NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–269, 50–270, and 50–287; 

NRC–2010–0334] 

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; 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 (NRC, the Commission) is 

considering issuance of an amendment 

to Renewed Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–38, DPR–47, and DPR–55 

issued to Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC 

(the licensee) for operation of the 

Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 

3, (ONS) located in Oconee County, 

South Carolina. 

The proposed amendment would 

approve the transition of the fire 

protection licensing basis at ONS from 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.48(b) to 

10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA) 805. 

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: 

(1) Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

Operation of ONS in accordance with the 

proposed amendment does not increase the 

probability or consequences of accidents 

previously evaluated. The Updated Final 

Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) documents 

the analyses of design basis accidents (DBA) 

at ONS. The proposed amendment does not 

adversely affect accident initiators nor alter 

design assumptions, conditions, or 

configurations of the facility and does not 

adversely affect the ability of structures, 

systems, and components (SSCs) to perform 

their design function. SSCs required to safely 

shut down the reactor and to maintain it in 

a safe shutdown (SSD) condition will remain 

capable of performing their design functions. 

The purpose of this amendment is to 

permit ONS to adopt a new fire protection 

(FP) licensing basis which complies with the 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and 

the guidance in Revision 1 of Regulatory 

Guide (RG) 1.205. The NRC considers that 

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 

805 provides an acceptable methodology and 

performance criteria for licensees to identify 

FP systems and features that are an 

acceptable alternative to the Appendix R FP 

features (69 FR 33536, June 16, 2004). 

Engineering analyses, in accordance with 

NFPA 805, have been performed to 

demonstrate that the risk-informed, 

performance-based (RI–PB) requirements per 

NFPA 805 have been met. 

NFPA 805, taken as a whole, provides an 

acceptable alternative to 10 CFR 50.48(b) and 

satisfies 10 CFR 50.48(a) and General Design 

Criterion (GDC) 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 

Part 50 and meets the underlying intent of 

the NRC’s existing FP regulations and 

guidance, and achieves defense-in-depth 

(DID) and the goals, performance objectives, 

and performance criteria specified in Chapter 

1 of the standard. The small increases in core 

damage frequency associated with this LAR 

submittal are consistent with the 

Commission’s Safety Goal Policy. 

Additionally 10 CFR 50.48(c) allows self 

approval of fire protection program changes 

post-transition. If there are any increases 

post-transition in core damage frequency 

(CDF) or risk, the increase will be small and 

consistent with the intent of the 

Commission’s Safety Goal Policy. 

Based on this, the implementation of this 

amendment does not significantly increase 

the probability of any accident previously 

evaluated. Equipment required to mitigate an 

accident remains capable of performing the 

assumed function. Therefore, the 

consequences of any accident previously 

evaluated are not significantly increased with 

the implementation of this amendment. 

(2) Does the proposed amendment create 

the possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any kind of accident 

previously evaluated? 

Response: No. 

Operation of ONS in accordance with the 

proposed amendment does not create the 

possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated. Any scenario or previously 

analyzed accident with offsite dose was 

included in the evaluation of DBAs 

documented in the UFSAR. The proposed 

change does not alter the requirements or 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
66396 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2010 / Notices 

function for systems required during accident 

conditions. Implementation of the new FP 

licensing basis which complies with the 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and 

the guidance in Revision 1 of RG 1.205 will 

not result in new or different accidents. 

The proposed amendment does not 

adversely affect accident initiators nor alter 

design assumptions, conditions, or 

configurations of the facility. The proposed 

amendment does not adversely affect the 

ability of SSCs to perform their design 

function. SSCs required to safely shut down 

the reactor and maintain it in a safe 

shutdown condition remain capable of 

performing their design functions. 

The purpose of this amendment is to 

permit ONS to adopt a new FP licensing 

basis which complies with the requirements 

in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance 

in Revision 1 of RG 1.205. The NRC 

considers that NFPA 805 provides an 

acceptable methodology and performance 

criteria for licensees to identify FP systems 

and features that are an acceptable alternative 

to the Appendix R FP features (69 FR 33536, 

June 16, 2004). 

The requirements in NFPA 805 address 

only FP and the impacts of fire on the plant 

have already been evaluated. Based on this, 

the implementation of this amendment does 

not create the possibility of a new or different 

kind of accident from any kind of accident 

previously evaluated. The proposed changes 

do not involve new failure mechanisms or 

malfunctions that can initiate a new accident. 

Therefore, the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any kind of 

accident previously evaluated is not created 

with the implementation of this amendment. 

(3) Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant reduction in the margin of 

safety? 

Response: No. 

