Docket No. 50-309 Mr. Robert H. Groce Licensing Engineer Yankee Atomic Electric Company 20 Turnpike Road Westboro, Massachusetts 01581
Dear Mr. Groce:
The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 44 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-36 for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station, in response to your submittal of January 29, 1979.
The amendment incorporates The Maine Yankee Security Plan into License No. DPR-36 effective February 23, 1979.
We have completed our review and evaluation of your physical sec-urity plan and have concluded that the physical security plan for your facility, when fully implemented, will provide the protection needed to meet the general performance requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(a) and the objectives of the specific requirements of 10 CFR 73.55, paragraphs (b) through (h), without impairing your ability to safely operate your facility.
We therefore further conclude that the plan is acceptable.
The enclosed Security Plan Evaluation Report (SPER) represents our evaluation and acceptance of your physical security plan.
The SPER is being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790(d).
When all aspects of your approved plan have been implemented, on or before February 23, 1979, we request that you notify both the Office of Inspection and Enforcement and the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regu-lation, at which time a compliance inspection will be scheduled by the Office of Inspection and Enforcement.
Changes which would not decrease the effectiveness of your approved security plan may be made without approval by the Comission pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p).
A report containing a description of each change shall be furnished to the Director, Office of Nuclear 7903280C)78
Yankee Atomic Electric Company Reactor Regulation, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Washington, D. C. 20555, with a copy to the appropriate NRC Regional Office within two months after the change is made. Records of changes made without Comission approval shall be maintained for a period of two years from the date of the change.
We have evaluated the potential for environmental impact of plant operation in accordance with the enclosed amendment. We have determined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level, and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR S 51.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
This amendment does not involve significant new safety information of a type not considered by a previous Commission safety review of the facility.
It does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and therefore does not involve a significant hazards consideration. We have also concluded that there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by this action.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
Sincerely, i
