NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–247]

Consolidated Edison Co. of New York,

Inc., Indian Point Nuclear Generating

Unit No. 2; 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.

DPR–26, issued to Consolidated Edison

Company of New York, Inc. (the

licensee), for operation of the Indian

Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2

(IP2) located in Westchester County,

New York.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

This Environmental Assessment has

been prepared to address potential

environmental issues related to the

licensee’s application of September 19,
12788 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 8, 1995 / Notices

1994, as supplemented on January 13,

1995, and February 3, 1995. The

proposed action would exempt the

licensee from the requirements of 10

CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Paragraph

III.D.1.(a), to the extent that a one-time

interval extension for the Type A test

(containment integrated leak rate test)

by approximately 24 months from the

February 1995 refueling outage to the

February 1997 refueling outage would

be granted.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to

permit the licensee to defer the Type A

test from the February 1995 refueling

outage, to the February 1997 refueling

outage, thereby saving the cost of

performing the test and eliminating the

test period from the critical path time of

the outage.

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. The licensee has

analyzed the results of previous Type A

tests performed at IP2 to show good

containment performance and will

continue to be required to 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 the

licensee, as a condition of the proposed

exemption, 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 NRC

staff also notes that the IP2 Containment

Penetration and Weld Channel

Pressurization System provides a means

for continuously monitoring potential

containment leakage paths during

power operation. 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 does involve 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.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement for the Indian Point Nuclear

Generating Unit No. 2.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

the NRC staff consulted with the New

York State official regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The State official 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 the licensee’s letter

dated September 19, 1994, as

supplemented by letters dated January

13, 1995, and February 3, 1995, which

are 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

White Plains Public Library, 100

Martine Avenue, White Plains, New

York 10610

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day

of March 1995.

[Docket No. 50–344]

Portland General Electric Co., Receipt

of Decommissioning Plan and

Decommissioning Environmental

Report and Opportunity for Public

Comments; Trojan Nuclear Power

Plant

By letter January 26, 1995, Portland

General Electric Company (PGE or the

licensee) submitted the

Decommissioning Plan and a

supplement to the Environmental

Report describing the decommissioning

of the Trojan Nuclear Plant (Trojan or

the plant). The licensee is the holder of

Facility Operating License No. NFP–1

that was issued on November 21, 1975.

The permanently shut down nuclear

plant is located on the west shore of the

Columbia River in Columbia County,

Oregon.

Pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.82(e) the

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC) is providing this notice to

interested persons prior to approval of

the Decommissioning Plan. The

Decommissioning Plan does not contain

any requests for amendments to the

Trojan Operating License. Therefore, an

opportunity for a hearing under 10 CFR

part 2 of Commission regulations, is not

being offered by this notice. Should the

Commission determine that a license

amendment is necessary in connection

with the proposed Decommissioning

Plan, that action will be noticed

separately.

Interested persons are invited to

submit written comments or questions

on the Decommissioning Plan or

Environmental Report. Any written

comments should be limited to the

contents of the Decommissioning Plan

and Environmental Report.

The staff will review and consider all

comments that are received before

taking final action on the proposed

Decommissioning Plan. Written

comments should be submitted within

120 days of the publication date of this

notice and addressed to: Michael T.

Masnik, Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

In addition, the NRC is planning to

hold a joint public meeting with the

Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE)

on Wednesday, March 29, 1995, at the

St. Helens High School, U.S. Highway
