COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–305; NRC–2010–0387] 

Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; 

Kewaunee Power Station; 

Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of an amendment to Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–43, issued 

to Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. 

(DEK, the licensee), for operation of the 

Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) located 

in Ottawa County, Wisconsin, in 

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.90. 

Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, 

the NRC performed an environmental 

assessment. Based on the results of the 

environmental assessment, the NRC is 

issuing a finding of no significant 

impact in accordance with 10 CFR 

51.32. 

Environmental Assessment 

Identification of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would be a full 

conversion from the current technical 

specifications (CTS) to the improved 

technical specifications (ITS) consistent 

with improved standard technical 

specifications as described in NUREG 

1431, ‘‘Standard Technical 

Specifications—Westinghouse Plants, 

Rev. 3.0’’ (Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System 

(ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML041830612). Standard Technical 

Specifications (STS) Rev. 3.0 is 

modified by the following NRCapproved TS Task Force (TSTF) 

Travelers: TSTF–475–A, Rev. 1; TSTF– 

479–A, Rev. 0; TSTF–482–A, Rev. 0; 

TSTF–485–A, Rev. 0; TSTF–490–A, 

Rev. 0; TSTF–491–A, Rev. 2; TSTF–493, 

Rev. 4; TSTF–497–A, Rev. 0; and TSTF– 

511–A, Rev. 0. The proposed action also 

encompasses beyond scope issues 

included in the Notice of Consideration 

of Issuance of Amendment. 

The proposed action is in accordance 

with the licensee’s application dated 

August 24, 2009 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML092440398), as supplemented by 

letters dated October 22, 2009 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML093070092), April 13, 

2010 (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML101060517 and ML101040090), May

No. ML102920037), and December 2, 

2010 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML103400328). The information 

provided to the NRC staff through the 

joint NRC–DEK ITS conversion Web 

page, hosted by EXCEL Services 

Corporation (EXCEL) can be found in 

these supplements. 

To expedite its review of the 

application, the NRC staff issued its 

requests for additional information 

(RAI) through the KPS ITS Conversion 

web page and the licensee addressed the 

RAI by providing responses on the Web 

page. Entry into the database is 

protected so that only the licensee and 

NRC reviewers can enter information 

into the database to add RAIs (NRC) or 

provide responses to the RAIs (licensee); 

however, the public can enter the 

database to read the questions asked and 

the responses provided. To be in 

compliance with the regulations for 

written communications for license 

amendment requests, and to have the 

database on the KPS dockets before the 

amendment is issued, the licensee has 

submitted the information from the 

database in its supplements to the NRC. 

No further RAI items are being 

processed prior to the issuance of the 

amendment. 

Members of the public can access the 

Web site by going to http:// 

www.excelservices.com. Persons who 

visit the EXCEL Web site and are unable 

to locate Kewaunee ITS Conversion 

information should contact EXCEL 

directly to acquire archived content. As 

an alternative, the licensee’s submitted 

information cited above is available at 

the NRC Web site (http://www.nrc.gov). 

The Need for the Proposed Action: 

The Commission’s ‘‘Proposed Policy 

Statement on Technical Specifications 

Improvements for Nuclear Power 

Reactors’’ (52 FR 3788), dated February 

6, 1987, contained an Interim Policy 

Statement that set forth objective criteria 

for determining which regulatory 

requirements and operating restrictions 

should be included in the technical 

specifications (TS). When it issued the 

Interim Policy Statement, the 

Commission also requested comments 

on it. Subsequently, to implement the 

Interim Policy Statement, each reactor 

vendor owners group and the NRC staff 

began developing standard TS (STS) for 

reactors supplied by each vendor. The 

Commission then published its ‘‘Final 

Policy Statement on Technical 

Specifications Improvements for 

Nuclear Power Reactors’’ (58 FR 39132), 

dated July 22, 1993, in which it 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

80856 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2010 / Notices 

addressed comments received on the 

Interim Policy Statement, and 

incorporated experience in developing 

the STS. The Final Policy Statement 

formed the basis for a revision to 10 CFR 

50.36 (60 FR 36953), dated July 19, 

1995, that codified the criteria for 

determining the content of TSs. The 

NRC Committee to Review Generic 

Requirements reviewed the STS, made 

note of their safety merits, and indicated 

its support of conversion by operating 

plants to the STS. 

