NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–289; NRC–2009–0097] 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC 

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 

1 Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of exemptions from Title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, 

‘‘Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown 

Capability,’’ for the use of operator 

manual actions in lieu of the 

requirements specified in Section III.G.2 

as requested by Exelon Generation 

Company, LLC (the licensee, formerly 

AmerGen Energy Company, LLC), for 

operation of Three Mile Island Nuclear 

Station, Unit 1 (TMI–1), located in 

Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. 

Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, 

the NRC is issuing this environmental 

assessment and finding of no significant 

impact. 

Environmental Assessment 

Identification of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would grant 

exemptions to 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix R, Section III.G.2 based on 

two operator manual actions contained 

in the licensee’s Fire Protection Program 

(FPP). The licensee’s FPP requires that 

the identified operator manual actions 

be performed outside of the control 

room to achieve shutdown following 

fires in certain fire areas. The licensee 

states that each of the manual actions 

were subjected to a manual action 

feasibility review for TMI–1 that 

determined that the manual actions are 

feasible and can be reliably performed. 

The proposed action is in accordance 

with the licensee’s application dated 

February 4, 2008, as supplemented on 

January 28, 2009, Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) accession numbers 

ML080350369 and ML090280577, 

respectively. In the January 28, 2009, 

supplement, the licensee withdrew one 

of the three originally proposed manual 

actions from the exemption request, 

since they have determined that action 

is no longer required. 

The Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed exemption from 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix R, was submitted in 

response to the need for an exemption 

as identified by NRC Regulatory 

Information Summary (RIS) 2006–10, 

‘‘Regulatory Expectations with 

Appendix R Paragraph III.G.2 Operator 

Manual Actions.’’ The RIS noted that 

NRC inspections identified that some 

licensees had relied upon operator 

manual actions, instead of the options 

specified in Paragraph 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix R, III.G.2, as a permanent 

solution to resolve issues related to 

Thermo-Lag 330–1 fire barriers. The 

licensee indicates that the operator 

manual actions, referenced in the 

February 4, 2008 application, were 

previously included in correspondence 

with the NRC and found acceptable in 

a fire protection-related Safety 

Evaluation (SE) dated September 7, 

1988, ADAMS accession number 

8809150224. However, RIS 2006–10 

identifies that an exemption under 10 

CFR 50.12 is necessary for use of the 

manual actions in lieu of the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix R, III.G.2, even if the NRC 

previously issued an SE that found the 

manual actions acceptable. The 

proposed exemption provides the 

formal vehicle for NRC approval for the 

use of the specified operator manual 

actions instead of the options specified 

in 10 CFR part 50, Appendix R, III.G.2. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC staff evaluated the manual 

operator actions presented in the 

proposed exemption in an NRC SE 

dated September 7, 1988, (ADAMS 

accession number 8809150224) and 

found that they maintained a safe 

shutdown capability that satisfies the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, 

III.G. In addition, the licensee 

supplemented the February 4, 2008 

request for exemption on January 28, 

2009, with additional information to 

confirm that the operator manual 

actions addressed in the 1988 SE for 

which the exemptions are sought, are 

feasible and that the safety basis for 

these actions remains valid. Therefore, 

the proposed action will not 

significantly increase the probability or 

consequences of accidents. No changes 

are being made in the types of effluents 

that may be released off site. There is no 

significant increase in the amount of 

any effluent released off site. There is no 

significant increase in occupational or 

public radiation exposure. Therefore, 

there are no significant radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. The NRC staff, 

thus, concludes that granting the 

proposed exemption would result in no 

significant radiological environmental 

impact. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not have a potential to affect 

any historic sites. It does not affect nonVerDate Nov<24>2008 15:08 Mar 03, 2009 Jkt 217001 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\04MRN1.SGM 04MRN1

radiological plant effluents and has no 

other environmental impact. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the 

application would result in no change 

in current environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the alternative action are 

similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Environmental Statement Related to the 

Operation of Three Mile Island Nuclear 

Station, Units 1 and 2, NUREG–0552, 

dated December 1972. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on January 30, 2009, the NRC staff 

consulted with the Pennsylvania State 

official, Michael Murphy of the 

Pennsylvania State Department of 

Environmental Protection, regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. The State official had no 

comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated February 4, 2008, as 

supplemented on January 28, 2009,

respectively. Documents may be
