NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-331]
Nuclear Management Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Amendment
to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 243 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 issued to
Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the
Operating License and Technical Specifications (TS) for operation of
the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) located in Linn County, Iowa. The
[[Page 57116]]
amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendment modified the Operating License and TS to allow an
increase of the authorized operating power level from 1658 megawatts
thermal (MWt) to 1912 MWt at DAEC. The change represents an increase of
15.3 percent above the current rated thermal power and is considered an
extended power uprate.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this
action was published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2001 (66
FR 49426). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene
was filed following this notice.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (66 FR
55703).
