| | ==1.0 INTRODUCTION== |
| | |
| | By application dated April 4, 2006 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML061010771), STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC, the licensee) requested changes to the Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) for South Texas Project (STP), |
| | Units 1 and 2. |
| | The proposed changes would amend South Texas Project FOLs, NPF-76 and NPF-80, by changing the name of one licensee Texas Genco, LP (Texas Genco), to NRG South Texas LP. |
| | The proposed change relates to the purchase of Texas Gencos parent company by NRG Energy, Incorporated, as approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in January 2006 for the indirect transfer of licenses for STP as held by Texas Genco. |
| | 2.0 EVALUATION The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees request for a name change and finds that the proposed amendments would change the name of one of the licensees. There is no change in design, operation, surveillance, or maintenance of the plant. The NRC staff finds that the amendments are administrative in nature, and are, therefore, acceptable. |
| | |
| | ==3.0 STATE CONSULTATION== |
| | |
| | In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Texas State official was contacted on June 18, 19, and 29, 2007, for notification of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official could not be reached due to a Texas Department of Health building emergency. |
| | |
| | ==4.0 FINAL NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION== |
| | DETERMINATION (NSHCD) |
| | The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and published for public comments, such finding on May 9, 2007 (72 FR 26428). Because this amendment is being issued after the 30-day comment |
| | |
| | period and before the expiration of the 60-day period providing opportunity to request a hearing, a final NSHCD is included in this safety evaluation. |
| | As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee, in its submission, provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration. The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis against the standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c). The NRC staff's review is presented below: |
| | The proposed amendment[s] would only change the name of a licensee. The proposed name change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed name change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed name change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. |
| | The NRC staff has determined, based on this review, that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff has determined that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. |
| | |
| | ==5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION== |
|
| |
|
| ==91.0INTRODUCTION==
| | Pursuant to 10 CFR Sections 51.21, 51.32, and 51.35, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact has been published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2007 (72 FR 32924). Accordingly, based upon the environmental assessment, the NRC staff has determined that the issuance of these amendments will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. |

| The proposed change relates to the purchase of Texas Genco's parent company by NRG Energy, Incorporated, as approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in January 2006 for the indirect transfer of licenses for STP as held by Texas Genco.2.0EVALUATIONThe NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's request for a name change and finds that theproposed amendments would change the name of one of the licensees.

|
| ==4.0FINAL NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION==
| | 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) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. |

Amendment No. 165
SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NOS. 178 AND 165 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. NPF-76 AND NPF-80 STP NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY, ET AL.
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-498 AND 50-499
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated April 4, 2006 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML061010771), STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC, the licensee) requested changes to the Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) for South Texas Project (STP),
Units 1 and 2.
The proposed changes would amend South Texas Project FOLs, NPF-76 and NPF-80, by changing the name of one licensee Texas Genco, LP (Texas Genco), to NRG South Texas LP.
The proposed change relates to the purchase of Texas Gencos parent company by NRG Energy, Incorporated, as approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in January 2006 for the indirect transfer of licenses for STP as held by Texas Genco.
2.0 EVALUATION The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees request for a name change and finds that the proposed amendments would change the name of one of the licensees. There is no change in design, operation, surveillance, or maintenance of the plant. The NRC staff finds that the amendments are administrative in nature, and are, therefore, acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Texas State official was contacted on June 18, 19, and 29, 2007, for notification of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official could not be reached due to a Texas Department of Health building emergency.
4.0 FINAL NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION
DETERMINATION (NSHCD)
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and published for public comments, such finding on May 9, 2007 (72 FR 26428). Because this amendment is being issued after the 30-day comment
period and before the expiration of the 60-day period providing opportunity to request a hearing, a final NSHCD is included in this safety evaluation.
As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee, in its submission, provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration. The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's analysis against the standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c). The NRC staff's review is presented below:
The proposed amendment[s] would only change the name of a licensee. The proposed name change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed name change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed name change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The NRC staff has determined, based on this review, that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff has determined that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
Pursuant to 10 CFR Sections 51.21, 51.32, and 51.35, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact has been published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2007 (72 FR 32924). Accordingly, based upon the environmental assessment, the NRC staff has determined that the issuance of these amendments will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
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) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
