NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–423]

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company, et

al.; Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment to Facility

Operating License, Proposed No

Significant Hazards Consideration

Determination, and Opportunity for a

Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. NPF–

49 issued to Northeast Nuclear Energy

Company (the licensee) for operation of

the Millstone Nuclear Power Station,

Unit No. 3, located in New London

County, Connecticut.

The proposed amendment would

revise the Technical Specifications (TS)

for the Overtemperature delta T time

constants in TS Table 2.2–1 and the

Steam Line Pressure Negative Rate High

Steam Line Isolation time constant on

TS Table 3.3–4.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

The Commission has made a

proposed determination that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration. Under

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR

50.92, this means that operation of the

facility in accordance with the proposed

amendment would not (1) involve a

significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from

any accident previously evaluated; or

(3) involve a significant reduction in a

margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its

analysis of the issue of no significant

hazards consideration, which is

presented below:

The proposed changes do not involve a

[significant hazards consideration] SHC

because the changes would not:

1. Involve a significant increase in the

probability or consequence of an accident

previously evaluated.

The proposed Technical Specification

changes will revise the mathematical

notations associated with the time constants

in Tables 2.2–1 and 3.3–4. The proposed

changes do not modify the value of any time

constant.

The proposed changes to Table 2.2–1 will

replace the current equalities with

inequalities in order to indicate the direction

of conservatism for the time constants τ1, τ2,

τ4, τ5 and τ7. These time constants are used
