NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–344]

Portland General Electric, Trojan

Nuclear Plant; Environmental

Assessment and Finding of No

Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. NPF–

1 issued to Portland General Electric

Company (PGE), the licensee, for the

Trojan Nuclear Plant, a permanently

shutdown nuclear reactor facility

located in Prescott, Oregon.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of Proposed Action

The proposed action would revise the

Trojan Nuclear Plant (TNP) Permanently

Defueled Technical Specifications

(PDTS) by removing Figure 4.1–1, ‘‘Site

and Exclusion Area Boundaries,’’ from

Section 4.0, ‘‘Design Features,’’ and

incorporate the applicable portion of

this figure in the Trojan Nuclear Plant

Defueled Safety Analysis Report

(DSAR). The proposed action would

also make other associated

administrative changes resulting from

the deletion of Figure 4.1–1, as well as

an editorial change to the table of

contents. The proposed action is in

accordance with the licensee’s

application for amendment dated

November 16, 1999.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The licensee proposed to remove the

Trojan site map from the PDTS and

incorporate the applicable portion of

this figure in the TNP DSAR as part of

the NRC’s technical specification (TS)

improvement initiative which

encourages licensees to request removal

of inappropriate and/or unnecessary

information from their TSs. This type of

site-specific information is not required

to be in TSs under 10 CFR 50.36

requirements. Furthermore, this

proposed change is consistent with NRC

guidance in draft NUREG–1625,

‘‘Proposed Standard Technical

Specifications (TS) for Permanently

Defueled Westinghouse Plants.’’ In

concert with Section 50.36

requirements, NUREG–1625 provides

guidance in determining a minimum set

of standard requirements for

permanently shutdown reactor facilities.

Additional editorial and administrative

changes were also proposed for

consistency with the change discussed

above.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has completed its

evaluation of the proposed amendment

to the TNP TSs and concludes that

issuance of the proposed amendment

will not have an environmental impact.

The proposed change in TS site-specific

information is consistent with the

regulations and regulatory guidance and

is considered editorial and

administrative in nature. The licensee

does not propose any disposal or

relocation of nuclear fuel or any changes

to structures, systems, components, or

site boundaries.

The proposed action will not 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 regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action does not involve any historical

sites. It does not affect non-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 Commission

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

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’

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

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement for the Trojan plant.

Agencies and Persons Contacted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 13, 2000, the staff consulted

with the State of Oregon official, Mr.

Adam Bless of the Oregon Office of

Energy, 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 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 the licensee’s letter

dated November 16, 1999, which is

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Public Document Room,

The Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,

NW., Washington, DC. Publicly

available records will be accessible

electronically from the ADAMS Public

Library component on the NRC Web

site, http:www.nrc.gov (the Electronic

Reading Room).

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day

of April 2000.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
