II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of an 

amendment to Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. NPF–39 and 

NPF–85, issued to Constellation Energy 

Generation, LLC, for operation of the 

Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 

and 2, located in Montgomery County, 

Pennsylvania. 

In accordance with section 50.90 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Application for 

amendment of license, construction 

permit, or early site permit,’’ 

Constellation Energy Generation, LLC 

(Constellation) requests an amendment 

to Appendix A, ‘‘Technical 

Specifications’’ of Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. NPF–39 and 

NPF–85 for Limerick Generating 

Station, Units 1 and 2, (Limerick) 

respectively. The proposed TS changes 

will establish consistency with the 

Limerick accident analysis and the plant 

design and support the installation of a 

digital modification at Limerick during 

upcoming refueling outages. The 

proposed Limerick TS changes will 

temporarily modify TS requirements 

affecting the mitigation of ATWS events 

during power production operations, for 

example, removing the automatic 

activation of the recirculating pumps for 

a period of 30 days prior to the refueling 

outage. The TS requirements for ATWS 

systems to remain operational and 

conduct surveillance on automatic 

activation systems during cold 

shutdown and refueling operations is 

temporarily removed so that the systems 

can be converted from analog to digital. 

Constellation has evaluated whether a 

significant hazards consideration is 

involved with the proposed amendment 

by focusing on the three conditions set 

forth in 10 CFR 50.92, ‘‘Issuance of 

amendment,’’ as discussed in the 

question responses. 

Before any issuance of the proposed 

license amendment, the NRC will need 

to make the findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and NRC’s regulations. 

The NRC has made a proposed 

determination that the license 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration 

(NSHC). Under the NRC’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation 

of the facility in accordance with the 

proposed amendment would not (1) 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
73884 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 

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 NSHC, as 

modified by NRC staff shown in square 

brackets, which is presented as follows: 

1. Does the proposed change involve 

a significant increase in the probability 

or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated? 

Response: No. 

[For changes related to cold shutdown 

and refuel operations] 

The proposed changes revise TS 

requirements, actions, and testing 

during cold shutdown and refueling to 

be consistent with the accident analysis 

and the plant design. The proposed 

changes do not change any of the 

previously evaluated accidents in the 

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report 

(UFSAR). None of the accidents 

previously evaluated in [cold shutdown 

or refueling] assume a concurrent loss of 

offsite power or automatic ECCS 

[emergency core cooling system] 

initiation. None of the accidents 

previously evaluated in [cold shutdown 

and refueling] assume automatic starting 

of a diesel generator or automatic 

sequencing of loads on the emergency 

busses. None of the accidents previously 

evaluated in [cold shutdown or 

refueling] assume a manual reactor 

scram during refueling. None of the 

accidents previously evaluated assume 

the reactor equipment interlocks are 

engaged with the reactor mode switch in 

Shutdown. Therefore, elimination of 

these requirements from the TS will 

have no effect on the likelihood of an 

accident previously evaluated nor their 

mitigation. Elimination of the 

requirement to suspend core alterations 

with no operable ECCS subsystem in 

[cold shutdown or refueling] will not 

affect the initiation of a draining event 

nor its mitigation. 

[For changes related to power 

production operations] 

The proposed changes establish a onetime Anticipated Transient Without 

Scram Recirculation Pump Trip 

(ATWS–RPT) LCO [limiting condition 

for operation] Applicability condition 

where ATWS–RPT is not required for 30 

days under certain plant operational 

constraints for both channels of ATWS– 

RPT instrumentation, as well as the 

applicability and surveillance 

requirements for the associated Standby 

Liquid Control System (SLCS) and the 

Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) 

isolation instrumentation. The ATWS– 

RPT instrumentation, the SLCS, and 

RWCU instrumentation are mitigative 

systems and components. As such, the 

proposed changes do not impact any 

accident or event precursors. The 

probability of an ATWS event occurring 

does not increase due to this proposed 

change. 

Therefore proposed change[s related 

to power production operations] do not 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability of an accident previously 

evaluated. 

The consequences of the ATWS are 

not increased since the plant will be 

operating at a reduced power level [with 

operational constraints] during the 30 

days when ATWS–RPT system is 

inoperable. The most severe/limiting 

ATWS events are initiated by a 

pressurization transient. With SCRAM 

failure, a pressurization transient can 

result in a large power spike which may 

be significantly higher than rated power. 

The large increase in power exacerbates 

vessel pressurization. 

[. . .] 

[Based on the plant operating at a 

lower power state with operational 

constraints, and proposed risk 

mitigation actions being adopted as 

compensatory measures, there will be 

no increase in consequences of this type 

of event. If the mitigation of an ATWS 

at full power is comparable to that of the 

ATWS at this lower power state, with 

the proposed compensatory measures, 

then there is no significant increase to 

the consequences of the systems being 

changed.] 

Therefore, proposed change[s related 

to ATWS mitigation systems in power 

production operations] [will] not 

involve a significant increase in the 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated. 

2. Does the proposed change create 

the possibility of a new or different kind 

of accident from any accident 

previously evaluated? 

Response: No. 

