Entergy Operations, Inc.; River Bend 

Station Unit 3 Combined License 

Application; Notice of Cancellation of 

Environmental Scoping Process and 

Public Scoping Meeting 

Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI) on 

behalf of itself; Entergy Louisiana, LLC 

(ELL); Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, 

L.L.C. (EGSL); and Entergy Mississippi, 

Inc. (EMI) has submitted an application 

for a combined license (COL) to build 

Unit 3 at its River Bend Station (RBS) 

site, located on approximately 3,330 

acres in West Feliciana Parish on the 

Mississippi River, approximately three 

miles southeast of St. Francisville, 

Louisiana and 24 miles north-northwest 

of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. EOI 

submitted the application for the COL to 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) on September 25, 

2008, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52. 

A notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement and 

conduct scoping process was published 

in the Federal Register on January 5, 

2009 (74 FR 324). On January 9, 2009, 

EOI submitted a letter to NRC requesting 

that the staff suspend its review of the 

RBS Unit 3 COL application. The 

purpose of this notice is to inform the 

public that the NRC has canceled the 

scoping process and the associated 

scoping meeting for this application.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–414; NRC–2009–0020] 

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 (the Commission) is 

considering issuance of an amendment 

to Facility Operating License No. NPF– 

52 issued to Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC 

(the licensee) for operation of the 

Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 2, located 

in York County, South Carolina. 

The proposed amendment would 

allow a one-time limited duration 

extension of the Technical Specification 

(TS) Surveillance (SR) 3.3.1.4 frequency. 

SR 3.3.1.4 is a Trip Actuating Device 

Operational Test (TADOT) of the reactor 

trip breakers (RTBs) and reactor trip 

bypass breakers. 

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 Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), Section 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. 

The Reactor Trip System (RTS) serves as 

accident mitigation equipment and is not 

required to function unless an accident 

occurs. The reactor trip bypass breakers are 

utilized to support testing of the reactor trip 

breakers (RTBs) while at power. This 

equipment does not affect any accident 

initiators or precursors. The proposed 

extension of the Technical Specification (TS) 

Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.1.4 

Frequency for RTBs does not affect its 

interaction with any system whose failure or 

malfunction could initiate an accident. 

Therefore, the probability of an accident 

previously evaluated is not significantly 

increased. 

The risk evaluation performed in support 

of this amendment request demonstrates that 

the consequences of an accident are not 

significantly increased. As such, the 

proposed change does not involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated. 

2. Does the proposed amendment create 

the possibility of a new or different kind 

of accident from any previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

This change does not create the possibility 

of a new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated. No new 

accident causal mechanisms are created as a 

result of the NRC granting of this proposed 

change. No changes are being made to the 

plant which will introduce any new or 

different accident causal mechanisms. 

3. Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant reduction in the margin of 

safety? 

Response: No. 

Based on the availability of the RTS 

equipment and the low probability of an 

accident, Catawba concludes that the 

proposed extension of the surveillance test 

interval does not result in a significant 

reduction in the margin of safety. The margin 

of safety is related to the confidence in the 

ability of the fission product barriers to 

perform their design functions during and 

following an accident situation. These 

barriers include the fuel cladding, the reactor 

coolant system, and the containment system. 

The performance of these fission product 

barriers will not be significantly impacted by 

the proposed change. The risk implications 

of this request were evaluated and found to 

be acceptable. 

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, Rulemaking, 

Directives and Editing Branch, TWB– 

05–B01M, Division of Administrative 

Services, Office of Administration, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and

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
