@TICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering-issuance of amendments to facility Operating License Nos. DPR-71 and DPR-62, issued to Carolina Power & Light Company (CPL, the licensee), for operation of-the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
The amendments would allow a one-time revision to the requirements of-Technical Specification 3.3.3, EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEM ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION, when in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 4 (COLD SHUTDOWN) to allow the minimum number of operable channels for one reactor steam dome pressure - low instrumentation trip system to be temporarily reduced from two (2) channels to one (1) channel.
The proposed amendments would allow, on three (3) separate occasions, one (1) reactor steam dome pressure - low (injection permissive) channel to be placed in the inoperable status for up to seven (7) days without invoking the ACTION statement in order to support modifications to upgrade the seismic qualifications of instrument racks H21-P009 (Unit 2 only) and H21-P010 (Unit 1 and Unit ?).
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendments, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.
