Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, Docket No. 50-309, Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station, Lincoln County, Maine.

Date of amendment request: January 3, 2013.

Description of amendment request: The amendment proposes to revise License Condition 2.B(6)(d) Physical Protection. It is proposed to update the title of the Physical Security Plan, from the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Station Physical Security Plan, the Maine Yankee Nuclear Atomic Power Station Guard Training and Qualification Plan, and the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Safeguards Contingency Plan to the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Physical Security Plan.

Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination: As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment is a title change only. There is no reduction in commitments in the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Physical Security Plan therefore; the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Enclosure

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment is a title change only. There is no reduction in commitments in the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Physical Security Plan therefore; the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment is a title change only. There is no reduction in commitments in the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Physical Security Plan therefore; the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.

Attorney for licensee: Joseph Fay, Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, 362 Injun Hollow Road, East Hampton, Connecticut, 06424-3099.
