SUBJECT:
THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT 2 - ISSUANCE OF EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN SECURITY REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 73.55 (TAC NO. J00391)
Dear Mr. Lash:
The Commission has granted GPU Nuclear, the licensee for Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2, the enclosed exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 73.55. This action is in response to your request dated November 22, 2010 (ML110730375), and supplemented by e-mail dated February 8, 2013 (ML13044A053).
The Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 73.5, an exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest because the licensee no longer possesses spent fuel containing special nuclear material that needs to be protected in accordance with the security requirements for which an exemption is granted. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants GPU Nuclear an exemption from the target sets requirements in 10 CFR 73.55(b)(4), 10 CFR 73.55(f)(1),
10 CFR 73.55(f)(3), and 10 CFR 73.55(f)(4); the bullet resisting physical barriers requirements in 10 CFR 73.55(e)(5); the vital areas requirements in 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9)(v), for the reactor control room, (e)(9)(v)(A), and the spent fuel pool, (e)(9)(v)(B); the waterways requirements at 10 CFR 73.55(e)(10)(ii)(A); the requirements for communication in 10 CFR 73.55 (j)(4)(ii), and (n)(5); and the safeguards contingency plan requirement in 10 CFR 73.55(c)(5).
Other requirements from which you requested exemptions were determined to either not be applicable to your facility or are being met by your current program, therefore, an exemption from 10 CFR 73.55(a)(1), 73.55(b)(8), 73.55(b)(9)(ii)(C), 73.55(c)(1)(i), 73.55(c)(6), 10 CFR 73.55(f)(2), and 73.55(m)(2) was denied.
This licensing action meets the categorical exclusion provision in 10 CFR Part 51.22(c)(25), as this action is an exemption from the requirements of the Commissions regulations and (i) there is no significant hazards consideration; (ii) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite; (iii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; (iv) there is no significant construction impact; (v) there is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents; and (vi) the requirements from which an exemption is sought involve safeguard plans. Therefore, the action does not require either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement.
