7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET N0. 50-409 DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No.16 to Provisional Operating License No. OPR-45, issued to Dairyland Power Cooperative (the licensee), which revised the Technical Specifications for operation of the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) located in Vernon County, Wisconsin. The amendment is effective as of its date of issuance.
The amendment modifies the Technical Specifications for operation of the LACBWR in fuel Cycle 6 by (1) adding core power distribution limits for Allis-Chalmers Type I fuel assemblies, and (2) changing the limits for off-gas emission rates to account for cleanup of tramp activity during operation. Moreover, the amendment includes additional Technical Specifica-tions to require extended restrictions on reactor vessel water level and operability of forced circulation loops. These additional specifications are based on the Commission's review of the May 2, 1979 transient event at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Docket No. 50-219).
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Comission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Comission's rules and regulations 2143 25.0 7906290F0I i
7590-01 in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
Prior public notice of this amendment was not required since the amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
