About 205 acres of this property is located in Atchison County, Missouri, opposite the Nebraska portion of the station site. The land which the station physically occupies is bounded by the Missouri River on the east and by privately-owned property on the north, south, and west.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 255 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-46 NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT COOPER NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NO. 50-298
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated September 8, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15258A185), as supplemented by letter dated June 13, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16175A320), Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) regarding the technical specifications (TSs) for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). The supplemental letter dated June 13, 2016, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on November 10, 2015 (80 FR 69712).
Specifically, the proposed amendment would delete TS 4.1.1, "Site Area and Exclusion Boundary"; TS 4.1.2, "Low Population Zone"; and TS Figure 4.1-1, "Site and Exclusion Area Boundaries and Low Population Zone," with a text description of the site in TS 4.1, "Site Location." In addition, typographical errors were corrected in Section 1.1, "Definitions."
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act requires nuclear power plant operating licenses to include TSs. The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR), Part 50, Section 50.36, "Technical specifications." The TS requirements in 10 CFR 50.36 include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings and control settings, (2) limiting conditions for operation, (3) surveillance requirements, (4) design features, and (5) administrative controls.
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(4) describes the contents of the TS design features section.
Details to be included are those features of the facility such as materials of construction and geometric arrangements, which, if altered or modified, would have a significant effect on safety and are not covered in categories described in paragraphs (c)(1 ), (2), and (3) of 10 CFR 50.36.
Enclosure 2
In addition to the above regulatory requirements, the NRC staff considered the following guidance document during this review: NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications
[STS], General Electric BWR/4 Plants," Volume 1, Revision 4.0 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12104A192).
2.1 Technical Specification Changes The licensee proposed to change CNS TS as follows:
The current TS 4.1, "Site Location," states:
4.1.1 Site Area and Exclusion Area Boundary The Site and Exclusion Area Boundaries coincide with each other and shall be as shown on Figure 4.1-1.
4.1.2 Low Population Zone The low population zone is all the land within a circle with its center at the reactor and a radius of 1 mile as shown on Figure 4.1-1.
The revised TS 4.1, "Site Location," would state:
The station site is located in Nemaha County, Nebraska, on the west bank of the Missouri River, at river mile 532.5. This part of the river is referred to by the Corps of Engineers as the Lower Brownville Bend. The site consists of 1,351 acres of land owned by NPPD. About 205 acres of this property is located in Atchison County, Missouri, opposite the Nebraska portion of the station site. The land which the station physically occupies is bounded by the Missouri River on the east and by privately-owned property on the north, south, and west. The boundary of the exclusion area is delineated by the property lines. The distance from the reactor center to the boundary of the low population zone is a radius of 1 mile.
In addition, Figure 4.1-1, which is referenced in both TSs 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, would be deleted.
The licensee also proposed to correct typographical errors in Section 1.1, Definitions. The errors were introduced into a final typed TS page for CNS License Amendment 251 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15168A171 ). In the definition for Dose Equivalent 1-131, the I was mistakenly typed as a "1" and for Linear Heat Generation Rate, the acronym was mistakenly typed as LGHR instead of LHGR.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
Current CNS TSs 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 describe the Site and Exclusion Area Boundaries, and the Low Population Zone by way of reference to Figure 4.1-1. The licensee proposed to modify the TSs by deleting TS Figure 4.1-1, which reflects the current site layout, and replace the figure
with a text description of the CNS site. In the application, the licensee states, in part, that 'The proposed change does not modify the plant design, nor does the proposed change alter the operation of the plant or equipment involved in either routine plant operation or in the mitigation of design basis accidents." Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the changes to TS 4.1 would not affect the materials of construction or geometric arrangements of the facility and continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(4).
The proposed changes to TS 1.1 in the Dose Equivalent and LHGR definitions corrects a typing error that was introduced in Amendment No. 251. The NRC staff finds that these are editorial changes that clarify the requirement.
The NRC staff finds the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance of NUREG-1433, Revision 4, in which STS 4.1 recommends licensees add a "text description of site location."
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's application and concluded that the proposed changes are non-technical and editorial in nature. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.
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 November 10, 2015 (80 FR 69712). 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.
