UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMISSION I
l HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY CITY PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD OF SAN ANTONIO ENTRALPOWERANDLIGHTCOMPANY CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS i
DOCKET NOS. 50-498 AND 50-499 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION UF ISSl1ANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO l
FACHITY OPERATING LICENSES, PROPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HA7AR05 I
CONSIDERATIONDETERMINATION,ANDOPPORTUNITQORHEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to facility Operating License Nos. NPF-76 and NPF 80 issued to Houston Lighting & Power Company, et, al., (the licensee) for operation of the South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, located in Matagorda County, Texas.
The proposed amendments would replace Technical Specification 3/4.6.2.2,
" Spray Additive System" with a new specification entitled " Recirculation-Fluid pH Control System" to be consistent with a planned plant modification l
5 which would eliminate the containment spray additive system.
i Before issuance of the proposed license amendments, the Commission will have made findings requireu sy the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.
.The Commission has made a proposed determination that the amendment request involves no~significant hazards consideration.
Under the Commission's f
. regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation of the facility 'n
[
accordance with-the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant-l
.t increase.in.the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated;_
[
P
-......----.--_--.-~.,,_--a--.-..-
g.
or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:
(1) The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated.
The proposed change to a Recirculation Fluid pH Control System does not increase the probability of accidents previously evaluated because the new system cannot initiate an accident because passive components would be used in place of active components and the system mitigates the consequences of an accident.
The potential for failure of active components would be decreased by this proposal.
Therefore, the proposeri change does not increase the probability of any accident previously evaluated.
The consequences of previously evaluated accidents do not significantly increase since doses remain within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 100 and SRP (Standard Review Plan) limits.
(2) The proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or dif ferent kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
No new modes of operation are proposed arid the proposed Recirculation Fluid pH Control System will provide the same function as the current spray sdditive system. to mitigate the effects of a LOCA. The proposed system would not be used during normal plant operations.
(3) The proposed changes do net involve significant reductions in the margin of safety.
3 The LOCA doses do not significantly increase and remain within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 100 and the SRP.
Additionally, hydrogen generation is not increased and equipment qualification will remain within the acceptance criteria.
The NRC staff has reviewed the lict'.see's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied.
Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
The Commission is seeking public coments on this proposed determination.
Any comments received within thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in m.' ting any final determination.
The Comission will not normally make a final determination unless it receives a request for a hearing.
Written coments may be submitted by mail to the Regulatory Publications Branch, Division of Freedom of Information and Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Re nulatory Comission, Washington, DC 20555, and should site the publication date and page number of this FEDERAL REGISTER notice.
Written coments may also be delivered to Room P-223, Phillips Building, 7920 Norf olk Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland, f rom 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Copies of written comments received may be examined at the lRC Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW.. Washington, DC 20555.
The filing of requests for hearing and petitions for leave to intervene is discussed below.
By October 23, 1991, the licensee may file a request for a. hearing with respect to issuance of the amendment to the subject facility operating license and any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who wishes to participate as al party in the proceeding must file a written request for a hearing and a petition for leave to intervene.
Requests for a l
)
4 hearing and a petition for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the Connission's " Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings" in 10 CFR Part 2.
Interested persons should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.714 which is available at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555 anJ at the local public document room located at Wharton County Junior College, J. H. Hodges Learning Center, 911 Boling Highway, Wharton, Texas 77488.
If a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene is filed by the above date, the Commission or an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, designated by the do<.wission or by the Chairman of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, will rule on the request and/or petition; and the Secretary or the designated Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of hearing or an appropriate order.
As required by 10 CFR 2.714, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeoing, and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding.
The petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following factors:
(1) the nature of the petitioner's :ight under the Act to be made party to the proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of say order which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest.
The petition should also identify the specific aspect (s) of the subject matter of the proceeding as to which petitioner wishes to intervene.
Any person who has filed a petition for leave to intervene or who has been admitted as a party may amend the petition without requesting leave of the Board up to fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding,
P but such an amended petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described adove.
Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, a petitioner shall file a supplement to the petition to intervene which must include a list of the contentions which are sought to be litigated in the matter.
Each contention must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted.
In addition, the petitioner shall provide a brief explanation of the bases of the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion which support the contention and on which the petitioner intends to rely in proving the contention at the hearing.
The petitioner must also provide references to those specific sources and documents of which the petitioner is aware and on which the petitioner intends to rely to establish those facts or expert opinion.
Petitioner must provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact.
Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the amendment I
under consideration.
The contention must be one which, if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief.
A petitioner who fails to file such a suppisment which satisfies these requirements with respect to at least one contention will nct be permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any limitation' via the order granting leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including the opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses, i
If a hearing is requested, the Commission will make a final determination r
on the issue of no significant hazards consideration.
The final determination will serve to decide when the hearing is held.
c
If the final determination is that the amendment request involves no significan he ards consideration, the Commission may issue the amendment and make it immtdsscely effective, notwithstand'ng the request for a hearing, Any hearing held would take place after issuance of the amendment.
If the final determination is that the amendment request involves a significant hazards consideration, any hearing held would take place before the
=
issuance of any amendment.
Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of the 30-day notice period.
However, should circumstances change during the notice period sucl. that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example, in derating or shutdown of the facility, the Comu.ission may issue the license amendment before the expiration of the 30-day notice period, provided that its final determination is that the anendment involves no significant hazards consideration.
The final determination will consider all public and State comments received.
Should the Commission take this action, it will publish in the FEDERAL REGISTER a notice of issuance and provide for opportunity for a hearing after issuance.
The Commission expects that the need to take this action will occur very infrequently.
A request for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention:
Docketing and Services Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, by the above date.
Where petitions are filed during the last ten (10) days of the notice period, it is requested that the petitioner promptly so inform the Commission by a toll-free telephone call to Western Union at 1-(800) 325-6000 (in Missouri 1-(800) 342-6700).
The Western
Union operator should be given Datagram Identification Number 3737 and the j
following message addressed to Suzanne C. Black:
petitioner's name and telephone number, date petition was mailed, plant name, and publication date and page number of this FEDERAL REGISTER notice.
A copy of the petition should also be sent to the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and to Jack R. Newman, Esq.,
Newman & Holtzinger, P.C., 1615 L Street, NW., Warhington, DC 20036, attorney for the licensee.
Nontimely filings of petitions for leave to intervene, amended petitions, supplemental petitions andor requests for hearing will r.ot be entertained absent a determination by tre Commission, the presiding officer or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that the petition and/or request should be granted based upon a balancing of the factors speciffed in 10 CFR 2.714(a)(1)(i)-(v) and 2.714(d).
