NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–397]

Energy Northwest; WNP–2;

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. NPF–21, issued

to Energy Northwest (the licensee), for

operation of WNP–2 located in Benton

County, Washington.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would change

the name of the facility from WNP–2 to

Columbia Generating Station in all

applicable locations of the Facility

Operating License including the

licensee’s technical specifications (TS).

In addition, the proposed action would

make editorial changes to TS Figure

4.1–1, ‘‘Site Area Boundary’’ modifying

or deleting text associated with

references to WNP–2. TS Figure 4.1–1

also identifies a building as both the

‘‘Plant Support Facility’’ and the

‘‘Emergency Operations Facility.’’ The

licensee has proposed a change to delete

the name ‘‘Plant Support Facility’’ from

the figure.

The proposed action is in accordance

with the licensee’s application for

amendment dated October 12, 2000.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to

change the operating license to

accurately reflect the name change of

the facility from WNP–2 to Columbia

Generating Station and to identify the

building in TS Figure 4.1–1 with only

the name ‘‘Emergency Operations

Facility.’’

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The NRC has completed its evaluation

of the proposed action and concludes

that the name change is administrative

in nature and will not affect the

operation of WNP–2.

The proposed action will not

significantly increase the probability or

consequences of accidents, no changes

are being made in the types of any

effluents that may be released off site,

and there is no significant increase in

occupational or public radiation

exposure. Therefore, there are no

significant radiological environmental

impacts associated with the proposed

action.

With regards to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action does not involve any historic

sites. It does not affect nonradiological

plant effluents and has no other

environmental impact. Therefore, there

are no significant nonradiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that

there are no significant environmental

impacts associated with the proposed

action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

As an alternative to the proposed

action, the staff considered denial of the
