UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-171 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMC_NDMENT TO POSSESSION-0NLY LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIOR HEARING PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1 The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Possession-Only License No. DPR-12 issued to Philadelphia Electric Company (the licensee) for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit No.1 (the facility) located in York County, Pennsylvania. The amendment is in response to the licensee's application dated November 24, 1975, as revised March 4, 1987. The amendment would accomplish the following:
(1) extend the expiration date of license No. DPR-12 to December 24,2015;(2) delete authority to possess special nuclear and source material; (3) delete the license reference to a fission product trapping system and neutron sources; and (4) revise the Technical Specifications in response to the licensee's application. The facility is permanently shut down, there is no fuel on-site and the licensee intends to maintain the facility in a shutdown, safe storage mode until after Units 2 and 3 are also shut down. At that time all residual radioactivity would be removed and the license terminated.
By Amendment No. 6, dated July 14, 1975, the Commission revised License No.
DPR-12 to poss*ss-but-not-operate status.
In the related Safety Evaluation and Environmental Assessment the Commission found the decommissioning plan involving long term on-site storage of residual activity was acceptable.
