DPR–24 and DPR–27, issued to Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC), the licensee, for operation of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, located in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is issuing this environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact. PO 00000 Frm 00145 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30819 Environmental Assessment Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would exempt 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.1.a as it applies to the PBNP, Unit 1 auxiliary and turbine buildings; and the PBNP, Unit 2 auxiliary and turbine buildings, and the control building. The exemption requested is from the requirement that, ‘‘one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown from either the control room or emergency control station(s) is free of fire damage,’’ as it applies to the PBNP, Unit 1 auxiliary and turbine buildings; the PBNP, Unit 2 auxiliary and turbine buildings, and the control building. Specifically, NMC has asked for a repair consisting of powering a dedicated air compressor from one of two preplanned 480 volt power sources using pre-staged power cords and connecting the air compressor to nitrogen bottle manifolds on one or both reactor units using pre-staged pneumatic hose with quick connect fittings. The repair would be required no earlier than 8 hours into an event in which instrument air is disabled. The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee’s application dated March 5, 2004, as supplemented by letter dated November 8, 2004. The Need for the Proposed Action Appendix R, Section Ill.G.1.a of 10 CFR Part 50 requires that, ‘‘one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the control room or emergency control station(s) is free of fire damage.’’ Appendix R, Section Ill.L.1 of 10 CFR Part 50 requires that an alternative or dedicated shutdown capability shall be able to, among other things, ‘‘(c) achieve and maintain hot standby conditions for a pressurized water reactor (PWR)’’; and ‘‘(d) achieve cold shutdown conditions within 72 hours.’’ NRC Inspection Report 50–266/2003–007; 50–301/2003– 007, dated February 4, 2004, documents a Non-Cited Violation of Appendix R, Section III.L.1.c, in that NMC, ‘‘failed to ensure, without the need for ’hot standby repairs,’ adequate control air to the speed controllers for the charging pumps during a postulated fire requiring an alternative shutdown method.’’ The installed backup nitrogen gas bottle bank (for the charging pump speed controllers) meets the requirements of the regulation, with the exception that it is of limited capacity. This means that the hot shutdown conditions could not be maintained indefinitely while relying only on the installed bottle bank. However, the 8 to 14 hour capacity of the bottle banks is E:\FR\FM\27MYN1.SGM 27MYN1