Operation of ONS in accordance with the 

proposed amendment does not involve a 

significant reduction in the margin of safety. 

The proposed amendment does not alter the 

manner in which safety limits, limiting safety 

system settings or limiting conditions for 

operation are determined. The safety analysis 

acceptance criteria are not affected by this 

change. The proposed amendment does not 

adversely affect existing plant safety margins 

or the reliability of equipment assumed to 

mitigate accidents in the UFSAR. The 

proposed amendment does not adversely 

affect the ability of SSCs to perform their 

design function. SSCs required to safely shut 

down the reactor and to maintain it in a safe 

shutdown condition remain capable of 

performing their design functions. 

The purpose of this amendment is to 

permit ONS to adopt a new FP licensing 

basis which complies with the requirements 

in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance 

in Revision 1 of RG 1.205. The NRC 

considers that NFPA 805 provides an 

acceptable methodology and performance 

criteria for licensees to identify FP systems 

and features that are an acceptable alternative 

to the Appendix R FP features (69 FR 33536, 

June 16, 2004). Engineering analyses, which 

may include engineering evaluations, 

probabilistic safety assessments, and fire 

modeling calculations, have been performed 

to demonstrate that the performance-based 

methods do not result in a significant 

reduction in the margin of safety. 

Based on this, the implementation of this 

amendment does not significantly reduce the 

margin of safety. The proposed changes are 

evaluated to ensure that risk and safety 

margins are kept within acceptable limits. 

Therefore, the transition does not involve a 

significant reduction in the margin of safety. 

NFPA 805 continues to protect public 

health and safety and the common defense 

and security because the overall approach of 

NFPA 805 is consistent with the key 

principles for evaluating license basis 

changes, as described in RG 1.174, is 

consistent with the defense-in-depth 

philosophy, and maintains sufficient safety 

margins. 

Margins previously established for the 

ONS FP program in accordance with 10 CFR 

50.48(b) and Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 are 

not significantly reduced. Therefore, this 

LAR does not result in a reduction in a 

margin of safety 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s analysis and, based on this 

review, it appears that the three 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are 

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff 

proposes to determine that the 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on this proposed 

determination. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determination. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before expiration of the 60- 

day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration. In addition, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

prior to the expiration of the 30-day 

comment period should circumstances 

change during the 30-day comment 

period such that failure to act in a 

timely way would result, for example, 

in derating or shutdown of the facility. 

Should the Commission take action 

prior to the expiration of either the 

comment period or the notice period, it 

will publish in the Federal Register a 

notice of issuance. Should the 

Commission make a final No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

any hearing will take place after 

issuance. The Commission expects that 

the need to take this action will occur 

very infrequently. 

Written comments may be submitted 

by mail to the Chief, Rules, 

Announcements and Directives Branch 

(RADB), TWB–05–B01M, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, and should cite the publication 

date and page number of this Federal 

Register notice. Written comments may 

also be faxed to the RADB at 301–492– 

3446. Documents may be examined, 

and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland. 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person(s) 

whose interest may be affected by this 

action may file a request for a hearing 

and a petition to intervene with respect 

to issuance of the amendment to the 

subject facility operating license. 

Requests for a hearing and a petition for 

leave to intervene shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic 

Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10 CFR part 

2. Interested person(s) should consult a 

current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is 

available at the Commission’s PDR, 

located at One White Flint North, Public 

File Area O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike 

(first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 

Publicly available records will be 

accessible from the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System’s (ADAMS) Public Electronic 

Reading Room on the Internet at the 

NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a 

request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene is filed by the above 

date, the Commission or a presiding 

officer designated by the Commission or 

by the Chief Administrative Judge of the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel, will rule on the request and/or 

petition; and the Secretary or the Chief 

Administrative Judge of the Atomic 

Safety and Licensing Board will issue a 

notice of a hearing or an appropriate 

Order. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a 

petition for leave to intervene shall set 

forth with particularity the interest of 

the petitioner in the proceeding, and 

how that interest may be affected by the 

results of the proceeding. The petition 

should specifically explain the reasons 

why intervention should be permitted 

with particular reference to the 

following general requirements: (1) The 

name, address and telephone number of 

the requestor or petitioner; (2) the 

nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s 

right under the Act to be made a party 

to the proceeding; (3) the nature and 

extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s 

property, financial, or other interest in 

the proceeding; and (4) the possible

effect of any decision or order which 

may be entered in the proceeding on the 

requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The 

petition must also identify the specific 

contentions which the requestor/ 

petitioner seeks to have litigated at the 

proceeding. 

