The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.

The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2013 (78 FR 40519).

COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - SAFETY EVALUATION CORRECTIONS TO AMENDMENT NO. 247 RE: MODIFICATION OF RENEWED OPERATING LICENSE CONDITION 2.E (TAC NO. MF0692)

Dear Mr. Limpias:

By letter dated September 12, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13191A105), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) issued Amendment No. 247 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-46 for the Cooper Nuclear Station. The amendment modified the Cooper Nuclear Station license condition 2. E to require incorporation of the commitments listed in Appendix A of NUREG-1944, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Cooper Nuclear Station," dated October 2010, in the updated safety analysis report to be managed in accordance with Section 50.59 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Administrative errors regarding the environmental consideration and conclusion were identified subsequent to issuance of Amendment No. 247. These errors are administrative in nature and do not affect the NRC staff's overall conclusions associated with Amendment No. 247.

Enclosed are the corrected pages 26 and 27 of the safety evaluation to be included with the issued amendment, with revision bars indicating the changed areas of text. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Nebraska State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2013 (78 FR 40519). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
