7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-263
~
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT-AND FINDING 0F NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of exemption from certain requirements of Section III.G of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 to Northern States Power Company (the licensee) for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, located at the licensee's site in Wright County, Minnesota.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action:
The proposed action would grant exemption from certain requirements of 4
Section III.G of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 which relates to fire protection features for ensuring that systems and associated circuits used to achieve and maintain safe shutdown are free of fire damage. The exemption is technical since the licensee must demonstrate that fire protection confiourations meet the specific requirements of Section III.G or that alternate fire protection configurations can be,iustified by an acceptable fire hazard analysis.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The prooosed exemption is needed because the features described in the licensee's request regarding the existing and proposed fire protection at the plant would result in a net benefit to the public health and safety that compensates for any decrease in safety that may result from the granting of this exemption request.

7540-01 3.,
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The proposed exemption will provide a degree of fire protection such that there is no increase in the risk of fires at Monticello. Consequently, the probability of fires has not been increased and the post-fire radiological releases will not be greater than previously determined nor does the proposed exemption otherwise affect radiological plant effluents. Therefore, the Commis-sion concludes that there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with th'e proposed exemption.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed exemption involves features located entirely within the restricted areas as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has ac ?ther environmental impact. Therefore, the Commission concludes that there are no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed exemption.
The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption.
Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, we: conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the licensee's letters dated August 5, 1983 and February 21, 1986.
These letters are avail-able for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C., and at the Environmental Conservation Library, Minneapolis Public Library, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.
