NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–289]

Amergen Energy Company, LLC;

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. DPR–

50 issued to AmerGen Energy Company,

LLC, (the licensee) for operation of the

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit

1 (TMI–1), located in Dauphin County,

Pennsylvania.

The proposed amendment would

remove the individual control building

isolation and recirculation damper

numbers from Technical Specification

(TS) 4.12.1.3, and instead refer to the

‘‘required’’ dampers. The requirement to

test these dampers remains the same.

The Bases have been modified to

indicate that the damper numbers for

control building isolation and

recirculation are contained in the

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report

(UFSAR).

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

The Commission has made a

proposed determination that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration. Under

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR

50.92, this means that operation of the

facility in accordance with the proposed

amendment would not (1) Involve a

significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from

any accident previously evaluated; or

(3) involve a significant reduction in a

margin of safety. 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. Operation of the facility in accordance

with the proposed amendment would not

involve a significant increase in the

probability of occurrence or the

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated. The proposed amendment is an

administrative change which removes an

unnecessary level of detail from the

Technical Specifications, and is consistent

with NRC Revised Standard Technical

Specifications (NUREG–1430, Rev.1). The

TMI Unit 1 UFSAR currently identifies and

describes the control building isolation and

recirculation dampers required for

emergency operation and their design

function. TMI Unit 1 control room

habitability requirements are not affected.

The proposed amendment does not affect the

existing surveillance frequency or the

operability requirements for the required

dampers. Therefore, the proposed

amendment has no affect on the probability

of occurrence or the consequences of an

accident previously evaluated.

2. Operation of the facility in accordance

with the proposed amendment would not

create the possibility of a new or different

kind of accident from any previously

evaluated. The proposed amendment is an

administrative change which removes an

unnecessary level of detail from the

Technical Specifications, and is consistent

with NRC Revised Standard Technical

Specifications (NUREG–1430, Rev. 1). TMI

Unit 1 control room habitability requirements

are not affected. Therefore, the proposed

amendment does not create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from any

previously evaluated.

3. Operation of the facility in accordance

with the proposed amendment would not

involve a significant reduction in a margin of

safety. The proposed amendment is an

administrative change which removes an

unnecessary level of detail from the

Technical Specifications, and is consistent

with NRC Revised Standard Technical

Specifications (NUREG–1430, Rev.1). The

existing Technical Specification surveillance

frequency and operability requirements for

required isolation and recirculation dampers

are maintained. Therefore, the proposed

amendment does not reduce any 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.

The Commission is seeking public

comments on this proposed

determination. Any comments received

within 30 days after the date of

publication of this notice will be

considered in making any final

determination.

Normally, the Commission will not

issue the amendment until the

expiration of the 30-day notice period.

However, should circumstances change

during the notice period such that

failure to act in a timely way would

result, for example, in derating or

shutdown of the facility, the

Commission may issue the license

amendment before the expiration of the

30-day notice period, provided that its

final determination is that the

amendment involves no significant

hazards consideration. The final

determination will consider all public

and State comments received. Should

the Commission take this action, it will

publish in the Federal Register a notice

of issuance and provide for opportunity

for a hearing after issuance. The

Commission expects that the need to

take this action will occur very

infrequently.

Written comments may be submitted

by mail to the Chief, Rules and

Directives Branch, Division of

Administrative Services, Office of

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001, and should cite the publication

date and page number of this Federal

Register notice. Written comments may

also be delivered to Room 6D59, Two

White Flint North, 11545 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30

a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays.

Copies of written comments received

may be examined at the NRC Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC.

The filing of requests for hearing and

petitions for leave to intervene is

discussed below.

By June 21, 2000, the licensee may

file a request for a hearing with respect

to issuance of the amendment to the

subject facility operating license and

any person whose interest may be

affected by this proceeding and who

wishes to participate as a party in the

proceeding must file a written request

for a hearing and a petition for leave to

intervene. Requests for a hearing and a

petition for leave to intervene shall be

filed in accordance with the

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10

CFR part 2. Interested persons should

consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.714

which is available at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, and accessible

electronically through the ADAMS

Public Electronic Reading Room link at

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

If a request for a hearing or petition for

leave to intervene is filed by the above

date, the Commission or an Atomic

Safety and Licensing Board, designated

by the Commission or by the Chairman

of the Atomic Safety and Licensing

Board Panel, will rule on the request

and/or petition; and the Secretary or the

designated Atomic Safety and Licensing
