NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–443]

North Atlantic Energy Service

Corporation Seabrook Station, Unit No.

1; Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an exemption

from Facility Operating License No.

NPF–86, issued to North Atlantic

Energy Service Corporation (the licensee

or North Atlantic), for operation of the

Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook)

located in Rockingham County, New

Hampshire.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

This Environmental Assessment has

been prepared to address potential

environmental issues related to North

Atlantic’s application of February 17,

1995. The proposed action would

exempt North Atlantic from the

requirements of 10 CFR Part 50,

Appendix J, Paragraph III.D.1.(a), to the

extent that a one-time interval extension

would be granted for Type A testing.

The interval between the first and

second Type A tests in the first 10-year

containment inservice inspection period

would be extended by approximately 22

months from the November 1995

refueling outage to the September 1997

refueling outage.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action would permit

North Atlantic to defer the Type A test

from the November 1995 refueling

outage, thereby saving the cost of

performing the test and eliminating the

test period from the critical path time of

the outage. North Atlantic has stated

that the exemption request meets the

requirements of 10 CFR 50.12,

paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2)(ii). The

historical Type A tests have

demonstrated that Seabrook has a low

leakage containment. All three Type A

tests have been performed without a

single failure with as-found leak rates

being significantly lower than the

acceptance and design limits. The Type

B and C testing programs, i.e., the local

leak rate tests, are not being modified

and will continue effectively to detect

containment leakage caused by the

degradation of active containment

isolation components as well as

containment penetrations. It has been

the experience at Seabrook that any

significant containment leakage paths

are detected by the Type B and C tests

and that the Type A test results have

only been confirmatory of the results of

the Type B and C test results.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has completed its

evaluation of the proposed action and

concludes that the proposed one-time

exemption would not increase the

probability or consequences of accidents

previously analyzed and the proposed

one-time exemption would not affect

facility radiation levels or facility

radiological effluents. North Atlantic

has analyzed the results of previous

Type A tests performed at Seabrook to

show good containment performance

and they will conduct the Type B and

C local leak rate tests which historically

have been shown to be the principal

means of detecting containment leakage

paths with the Type A tests confirming

the Type B and C test results. It is also

noted that North Atlantic will perform

the visual containment inspection

although it is only required by

Appendix J to be conducted in

conjunction with Type A tests. The NRC

staff considers that these inspections,

though limited in scope, provide an

important added level of confidence in

the continued integrity of the

containment boundary. The change will

not increase the probability or

consequences of accidents, no changes

are being made in the types of any

effluents that may be released offsite,

and there is no significant increase in

the allowable individual or cumulative

occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the Commission concludes

that there are no significant radiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action involves features located entirely

within the restricted area as defined in

10 CFR Part 20. It does not affect

nonradiological plant effluents and has

no other environmental impact.

Accordingly, the Commission concludes

that there are no significant

nonradiological environmental impacts

associated with the proposed action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

Since the Commission has concluded

there is no measurable environmental

impact associated with the proposed

action, any alternatives with equal or

greater environmental impact need not

be evaluated. As an alternative to the

proposed action, the NRC staff

considered denial of the proposed

action. 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

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement for the Seabrook Station, Unit

No. 1.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on April 11, 1995 the NRC staff

consulted with the New Hampshire

state official, Mr. George Iverson of the

New Hampshire Emergency

Management Agency regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. On April 12, 1995 the NRC staff

consulted with the Massachusetts state

official, Mr. James Muckerheid of the

Massachusetts Emergency Management

Agency. The state officials had no

comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

Based upon the environmental

assessment, the Commission concludes

that the proposed action will not have

a significant effect on the quality of the

human environment. Accordingly, the

Commission has determined not to

prepare an environmental impact

statement for the proposed action.

For further details with respect to the

proposed action, see North Atlantic’s

letter dated February 17, 1995, which is

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Public Document Room,

The Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,

NW., Washington, DC, and at the local

public document room located at the

Exeter Public Library, Fonders Park,

Exeter, NH 03833.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day

of May 1995.
