UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY CCMMISSION PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY-DOCKET NO. 50-133 NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACI!.ITY LICENSE'
~.
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 23 to Facility License No. DPR-7 to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the licensee) for the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit No. 3. This amendment revises License No. DPR-7 to: (1) delete certain license conditions
- related to seismic modifications required before the NRC would authorize a return to power operation; (2) revise the Technical Specifications to reflect the possess-but-not-operate status; (3) approve the decomissioning of Humboldt Bay Unit 3 in accordance with the licensee's Decomissioning Plan and (4) extend License No. DPR-7 for 15 additional years to November 9, 2015 to be consistent with the Decomissioning Plan. Also, Section D of License No.
DPR-7 is deleted as it refers to 10 CFR Part 50.60 with respect allocation of fuel by the AEC to a licensee. That function by the AEC/NRC is no longer a part of the regulations and Section D is moot.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Comission's rules and regulations. The Comission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Comission's roles and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
