Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The proposed exemption would not

adversely affect the response

capabilities of the licensee and

governmental agencies. The most recent

DCPP offsite exercise was conducted in

1993, and there were no issues

identified which required immediate

corrective actions. The Federal

Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA), by letter dated March 2, 1995,

informed the NRC that such a schedule

change would have no adverse

implications on public health and

safety. The Commission has completed

its evaluation of the proposed action

and concludes that the intent of

Appendix E, Section IV.F.3 to ensure

site emergency preparedness is

maintained is met. Therefore, the

change will not increase the probability

or consequences of accidents, no

changes are being made in the types or

amounts 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 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 staff considered

denial of the proposed action. Denial of

the application would result in no

change in current environmental

impacts and would result in a hardship

to the State of California. 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 Diablo Canyon Nuclear

Power Plant, Units Nos. 1 and 2.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 27, 1995, the staff consulted

with the California State official, Mr.

Steve Hsu of the Department of Health

Services, 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 October 16, 1994, 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

California Polytechnic State University,

[Docket No. 50–341]

Detroit Edison Co.; Notice of Partial

Denial of Amendment to Facility

Operating License and Opportunity for

Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

partially denied a request by Detroit

Edison Company, (license) for an

amendment to Facility Operating

License No. NPF–43 issued to the

licensee for operation of Fermi 2,

located in Frenchtown Township,

Monroe County, Michigan. Notice of

Consideration of Issuance of this

amendment was published in the

Federal Register on August 18, 1993 (58

FR 43925).

The purpose of the licensee’s

amendment request was to revise the

Technical Specifications (TS) to allow

use of an updated laboratory testing

standard for surveillance testing of

representative charcoal samples from

the control room emergency filtration

system (CREFS) and the standby gas

treatment system. Additionally, the

CREFS ACTION STATEMENTS were to

be revised to remove restrictions on

CORE ALTERATIONS and handling of

irradiated fuel in the secondary

containment when the CREFS is

inoperable under certain conditions.

The NRC staff has concluded that the

licensee’s request cannot be fully

granted. The licensee was notified of the

Commission’s denial of the proposed

change by a letter dated March 31, 1995.

By May 11, 1995, the licensee may

demand a hearing with respect to the

denial described above. Any person

whose interest may be affected by this

proceeding may file a written petition

for leave to intervene.

A request for hearing or petition for

leave to intervene must be filed with the

Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, Attention:

Docketing and Services Branch, or may

be delivered to the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC by

the above date.

A copy of any petitions should also be

sent to the Office of the General

Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555,

and to John Flynn, Esq., Detroit Edison

Company, 2000 Second Avenue, Detroit,

Michigan 48266, attorney for the

licensee.

For further details with respect to this

action, see (1) the application for

amendment dated July 29, 1993, as

supplemented October 8, 1993, and (2)

the Commission’s letter to the licensee

dated March 31, 1995.

These documents are available for

public inspection at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC 20555 and at the

Monroe County Library System, 3700

South Custer Road, Monroe, Michigan

obtained upon written request

addressed to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

Desk.
