SUBJECT:
ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NO.15 TO AMENDED FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR-4-GPU NUCLEAR, INC. AND SAXTON NUCLEAR EXPERIMENTAL CORPORATION (TAC NOS. M97155 AND M97388)
Dear Mr. Kuehn:
The Commission has issued enclosed Amendment No.15 to Amended Facility License No. DPR-4 for the GPU Nuclear, Inc. and Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation (SNEC)
SNEC Facility (SNEF). The amendment consists of changes to the amended facility license and Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your submittal of November 25,1996, as supplemented on May 30, June 4 and 16, August 21, and September 16,1997, February 3 and 9,1998, and March 31,1998. In our evaluation of your request, the NRC staff also refer ed to the SNEF Decommissioning Environmental Report submitted on April 17,1996; your response to NRC questions about the environmental report, dated July 18,1996,and l
March 3 and 31,1998; and the SNEC Facility Updated Safety Analysis Report, Revision 0, submitted on October 25,1996; Revision 1, submitted on August 21,1997;and Revision 2, submitted on February 3,1998. As part of our review of your amendment request, we also reviewed the SNEC Facility Decommissioning Quality Assurance Plan, submitted by letter dated November 8,1996, as supplemented on May 30,1997, and February 3 and 9,1998.
l The amendment allows decommissioning of the SNEF. The changes to the license and TSs (1) accommodate decommissioning activities at the SNEF, (2) establish specific TS controls I
over decommissioning activities, (3) establish limiting conditions for performing decommissioning activities, (4) extend exclusion area controls to include the SNEF Decommissioning Support Facility, (5) establish requirements for a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and an OffSite Dose Calculation Manual, and (6) establish requirements for technical and independent safety reviews, in addition, the amendment authorizes other administrative and editorial changes to the TSs associated with the changes described above.
l l
As part of this review, the staff reviewed your SNEC Facility Decommissioning Quality Assurance Plan, the SNEC Facility Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and the SNEC Facility Process Control Program. As discussed in the safety evaluation report, we find these documents acceptable for the conduct of your proposed decommissioning activities.
