AEC CONSIDERS HIGHER POWER FOR SAXTON REACTOR i
1 l
The Atomic Energy Commission is considering issuance of an amendment to the license held by Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation to authorite a temporary increase j
of power for the Saxton lluelear Experimental Reactor at Saxton, Pennsylvania, aoout 20 miles southeast of Altoona.
The pressurized water reactor has been operating at l
a power level of 23 5 megawatts thermal using its second l
fuel core.
The company has requested authorization to increase the maximum power level to 35 megawatto during the i
l remainder of the lifetime of Core II, approximately ten L
weeks.
The objective of the higher pcwer operation is to gain information about pressurized water reactor fuci under operating conditions planned for future reactors.
i The AEC Regulatory Staff and the Commission's Advisory l.
Committee on Reactor Safeguards have completed their reviews and htve recommended issuance of the license amendment.
l Copies of the safety evaluation by the Regulatory Staff and the report by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards are available for inspection'at the Commission's Public-Document Room,1717 H Street NW, Washington, D.
C., and may be obtained by. writing to the Director, Division of Reactor Licensing, Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D. C. 20545.
Petitions to intervene or requests for public hearing may be submitted to the Secretary, Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, L. C. 20545, within 30 days after publication of notice in thi Federal Register on January 6,1968.
