NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–416]

Entergy Operations, Inc.;

Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an exemption

from certain requirements of its

regulations to Facility Operating License

No. NPF–29, issued to Entergy

Operations, Inc. (the licensee), for

operation of the Grand Gulf Nuclear

Station, Unit 1 (GGNS), located in

Claiborne County, Mississippi.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of Proposed Action

The proposed action is in accordance

with the licensee’s application dated

August 13, 1993, as supplemented by

letters dated April 15, May 11, June 24,

and July 20, 1994, pursuant to 10 CFR

50.12(a), which would exempt Entergy

Operations Inc. from Sections III.D.1(a),

III.D.2, III.D.2(b)(i), III.D.2.(b)(iii) and

III.D.3 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J,

to permit the selection of containment

leakage rate testing intervals for

components on the basis of

performance.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to

permit the licensee to defer a portion of

the Type B and C tests from the April

1995 and September 1996 refueling

outages to the April 1998 refueling

outage, thereby reducing the

occupational radiation exposure

received by the plant staff, saving the

cost of performing the test, and

eliminating the test period from the

critical path time of the outage.

Without this exemption, the licensee

would incur additional personnel

radiation exposure during system

reconfigurations, and instrumentation

setup and restoration.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has completed its

evaluation of the proposed action and

concludes that the proposed exemption

would not increase the probability or

consequences of accidents previously

analyzed and the proposed exemption

would not affect facility radiation levels

or facility radiological effluents. 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 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.

Alternative 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. 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

Statements related to operation of Grand

Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 30, 1995 the staff consulted

with the Mississippi State official, Mr.

Eddie Fuente of the Mississippi State

Department of Health, 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 this

action, see the request for exemption

dated August 13, 1993, as supplemented

by letters dated April 15, May 11, June

24, and July 20, 1994, 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

Judge George W. Armstrong Library, 220

S. Commerce Street, Natchez,

Mississippi 39120.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 6th day

of April 1995.
