NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–266 & 50–301]
Nuclear Management Company, LLC;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–
24 and DPR–27, issued to Nuclear
Management Company, LLC (NMC or
the licensee), for operation of the Point
Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1
and 2 located in Two Rivers, WI.
The proposed amendment would alter
the PBNP Final Safety Analysis Report
(FSAR) to include a reactor vessel head
drop event.
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.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, the licensee
may file a request for a hearing with
respect to issuance of the amendment to
the subject facility operating license and
any person whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding and who
wishes to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for a hearing and a petition for leave to
intervene. 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 persons 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 01F21, 11555 Rockville
Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.

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/requestor 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 petitioner/
requestor 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 petitioner/requestor 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 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/requestor to relief.
A petitioner/requestor 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

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Proposed Generic Communication;
Clarification of Post-Fire SafeShutdown Circuit Regulatory
Requirements
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public
comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is proposing to issue
a regulatory information summary (RIS)
to clarify regulatory requirement issues
associated with post-fire safe-shutdown
circuit analyses and protection,
particularly the requirements of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part
50 (10 CFR 50), Appendix R, which
have been interpreted by licensees in a
manner that is not consistent with
regulatory expectations. The industry
and NRC regional inspectors have
requested clarification of regulatory
expectations with respect to post-fire
safe-shutdown circuits. In addition,
clarification of these requirements will
assist licensees in evaluating the
transition to a risk-informed,
performance-based fire protection
program.
Three terms are to be addressed in
this RIS: ‘‘any-and-all’’ (with respect to
spurious actuations), ‘‘associated
circuits,’’ and ‘‘emergency control
station.’’ Clarification of the term ‘‘oneat-a-time’’ (with respect to spurious
actuations) will be provided in a
separate generic communication. For
each term addressed, this RIS identifies
the applicable NRC regulatory
requirement, provides the regulatory
expectation with respect to the
requirement, and specifies one
acceptable approach to achieving
regulatory compliance.
Attachment 1 to this RIS provides
additional discussion that explains the
basis for the regulatory expectations,
including a discussion of the various
ways in which each term or phrase has
been interpreted by stakeholders.
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This RIS also gives the staff’s views
on the use of Nuclear Energy Institute
(NEI) guidance document NEI 00–01,
‘‘Guidance for Post-Fire Safe Shutdown
Circuit Analysis,’’ Revision 1
(ML050310295), in complying with
Appendix R. The deterministic
methodology presented in NEI 00–01, in
conjunction with the guidance in this
RIS, is one acceptable approach to
achieving regulatory compliance with
post-fire safe-shutdown circuit
protection requirements. Note that RIS
2004–03, Revision 1, ‘‘Risk-Informed
Approach for Post-Fire Safe-Shutdown
Circuit Inspections’’ (ML042440791)
provides guidance on conducting riskinformed circuit inspections, whereas
this RIS clarifies the regulatory
requirements for compliance with
Appendix R.
This Federal Register notice is
available through the NRC’s
Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS) under
accession number ML051110160.
DATES: Comment period expires July 12,
2005. Comments submitted after this
date will be considered if it is practical
to do so, but assurance of consideration
cannot be given except for comments
received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
to the Chief, Rules and Directives

Services, Office of Administration, U.S.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos.
DPR-24 and DPR-27, issued to Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC or
