The proposed amendment would revise the operating license to reflect Union Electric Company (UEC) as a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Ameren Corporation as of the closing of the merger between UEC and CIPSCO Incorporated.
An order under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the indirect transfer of the license as effected by the merger was issued on October 16, 1997.
The November 15, 1996, supplemental submittal provided only clarifying information and did not clange the original no significant hazards considerationdeterminationpublishedinthe[ederalReaisteronMay 22, 1996 (61 FR 25713).
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed license amendment would add a footnote to paragraph 1.A of the operating license to reflect UEC as a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Ameren Corporation as of the closing of the merger between UEC and CIPSCO Incorporated. The staff reviewed the indirect license transfer that would result from the merger, and by Order dated October 16, 1997, approved the transfer of control of the license under 10 CFR 50.80. The Staff's safety evaluation dated October 16, 1997, contains the details of the staff's review of the transfer.
The amendment requested which will reflect the transfer does not involve any change to the design or operation of the facility, nor to the existing technical specifications. Since all substantive issues relating to the indirect license transfer were addressed in connection with the Order issued under 10 CFR 50.80, the 6inendment is administrative in nature.
By letter dated January 9, 1998. UE informed the NRC that the merger was completed on December 31, 1997.
In consideration of the foregoing, the staff finds the amendment acceptable.