[For changes related to cold shutdown 

and refuel operations] 

The proposed changes revise TS 

requirements, actions, and testing 

during cold shutdown and refueling to 

establish consistency with the accident 

analysis and the plant design. The 

proposed changes do not change the 

assumed design functions of the affected 

systems in the applicable [cold 

shutdown and refuel operations]. The 

proposed changes do not create any 

credible new accidents as the associated 

initiating events, such as loss of power 

and a draining event, are already 

considered in the licensing basis. 

[For changes related to power 

production operations] 

The proposed changes establish a onetime ATWS–RPT LCO Applicability 

condition where ATWS–RPT is not 

required for 30 days under certain plant 

operational constraints for both 

channels of ATWS–RPT 

instrumentation, as well as the 

applicability and surveillance 

requirements for the associated SLCS 

and the RWCU isolation 

instrumentation. These changes impact 

a mitigating system for an existing 

transient. As such, the unavailability of 

this mitigation system would not be 

considered an initiator of a new or 

different kind of accident. 

Therefore, the proposed changes do 

not create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

previously evaluated. 

3. Does the proposed change involve 

a significant reduction in a margin of 

safety? 

Response: No. 

[For changes related to cold shutdown 

and refuel operations] 

The proposed changes revise TS 

requirements, actions, and testing 

during cold shutdown and refueling to 

be consistent with the accident analysis. 

The proposed changes do not affect the 

analysis of any accident or event in the 

plant’s licensing basis. The proposed 

changes do not alter any design basis or 

safety limit, or any controlling 

numerical values for parameters 

established in the UFSAR or the license. 

[For changes related to power 

production operations] 

Based on a deterministic sensitivity 

analysis of the ATWS AOR [abnormal 

occurrence report], the proposed 

changes will not cause a significant 

reduction in the margin of safety 

provided that the plant is operated at a 

reduced thermal power level. 

The use of available safety related and 

non-safety related equipment during the 

30-day RRCS [Redundant Reactivity 

Control System] demolition period, at a 

reduced power level [with operational 

constraints], will continue to protect the 

fuel, reactor, and containment from 

failure during a postulated ATWS event. 

The fuel cladding barrier is protected 

via adequate cooling and SLCS 

injection. The reactor coolant system 

boundary is protected by ensuring 

compliance with the ASME emergency 

class pressure limit of 120% of design 

pressure. The containment is protected 

by ensuring the suppression pool 

pressure and temperature limits are met. 

Thus, there is no need for any reduction 

in the margin of safety established in the 

[Limerick] design and licensing basis for 

the primary fission product barriers. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 73885 

Therefore, the proposed changes do 

not involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

Based on the above, Constellation 

concludes that the proposed 

amendments do not involve a 

significant hazards consideration under 

the standards set forth in 10 CFR 

50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of 

no significant hazards consideration is 

justified. 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s analysis, as modified by the 

NRC staff, and based on this review, the 

three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are 

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff 

proposes to determine that the license 

amendment request involves a NSHC. 

The NRC is seeking public comments 

on this proposed determination that the 

license amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration. 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 60-day notice period. 

However, if 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 

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. If the Commission 

takes action prior to the expiration of 

either the comment period or the notice 

period, it will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take this action will occur very 

infrequently. 

III. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult 10 CFR 2.309. If 

a petition is filed, the presiding officer 

will rule on the petition and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). 

If a hearing is requested and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, which 

will serve to establish when the hearing 

is held. If the final determination is that 

the amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

and make it immediately effective, 

notwithstanding the request for a 

hearing. Any hearing would take place 

after issuance of the amendment. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

For information about filing a petition 

and about participation by a person not 

a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://

IV. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the ‘‘Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by 

telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1) 

request a digital identification (ID) 

certificate, which allows the participant 

(or its counsel or representative) to 

digitally sign submissions and access 

the E-Filing system for any proceeding 

in which it is participating; and (2) 

advise the Secretary that the participant 

will be submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. ET on the due date. Upon receipt 

of a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email confirming 

receipt of the document. The E-Filing 

system also distributes an email that 

provides access to the document to the 

NRC’s Office of the General Counsel and 

any others who have advised the Office 

of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
73886 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and 

accompanying Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the unrestricted 

release of the Curators of the University 

of Missouri South Farm site located in 

Columbia, Missouri. Based on the 

analysis in the EA, the NRC staff has 

concluded that there would be no 

significant impacts to environmental 

resources from the proposed 

unrestricted release and, therefore, a 

FONSI is appropriate. 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on October 

27, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letter dated November 9, 2018, the 

Curators of the University of Missouri 

requested the removal from License 24– 

00513–32 of the South Farm site located 

in Columbia, Missouri. The South Farm 

site, approximately 60 m by 23 m (200 

ft by 75 ft), was operated as a chemical 

waste disposal facility, including the 

radiological component, between 1969 

and 1972. As required by section 51.30 

of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental 

Assessment,’’ the NRC prepared an EA 

that documents the NRC staff’s 

independent evaluation of the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the unrestricted release of the South 

Farm site. Based on the analysis in the 

EA, the NRC staff has concluded that 

there would be no significant impacts to 

environmental resources from the 

Curators of the University of Missouri 

proposal and, therefore, a FONSI is 

appropriate.
