lk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD In the Matter of S

S HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER S

COMPANY S

Docket No. 50-466 5

(Allens Creek Nuclear S

Generating Station, Unit 5

No. 1) 5 APPLICANT'S MOTION FOR

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION ON INTERVENOR DOHERTY'S CONTENTION NO. 38B 6

Applicant moves the Board under 10 CFR S 2.749 to grant summary disposition with respect to Intervenor Doherty's l

Contention No. 38B relating to cold shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

As shown in the accompanying statement of material facts as to which there is no genuine issue to be heard, and affidavit of Joseph Fray, there is no issue to try in this proceeding and Applicant is entitled under S 2.749 to have the contention summarily dismissed as a matter of law.

The Contention Doherty's Contention No. 388 states:

Contrary to NUREG-0578, the reactor cannot be brought to cold shutdown in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

181 s008190 2,12

Argument As demonstrated by the Fray affidavit, the AC:iGS s

design is capable of bringing the reactor to cold shutdown (below 212*? at atmospheric pressure) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

The maximum decay heat load after reactor shutdown is calculated using the formula required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix F..

Based upon this calculated heat load, the Fray affidavit shows that by dumping steam from the reactor vessel to the i

main condenser and by operation of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system, the reactor can be brought to cold shutdown within a period of seven hours.

Since ACNGS will be designed to bring the reactor to cold shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, there is no genuine issue of fact to be heard, and Applicant is entitled to have Doherty Contention No. 38B summarily dismissed as a matter of law. 2d3
