SUBJECT:
YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION - ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NO. 158 RE: LICENSE TERMINATION PLAN (TAC NO. L52095)
Dear Mr. Rollins:
The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 158 to License No. DPR-3 for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS). This amendment is in response to your application dated November 24, 2003, and supplemented by letters dated December 10, 2003, December 16, 2003, January 19, 2004, January 21, 2004, February 10, 2004, March 4, 2004, April 27, 2004, August 3, 2004, September 2, 2004, September 2, 2004, September 30, 2004, November 19, 2004, December 10, 2004, and April 7, 2005.
The amendment revises the Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station License to add License Condition 2.C.(11) to the YNPS license. This new license condition incorporates the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved, License Termination Plan, Rev. 1 (LTP), and associated addendum, into the YNPS license and allows the licensee to make certain changes to the approved LTP without prior NRC review and approval.
A copy of our related Safety Evaluation is enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's next biweekly Federal Register notice.
Sincerely,
/RA/

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-29 YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION AMENDMENT TO POSSESSION ONLY LICENSE Amendment No. 158 License No. DPR-3
- 1. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission or the NRC) has found that:
A. The application for amendment filed by Yankee Atomic Electric Company (the licensee) dated November 24, 2003, and supplemented by letters dated December 10, 2003, December 16, 2003, January 19, 2004, January 21, 2004, February 10, 2004, March 4, 2004, April 27, 2004, August 3, 2004, September 2, 2004, September 2, 2004, September 30, 2004, November 19, 2004, December 10, 2004, and April 7, 2005, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B. The facility will be maintained in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission; C. There is reasonable assurance (i) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission; D. The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E. The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.
- 2. Accordingly, the license is amended by the addition of a new License Condition 2.C.(11) which will read as follows:
- 2. C. (11) License Termination Plan (LTP)
The License Termination Plan dated November 19, 2004, as supplemented April 7, 2005, is approved by NRC License Amendment No. 158.
In addition to those criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(6), a change to the LTP requires NRC approval prior to being implemented if the change:
(a)
Increase-in the probability of making a Type I decision error above the level stated in the LTP; (b)
Increase the radionuclide-specific derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLs) and related minimum detectable concentrations; (c)
Increase the radioactivity level, relative to the applicable DCGL, at which investigation occurs; (d)
Change the statistical test applied to one other than the Sign Test or Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test.
(e)
Prior to license termination, if the concentrations of site-generated radionuclides other than tritium are reported in the groundwater in excess of the individual concentrations listed below, or if a sum of the fractions formed by dividing the reported concentrations by these values is greater than 2.0, the licensee shall evaluate the need for site-specific groundwater DCGLs for these radionuclides.
New groundwater DCGLs will require that a license amendment request be submitted to NRC for approval.
Individual Individual Radionuclide Concentration Radionuclide Concentration Limit, pCi/L Limit, pCi/L Ag-108m 50 Fe-55 25 Am-241 0.5 Nb-94 50 C-14 200 Ni-63 15 Cm-243/244 0.50 Pu-238 0.50 Co-60 25 Pu-239/240 0.50 Cs-134 14 U-241 15 Cs-137 15 Sb-125 50 Eu-152 50 Sr-90 3
Eu-154 50 Tc-99 15 Eu-155 50 Re-classification of survey areas from a less to a more restrictive classification (e.g.,
from a Class 3 to a Class 2 area) may be done without prior NRC notification; however, re-classification to a less restrictive classification (e.g., Class 1 to a Class 2 area) will require NRC notification at least 14 days prior to implementation.
3.
This license amendment is effective as of the date of issuance and shall be implemented within 30 days from the date of issuance.
