QHITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIDH LONG ISLAND LIGHTING COMPANY NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION. UNIT 2
[NVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT DOCKET NO. 50-410 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering the issuance of an Order approving, under 10 CFR S0.80, an application regarding a proposed indirect transfer of control of ownership and possessory rights held by Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) under the operating license for Nine Mlle Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP2). The indirect transfer would be to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), a corporate municipal instrumentality of New York State. LILC0 is 11 censed by the Commission to own and possess an 18 percent interest in NMP2, 'scated in the town of Scriba, Oswego County, New York.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of the Proposed Action:
The proposed action would content to the indirect transfer of control of the license to the extent affected by LILCO becoming a subsidiary of LIPA.
This restructuring of LILCO as a subsidiary of LIPA would result from LIPA's proposed purchase of LILCO stock through a eash merger at a time when LILC0 1
consists of its electric transmission and distribution system, its retail electric business, substantially all of its electric regulatory assets, and its 18 percent share of NMP2. LILCO wou11 continue to exist as an " electric utility" as defined in 10 CFR 50.2 providing the same electric utility services it did immediately prior to the restructuring. No direct transfer of 9712170220 971209 PDR ADOCK 05000410 P pm
l 9.. * , l the operating license or interests in the station would result from the proposed restructuring. The transaction would not involve any change to )
either the management organization or technical personncl of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC), which is responsible for operating and maintaining l NMP2 and is not involved in the LIPA acquisition of LILCO. The proposed action is in accordance with LILCO's application dated September 8, 1997, as ;
modified and supplemented October 8,1997, and November 7,1997.
Ihtjted for the Proposed Action:
The proposed action is required to enable LIPA to acquire LILC0 as described above.
Environmental Imoacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed corporate restructuring and concludes that there will be no physical or operational changes to NMP2. The corporate restructuring will not affect the qualifications or organizational affiliation of the personnel who operate and maintain the facility, as NNPC will continue to be responsible for the >
maintenance and operation of NMP2 and is not involved in the acquisition of LILCO by LIPA.
The change will not increase the probability or consequences of accidents, no changes are being made in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite, and there is no significant increase in the allowable individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the restructuring would not affect nonradiological plant effluents and would have no other
8 ,. '
i .
environmental impact. Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there are no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
Alternatives to the Prooosed Action:
Since the Commission has concluded there are no significant environmental effects that would result from the proposed action, any alternatives with equal or greater environmental impact need not be evaluated.
As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action. Denial of the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the alternative action are similar.
Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in the Final Environmental Statements Related to the Operation of Nine Milt Point Nuclear Station, Unit No.2, (NUREG-~1085) dated May 1985.
Aaencies and Persons Contacted:
In accordance with its stated policy, on December 10, 1997, the staff consulted with the New York State official, Mr. Jack Spath, regarding the enviror. mental impact of the proposed action. The State official had no comments.
f_lfilljNG 0F NO SLGSIFICANT IMPACT Based upon the environmental assessment, the Cnmmission concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, the Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action.
For further details with respect to the proposed action, see LILCO's application dated September 8, as modified and supplemented by letters dated l
