7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DUKE POWER COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-?69, 50-?70, AND 50-287 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 issued to Duke Power Company (the licensee), for operation of the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, located in Oconee County, South Carolina.
Changes to Technical Specifications (TSs) proposed within this amendment request include: administrative chances to the Table of Contents, Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) of the control room pressurization and filtering system and administrative changes to Specification 3.15, and additional testing requirements for the control room pressurization and filtering system and clarifications to Specification 4.12. The proposed amendments are in response to the NRC's request for TSs on control room habitability. In NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," one of the issues, III.D.3.4, dealt with control room habitability requirements. One of the items that needed to be addressed was revisions to the Technical Specifications.
Oconee 1 and 2 have a shared control room while Oconee 3 has a separate control room. The control rooms are located in the Auxiliary Building. The Control Room Area Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC) are desianed to maintain the environment in the Control Room, Control Room Zone, Cable Room, and Electrical Equipment Rooms within acceptable limits for the operation of 8804210352 880415 PDR ADOCK 05000269i I

-2 unit controls as necessary for eouipment and operating personnel. The Control Room Area Ventilation and Air Conditioning System consists of HVAC units which are separated and isolated from the HVAC systems of other adJacent areas. Each control room is primarily served by two large air handling units (AHU). The AH[Js are 100 percent capacity and only one AHU is required to operate at a time. An AHU consists of a roughing filter, chilled water coils, and a centrifugal fan. As opposed to the Control Room Area Ventilation and Air Conditioning System, the control room pressurization and filtering system is not normally operated and would only be activated by manual operator action in the event of a radioactive or toxic gas release in the Turbine Building or Auxiliary Building only.
The licensee states that the control room pressurization and filtering system has been upgraded to meet the intent of NUREG-0737, Item III.D.3.4 (Control Room Habitability) by providing additional protection for the control room operators from the effects of accidental release of radioactive effluents and toxic gases in the Turbine Building and Auxiliary Building only. These upgrades will serve to help maintain operator doses ALARA. The main objective of the system modifications has been to pressurize the control rooms to a slightly positive differential pressure as compared to areas surrounding the control room envelope.
By 'r 76 19 S7, the licensees may file a request for a hearing with respect to issuance of the amendments to the subject facility operating licenses and any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who wishes to participate as a party in the proceeding must file a written request for hearing and a petition for leave to intervene. Requests for a hearing and petitions for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the
7590-01
-3 Commission's "Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings" in 10 CFR Part 2. If a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene is filed by the above date, the Commission or an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, designated by the Commission or by the Chairman of the Atomic Safety and Licensina Board Panel, will rule on the request and/or petition, and the Secretary or the designated Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of hearing or an appropriate order.
As required by 10 CFR § 2.714, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding. The petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following factors: (1) the nature of the petitioner's right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of any order which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest. The petition should also identify the specific aspect(s) of the subject matter of the proceeding as to which petitioner wishes to intervene. Any person who has filed a petition for leave to intervene or who has been admitted as a party may amend the petition without requesting leave of the Board up to fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, but such an amended petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described above.
Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, a petitioner shall file a supplement to the netition to intervene which must include a list of the contentions which are sought to be litigated in the matter, and the bases for each contention set

-4 forth with reasonable specificity. Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the amendments under consideration. A petitioner who fails to file such a supplement which satisfies these requirements with respect to at least one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any limitatiors in the order grantina leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including the opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
A request for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene shall be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., by the above date. Where petitions are filed during the last ten (10) days of the notice period, it is required that the petitioner or representative for the petitioner promptly so inform the Commission by a toll-free telephone call to Western Unit at 1-800-325-6000 (in Missouri 1-800-342-6700). The Western Union operator should be given Datagra Identification Number 3737 and the following message addressed to Darl Hood, Acting Director, project Directorate II-3; (petitioner's name and telephone number); (date Petition was mailed); (plant name); and (publication date and page number of this FEDERAL REGISTER notice). A copy of the petition should also be sent to the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, and to J. Michael McGarry, III, Bishop, Liberman, CookPurcell and Reynolds, 1200 17th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C.
