NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-336]
Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 265 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-65 issued to
Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., (the licensee), which revised the
Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for operation of the Millstone
Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 2, (MP2), located in New London County,
Connecticut. The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendment modified the MP2 FSAR, Chapter 14, description of the
Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) event and its associated
radiological dose consequences. The changes are not the result of
hardware changes to the plant or changes in operating practices.
Rather, the changes are the result of incorporating a postulated loss
of offsite power into the event analyses as well as revised assumptions
and analysis methodology. The FSAR changes show that the postulated
dose consequences for the updated SGTR analysis are higher than the
dose consequences for the previous analysis. However, the updated dose
consequences are less than the dose guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100,
Reactor Site Criteria, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design
Criterion (GDC) 19, Control Room.
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 April 23, 2001 (66 FR
20485). 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 (67 FR
18044).
Further details with respect to the action see (1) the application
for amendment dated December 21, 2000, as supplemented June 29, 2001,
(2) Amendment No. 265 to License No. DPR-65, (3) the Commission's
related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the Commission's Environmental
Assessment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
