NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–423]

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company;

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. NPF–

49 issued to Northeast Nuclear Energy

Company (the licensee) for operation of

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit

3, located in New London County,

Connecticut.

The proposed change to Technical

Specification 3/4.4.3, Pressurizer, would

replace the pressurizer maximum water

inventory requirement with a

pressurizer maximum indicated level

requirement. The proposed amendment

would also make editorial changes and

modify the associated Bases section.

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:

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company

(NNECO) has reviewed the proposed revision

in accordance with 10 CFR 50.92 and has

concluded that the revision does not involve

a significant hazards consideration (SHC).

The basis for this conclusion is that the three

criteria of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are not satisfied.

The proposed revision does not involve [an]

SHC because the revision would not:

1. Involve a significant increase in the

probability or consequence of an accident

previously evaluated.

The proposed Technical Specification

provides added restrictions on pressurizer

level to ensure that the pressurizer will not

overfill or empty in a transient and that RCS

[reactor coolant system] pressure control will
