k 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION IES UTILITIES INC.
DOCKET N0. 50-331 NOTICE OF PARTIAL DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has partially denied a request by IES Utilities Inc. (licensee), for an amendment.to Facility Operating License No. DRP-49 issued to the licensee for operation of the Duane Arnold Energy Center, located in Palo, Iowa.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on September 15, 1993 (58 FR 48384).
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) by changing the reporting frequency of the Radioactive Material Release Report and the 10 CFR 50.59 reporting of facility changes, tests and experiments.
This is to reflect the new requirements of 10 CFR Part 50. The Offsite Dose Assessment Manual (ODAM) will remain part of the Radioactive Material Release Report and will be submitted annually.
In lieu of the current annual reporting requirement, the licensee's request would extend the reporting to six months after a refueling outage.
In contrast, the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG 1433) places the safety and relief valve challenge information in the Monthly Operating Report.
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request concerning the reporting of safety and relief valve challenges cannot be granted.
The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the proposed change by a letter dated March 22, 1994.
