66572 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 215 / Monday, November 6, 2000 / Notices

Cities Nuclear Power Station (NRC letter

to Commonwealth Edison dated

February 4, 2000). In the letter of

February 4, 2000, the staff concluded

that application of Code Case N–640

would not significantly reduce the

safety margins required by 10 CFR part

50, Appendix G, and would eliminate

steam vapor hazards by allowing

inspections in the primary containment

to be conducted at a lower coolant

temperature. The staff also concluded

that relaxation of the requirements of

Appendix G to the Code by application

of Code Case N–640 is acceptable and

would maintain, pursuant to 10 CFR

50.12(a)(2)(ii), the underlying purpose

of the ASME Code and the NRC

regulations to ensure an acceptable

margin of safety for the Quad Cities

RPVs and reactor coolant pressure

boundary. AmerGen’s proposal to use

Code N–640 for generation of the CPS

P–T limit curves is predicated on the

same technical basis as was used for

generation of the Quad Cities P–T

limits. The staff therefore concludes that

Code Case N–640 is acceptable for

application to the CPS P–T limits.

Hence, the staff concurs that relaxation

of the ASME Section XI, Appendix G,

requirements by application of ASME

Code Case N–640 is acceptable for CPS

and would maintain, pursuant to 10

CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), the underlying

purpose of the ASME Code and the NRC

regulations to ensure an acceptable

margin of safety.

III

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the

Commission may, upon application by

any interested person or upon its own

initiative, grant exemptions from the

requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, when

(1) the exemptions are authorized by

law, will not present an undue risk to

public health or safety, and are

consistent with the common defense

and security; and (2) when special

circumstances are present. The staff

accepts the licensee’s determination that

the exemption would be required to

approve the use of Code Cases N–588

and N–640. The staff examined the

licensee’s rationale to support the

exemption requests and concurred that

the use of the code cases would meet

the underlying intent of these

regulations. Based upon a consideration

of the conservatism that is explicitly

incorporated into the methodologies of

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G; Appendix

G of the Code; and Regulatory Guide

1.99, Revision 2, the staff concludes that

application of the code cases as

described would provide an adequate

margin of safety against brittle failure of

the RPV. This is also consistent with the

determination that the staff has reached

for other licensees under similar

conditions based on the same

considerations. Therefore, the staff

concludes that requesting exemption

under the special circumstances of 10

CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) is appropriate and

that the methodology of Code Cases N–

588 and N–640 may be used to revise

the P–T limits for Clinton Power

Station.

IV

Accordingly, the Commission has

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR

50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by

law, will not endanger life or property

or common defense and security, and is,

otherwise, in the public interest.

Therefore, the Commission hereby

grants AmerGen Energy Company, LLC,

exemption from the requirements of 10

CFR Part 50, Section 50.60(a) and 10

CFR Part 50, Appendix G, for Clinton

Power Station.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, an

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact has been

prepared and published in the Federal

Register (65 FR 61204). Accordingly,

based upon the environmental

assessment, the Commission has

determined that the granting of this

exemption will not result in any

significant effect on the quality of the

human environment.

This exemption is effective upon

issuance.
