UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DUKE POWER COMPANY DOCKET N05. 50-369 AND 50-370 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ' ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND j
OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating Licenses NPF-9 and NPF-17, issued to Duke Power Company (the licensee), for operation of the McGuire Nucleur Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
A planned modification to the McGuire Nuclear Station will add new areas to the station for use in holding, processing and reduction of liquid and solid radwaste materials. As a result of the modification, a new Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system will be added to provide ventilation services for the new area and sona areas previously serviced by the Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust (ABFVE) system, which will require a change to existing ABFVE system flowrates given in the Technical Specifications (TS).
This reduction in the area served by the system will result in lower ABFVE system flowrates to the Unit 1 and 2 Vents. Presently, the flowrates listed in TS 4.7.7 are 54,000 CFM +/-10% for Unit 1 and 43,000 CFM
+/- 10% for Unit 2.
Upon completion of the modification, these values will be reduced to 45,700 CFM +/- 10% for Unit 1 and 40,500 CFM +/- 10% for Unit 2.
The modification will also relocate an existing gaseous effluent release point, and relocate an existing radiation monitor (EMF 53).
Relocating the 8907280276 890725 PDR ADOCK 05000369 P
4 release point requires a change to the TS Figure 5.1-3 that identifies the location of the existing McGuire gaseous release points.
A more legible copy of the Figure 5.1-3 would also be substituted. Also, administrative changes to several TS tables are proposed to rename the " Contaminated Parts Warehouse Ventilation System" to the " Waste Handling Ventilation System."
The proposed amendments would change the McGuire TS consistent with the above planned modifications. The above proposed changes will affect TS 4.7.7; Tatle 3.3-13 (Item 8); Table 4.3-9 (Item 8); Table 4.11-2 (Item 4b); and, Figure 5.1-3.
The licensee finds that the gaseous curie release from plant operations will not increase or be of a different type as a result of this modification.
The improved solid waste handling capability will reduce solid radwaste volume while the improved laundry facilities will reduce liquid radwaste volume.
The raodification to the ventilation systems as described, and the relocation of the existing release point will not increase the existing offsite dose analysis or the environmental consequences of operating the plant.
The application for the amendments was dated May 11, 1989, and supplemented Junc 14, 1989.
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendments, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.
By Auoust 28, 1989
