Southern Nuclear Operating Company,

Inc.; Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant,

Units 1 and 2, Notice of Availability of

the Final Supplement 4 to the Generic

Environmental Impact Statement

Regarding License Renewal for the

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1

and 2

Notice is hereby given that the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

has published a final plant-specific

Supplement 4 to the Generic

Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS),

NUREG–1437, regarding the renewal of

operating licenses DPR–57 and NPF–5

for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2001 / Notices 32397

1The scope of (a)(1) are those SSCs necessary to

assure (i) the integrity of the reactor coolant

pressure boundary, (ii) the capability to shut down

the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition, or

continued (iii) the capability to prevent or mitigate

the consequences of accidents which could result

in potential offsite exposures comparable to the

guideline exposures of part 100. The scope of (a)(2)

are those SSCs necessary for continued operation

without undue risk to the health and safety of the

public.

(HNP), Units 1 and 2, for an additional

20 years of operation. The HNP units are

operated by the Southern Nuclear

Operating Company, Inc. (SNC). HNP is

located in Appling County, Georgia.

Possible alternatives to the proposed

action (license renewal) include no

action and reasonable alternative

methods of power generation.

In Section 9.3 of the report:

The staff recommends that the Commission

determine that the adverse environmental

impacts of license renewal for HNP, Units 1

and 2 are not so great that preserving the

option of license renewal for energy planning

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This

recommendation is based on (1) the analysis

and findings in the Generic Environmental

Impact Statement for License Renewal of

Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG–1437; (2) the

ER [Environmental Report] submitted by

SNC; (3) consultation with other Federal,

State, and local agencies; (4) the staff’s own

independent review; and (5) the staff’s

consideration of public comments.

The final Supplement 4 to the GEIS is

available electronically for public

inspection in the NRC Public Document

Room located at One White Flint North,

11555 Rockville Pike (first floor),

Rockville, Maryland, or from the

Publicly Available Records (PARS)

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–498 and 50–499]

STP Nuclear Operating Company;

South Texas Project Electric

Generating Station, Units 1 and 2;

Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of exemptions from certain

regulations found in 10 CFR parts 21,

50, and 100 for Facility Operating

License Nos. NPF–76 and NPF–80,

issued to STP Nuclear Operating

Company (STPNOC or the licensee) for

operation of the South Texas Project

Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, (STP)

located in Matagorda County, Texas.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would grant the

licensee relief from certain special

treatment requirements found in Title

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations,

Parts 21, 50, and 100 (10 CFR parts 21,

50 and 100) for certain structures,

systems, and components (SSCs). The

licensee has used a risk-informed

process to categorize SSCs as low safety

significant (LSS) or non-risk significant

(NRS); and other SSCs as medium safety

significant (MSS) or high safety

significant (HSS). The purpose of this

categorization process is to identify

those SSCs for which the special

treatment requirements may be relaxed.

Currently, LSS and NRS SSCs, which

are not as risk significant as MSS and

HSS SSCs, are treated with the same

level of protection. The licensee is

seeking limited exemptions from the

following regulations for just those SSCs

that have been categorized as LSS or

NRS:

1. Requirements for quality assurance

(QA) found in:

a. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix B,

‘‘Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear

Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing

Plants,’’ for QA requirements on SSCs

that are safety-related (with the

exception of the Criterion III, ‘‘Design

Control,’’ Criterion XV,

‘‘Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or

Components,’’ and Criterion XVI,

‘‘Corrective Action’’);

b. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix A,

General Design Criteria (GDC) 1,

‘‘Quality Standards and Records,’’ for

SSCs important to safety that contains

quality assurance program and record

keeping requirements;

c. 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(ii) that requires

the licensee to describe in the Final

Safety Analysis Report how 10 CFR part

50, Appendix B, requirements are being

satisfied;

d. 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) regarding NRC

review and approval of changes to the

QA program that result in a reduction in

commitments in the program

description as accepted by the NRC for

LSS and NRS SSC program descriptions;

and,

e. 10 CFR 21.3 defining the term

‘‘basic component’’ that includes safetyrelated LSS and NRS SSCs and impose

10 CFR part 21 requirements for

procurement, dedication, and reporting.

2. Requirements for environmental

qualification (EQ) found in:

a. 10 CFR 50.49(b) that defines the

scope of electric components important

to safety subject to the EQ program

requirements of 10 CFR 50.49;

b. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix A, GDC

2, ‘‘Design Bases for Protection Against

Natural Phenomena,’’ for tests and

inspections to demonstrate that SSCs

important to safety are designed to

withstand the effects of natural

phenomena without loss of capability to

perform their safety functions;

c. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix A, GDC

4, ‘‘Environmental and Dynamic Effects

Design Bases,’’ for tests and inspections

to demonstrate that SSCs important to

safety are able to withstand

environmental conditions of normal

operation, maintenance, testing, and

postulated accidents; and,

d. 10 CFR part 100, Appendix A,

Sections VI(a)(1) and (a)(2) for testing

and inspection to demonstrate that SSCs

within the scope of these regulations1

are designed to remain functional

during a safe-shutdown earthquake and

operating-basis earthquake, respectively,

and 10 CFR 50.34(b)(10) and 10 CFR

50.34(b)(11) to the extent that they

reference the 10 CFR part 100,

Appendix A, criteria, discussed above.

3. Requirements for testing and

inspection found in:

a. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix A, GDC

18, ‘‘Inspection and Testing of Electric

Power Systems,’’ that requires SSCs

important to safety be designed to

permit inspection and testing; and

b. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix J, Option

B, section III.B, ‘‘Type B and C Tests,’’

that requires Type C containment
