effective National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is issued by the State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. This agency no longer exists; the Maryland Department of the Environment is the state agency currently responsible for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
The licensee proposed to correct this error caused by name change of a state agency. This correction has no impact on any matter governed by the NPDES Permit, and is purely administrative. Therefore, this change is acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Maryland State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and 51.35, an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact was published in the Federal Register on August 5, 2002 (67 FR 50738).
Accordingly, based on the Environmental Assessment, the Commission has determined that issuance of these amendments will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
5.0 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 amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
