7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION JERSEY CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-219 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 issued to GPU Nuclear Corporation, et al.
(the licensee), for operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, located in Ocean County, New Jersey.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of the Proposed Action:
The proposed amendment would revise Technical Specification 5.2.A to change the current containment drywell pressure of 62 psig to the new design pressure of 44 psig and the current containment drywell temperatures of 175 'F to the new design temperature of 292 *F.
Related changes to Technical Specification Bases are also proposed.
Unrelated editorial changes to the bases of Technical Specification 3.4 and 3.5 are also proposed.
The proposed amendment is in accordance with GPU Nuclear Corporation's application dated July 22, 1991, as supplemented February 14, 1992, August 19, 1992, and July 12, 1993.
Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed changes to the Facility Operating License are needed because it is a part of GPU Nuclear Corporation's comprehensive program to address the corrosion of the Oyster Creek drywell.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the licensee's proposal to change the current containment drywell pressure of 62 psig to the new design pressure of 44 psig and the current containment drywell temperatures of 175 *F to the new design temperature of 292 'F. The licensee also proposes to change the related Technical Specification Bases.
Based on its review of the licensee's analyses and the licensee's statement that the analyses have been performed in accordance with the Standard Review Plan, the staff finds that the licensee's proposed change to reduce the current containment drywell pressure of 62 psig to the new design pressure of 44 psig and the current containment drywell temperatures of 175 °F to the new design temperature of 292 °F is acceptable.