Each contention must consist of a 

specific statement of the issue of law or 

fact to be raised or controverted. In 

addition, the requestor/petitioner shall 

provide a brief explanation of the bases 

for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion which support the contention 

and on which the petitioner intends to 

rely in proving the contention at the 

hearing. The requestor/petitioner must 

also provide references to those specific 

sources and documents of which the 

petitioner is aware and on which the 

petitioner intends to rely to establish 

those facts or expert opinion. The 

petition must include sufficient 

information to show that a genuine 

dispute exists with the applicant on a 

material issue of law or fact. 

Contentions shall be limited to matters 

within the scope of the amendment 

under consideration. The contention 

must be one which, if proven, would 

entitle the petitioner to relief. A 

requestor/petitioner who fails to satisfy 

these requirements with respect to at 

least one contention will not be 

permitted to participate as a party. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene, and have the opportunity to 

participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing. 

If a hearing is requested, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration. The 

final determination will serve to decide 

when the hearing is held. If the final 

determination is that the amendment 

request involves no significant hazards 

consideration, the Commission may 

issue the amendment and make it 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the request for a hearing. Any hearing 

held would take place after issuance of 

the amendment. If the final 

determination is that the amendment 

request involves a significant hazards 

consideration, any hearing held would 

take place before the issuance of any 

amendment. 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

request for hearing, a petition for leave 

to intervene, any motion or other 

document filed in the proceeding prior 

to the submission of a request for 

hearing or petition to intervene, and 

documents filed by interested 

governmental entities participating 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in 

accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule 

(72 FR 49139, August 28, 2007). The EFiling process requires participants to 

submit and serve all adjudicatory 

documents over the internet, or in some 

cases to mail copies on electronic 

storage media. Participants may not 

submit paper copies of their filings 

unless they seek an exemption in 

accordance with the procedures 

described below. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least ten 

(10) days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by e-mail at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at (301) 415–1677, to request (1) a 

digital ID certificate, which allows the 

participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

documents and access the E-Submittal 

server for any proceeding in which it is 

participating; and 

(2) advise the Secretary that the 

participant will be submitting a request 

or petition for hearing (even in instances 

in which the participant, or its counsel 

or representative, already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon 

this information, the Secretary will 

establish an electronic docket for the 

hearing in this proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on 

NRC’s public Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

apply-certificates.html. System 

requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are detailed in NRC’s 

‘‘Guidance for Electronic Submission,’’ 

which is available on the agency’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants 

may attempt to use other software not 

listed on the Web site, but should note 

that the NRC’s E-Filing system does not 

support unlisted software, and the NRC 

Meta System Help Desk will not be able 

to offer assistance in using unlisted 

software. 

If a participant is electronically 

submitting a document to the NRC in 

accordance with the E-Filing rule, the 

participant must file the document 

using the NRC’s online, Web-based 

submission form. In order to serve 

documents through EIE, users will be 

required to install a Web browser plugin from the NRC Web site. Further 

information on the Web-based 

submission form, including the 

installation of the Web browser plug-in, 

is available on the NRC’s public Web 

site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate and a docket has 

been created, the participant can then 

submit a request for hearing or petition 

for leave to intervene. Submissions 

should be in Portable Document Format 

(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC public Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the documents are 

submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing 

system. To be timely, an electronic 

filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 

system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Time on the due date. Upon receipt of 

a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an e-mail notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing request/ 

petition to intervene is filed so that they 

can obtain access to the document via 

the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the agency’s adjudicatory E-Filing 

system may seek assistance by 

contacting the NRC Meta System Help 

Desk through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link 

located on the NRC Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by e-mail at 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at (866) 672–7640. The NRC 

Meta System Help Desk is available 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing requesting authorization to 

continue to submit documents in paper 

format. Such filings must be submitted 

by: (1) First class mail addressed to the 

Office of the Secretary of the 

Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in 

the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 

expedited delivery service upon 

depositing the document with the 

provider of the service. A presiding 

officer, having granted an exemption 

request from using E-Filing, may require 

a participant or party to use E-Filing if 

the presiding officer subsequently 

determines that the reason for granting 

the exemption from use of E-Filing no 

longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http:// 

ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, 

unless excluded pursuant to an order of 

the Commission, or the presiding 

officer. Participants are requested not to 

include personal privacy information, 

such as social security numbers, home 

addresses, or home phone numbers in 

their filings, unless an NRC regulation 

or other law requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants are requested not to include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

Petitions for leave to intervene must 

be filed no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. Nontimely filings will not be entertained 

absent a determination by the presiding 

officer that the petition or request 

should be granted or the contentions 

should be admitted, based on a 

balancing of the factors specified in 10 

CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii).
