7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR OPERATING CORPORATION DOCKET NO. 50-482 NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE i
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 69 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-42, issued to Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee), which revised the License and Technical Specifications for operation of the Wolf Creek Generating Station located in Coffey County, Kansas.
The amendment revises the License and the Technical Specifications to allow an increase in the maximum reactor core power level (rated thermal power) from the present value of 3411 megawatts thermal (MWt) to a revised limit of 3565 MWt. The increase in allowed core power combined with the energy added by the reactor coolant pumps would result in the proposed changes allowing Wolf Creek to operate at a nuclear steam supply system power of 3579 MWt.
In addition to the increased core power level, changes were made in the allowable operating temperatures of the reactor coolant system. The reductions in reactor coolant hot-leg temperatures were made in order to reduce the potential for stress corrosion cracking of steam generator tubes.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Comission's rules and regulations. The Comission has made appropriate 9311180143 931110 PDR ADOCK 05000482 P
e b
findings as required by the Act and the Comission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity for P
Hearing in connection with this action was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on June 9, 1993 (58 FR 32392). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
The Comission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement.
Based upon the environmental assessment, the Comission has concluded that the issuance of this amendment will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
The environmental assessment and finding of no t
significant impact was publianed in the FEDERAL REGISTER on October 25, 1993 (58 FR 55086).
