4 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMISSION GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION DOCKET NO. 50-219 NOTICE OF DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied a request by GPU Nuclear Corporation, (licensee) for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 issued to the licensee for operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, located in Forked River, New Jersey.
1 Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on December 7, 1995, (60 FR 62895).
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to modify the License Condition 2.C(5) to utilize a visual inspection technique in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code,Section XI, and to eliminate the requirements to docket inspection results and the need to obtain NRC restart authorization for each refueling outage.
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be granted and has advised the licensee that the proposed amendment is denied because the licensee has not provided adequate justification to resolve the staff's concern over the long-term behavior of the core spray sparger system.
The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the proposed change by a letter dated June 7, 1996.
By July 15, 1996, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to the denial described above. Any person whose inte' rest may be af.fected by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene.