For KPS the following document the 

STS and form the basis for the KPS 

conversion to the ITS: 

NUREG–1431, Rev. 3.0, and the 

following NRC approved TSTF 

Travelers: 

1. TSTF–475–A, Rev. 1 ‘‘Control Rod 

Notch Testing Frequency and [source 

range monitor] SRM Insert Control Rod 

Action’’, 

2. TSTF–479–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Changes to 

Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a’’, 

3. TSTF–482–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Correct LCO 

3.0.6 Bases’’, 

4. TSTF–485–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Correct 

Example 1.4–1’’, 

5. TSTF–490–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Deletion of E 

Bar Definition and Revision to [Reactor 

Coolant System] RCS Specific Activity 

Technical Specification’’, 

6. TSTF–491–A, Rev. 2 ‘‘Removal of 

Main Steam and Main Feedwater Valve 

Isolation Times from Technical 

Specifications’’, 

7. TSTF 493, Rev. 4 ‘‘Clarify 

Application of Setpoint Methodology 

for [Limiting Safety System Setting] 

LSSS Functions’’, 

8. TSTF–497–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Limit 

Inservice Testing Program SR 3.0.2 

Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or 

Less’’, 

9. TSTF–511–A, Rev. 0 ‘‘Eliminate 

Working Hour Restrictions from TS 

5.2.2 to Support Compliance with 10 

CFR Part 26.’’ 

The proposed changes to the CTS are 

based on NUREG–1431, Rev. 3.0, 

associated TSTF documents, and the 

guidance provided in the Final Policy 

Statement. The objective of this action 

is to rewrite, reformat, and streamline 

the CTS (i.e., to convert the CTS to the 

ITS). Emphasis was placed on human 

factors principles to improve clarity and 

understanding. The ITS Bases section 

has been significantly expanded to 

clarify and better explain the purpose 

and foundation of each specification. 

In addition to NUREG–1431, Rev. 3.0, 

and associated TSTF documents, 

portions of the CTS were also used as 

the bases for the development of the 

KPS ITS. The NRC staff discussed plantspecific issues (i.e., unique design 

features, requirements, and operating 

practices) with the licensee. 

Relocated specifications include those 

changes to the CTS that relocate certain 

requirements, which do not meet the 10 

CFR 50.36 selection criteria. These 

requirements may be relocated to the 

Bases section, the KPS Updated Safety 

Analysis Report (USAR), the core 

operating limits report, the operational 

quality assurance plan, plant 

procedures, or other licensee-controlled 

documents. Relocation of requirements 

to licensee-controlled documents does 

not eliminate them, but rather, places 

them under more appropriate regulatory 

controls (i.e. 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) and 10 

CFR 50.59) to manage their 

implementation and future changes. 

The proposed action is necessary to 

allow the licensee to implement the ITS. 

The ITS are based on Westinghouse STS 

and they are considered an 

improvement over the CTS. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC has completed its 

environmental assessment of the 

proposed amendment action. The staff 

concludes that the proposed action to 

convert the CTS for the plant to ITS 

would not significantly affect plant 

safety and would not have a significant 

adverse effect on the probability of an 

accident occurring. 

The proposed action would not result 

in an increased radiological hazard 

beyond those previously analyzed in the 

Updated Safety Analysis Report. There 

will be no change to radioactive 

effluents that affect radiation exposures 

to plant workers and members of the 

public. No changes will be made to 

plant buildings or the site property. 

Therefore, no changes or different types 

of radiological impacts are expected as 

a result of the proposed action. 

The proposed action does not result 

in changes to any of the following: To 

land use or water use, or result in 

changes to the quality or quantity of 

non-radiological effluents. No changes 

to the National Pollution Discharge 

Elimination System permit are needed. 

No effects on the aquatic or terrestrial 

habitat in the vicinity or the plant, or to 

threatened, endangered, or protected 

species under the Endangered Species 

Act, or impacts to essential fish habitat 

covered by the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

are expected. There are no impacts to 

the air or ambient air quality. 

The proposed action does not have a 

potential to affect any historical or 

cultural resources because no 

previously undisturbed area will be 

affected by the proposed amendment. 

There would be no impact to 

socioeconomic resources. Therefore, no 

changes to or different types of nonradiological environmental impacts are 

expected as a result of the proposed 

action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action, and thus, the proposed action 

will not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment. The 

details of the NRC staff’s safety 

evaluation will be provided with the 

license amendment approving the 

conversion to the approved technical 

specifications that will be issued to the 

licensee. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the application 

would result in no change in current 

environmental impacts. Thus, the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative 

are similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the ‘‘Final 

Environmental Statement for the KPS,’’ 

dated December, 1972, and the ‘‘Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants 

[NUREG 1437], Supplement 40, 

Regarding Kewaunee Power Station, 

Final Report,’’ dated August 2010 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML102150106). 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

On September 23, 2010, the NRC staff 

consulted with the Wisconsin State 

official, Jeff Kitsembel, Nuclear 

Engineer, of the Public Service 

Commission of Wisconsin and the State 

Liaison Official for Wisconsin, regarding 

the environmental impact of the 

proposed action. The State official had 

no comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action.

proposed action, see the licensee’s
