NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–269, 50–270, and 50–287]

Duke Energy Corporation, Oconee

Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3;

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of amendments to

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–38,

DPR–47, and DPR–55, issued to the

Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee),

for operation of the Oconee Nuclear

Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 located in

Oconee County, South Carolina.

If approved, the proposed

amendments to the Technical

Specifications (TS) would allow use of

a rerolling process as an additional

repair method for steam generator tube

degradation.

Currently, Unit 1 is shut down for its

end-of-cycle 17 refueling outage. During

a non-destructive examination of the hot

leg tubesheet, indications of tube

degradation was found in the upper

tubesheet region of approximately 900

tubes in the 1B steam generator. The

licensee has proposed use of a rerolling

process to ensure that the area of

degradation will not serve as a pressure

boundary once the repair roll is

installed, thus, permitting the tube to

remain in service. The current TS only

allow use of a sleeving process to repair

steam generator tubes, otherwise the

tubes must be removed from service by

plugging. Since the reroll process is not

contained in the Oconee TS as an

approved repair method, NRC staff

approval of the amendments is

necessary prior to exceeding 250 °F in

the Unit 1 Reactor Coolant System. Unit

1 is presently expected to restart in the

third week of November 1997.

Therefore, the amendments must be

processed prior to that date. Any delay

would delay the startup, which requires

that the amendments be processed

under exigent circumstances.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendments, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6) for

amendments to be granted under

exigent circumstances, the NRC staff

must determine that the amendment

request involves no significant hazards

consideration. Under the Commission’s

regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means
