NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Virginia Electric and Power Company
(Dominion); Surry Power Station, Unit
Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of Consideration
of Issuance of Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses, Proposed No
Significant Hazards Consideration
Determination, and Opportunity for a
Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of amendments to
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–32
and DPR–37, issued to Virginia Electric
and Power Company (the licensee), for
operation of the Surry Power Station,
Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Surry
County, Virginia.
The proposed amendments would
add a requirement to Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, (10 CFR)
part 50 license to restrict the minimum
cooling time and burnup of spent fuel
assemblies that will be placed into
storage in the NUHOMS HD spent fuel
dry storage system at Surry 1 and 2
starting in the summer of 2006.
Specifically, the proposed amendments
would add Figure 5.4–2 to the Technical
Specifications (TSs) to ensure that the
NUHOMS HD canister remains
subcritical during operations in the
Surry 1 and 2 spent fuel pool.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendments, 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
amendments request involve no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR
part 50, § 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) The probability of occurrence or the
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated is not significantly increased.
Operation under 10 CFR 50.68 for use of
the NUHOMS HD system and
implementation of additional requirements
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on the cooling time and burnup of fuel that
is to be loaded into the NUHOMS HD 32PTH
DSC [Dry Shielded Canister] will not require
any physical changes to Part 50 structures,
systems, or components, nor will there be
any changes to the performance requirements
of existing structures, systems, or
components. Handling of spent fuel storage
casks has previously been evaluated for
Surry. When older cask designs stored under
the Surry ISFSI [Independent Spent Fuel
Storage Installation] site specific license are
returned to the station, they will be handled
and controlled in the same manner as the
initial loading and movement of these casks.
The response of the plant to previously
analyzed Part 50 accidents is not adversely
impacted, and current analyses of
radiological releases, including those for the
fuel handling accident, will continue to
bound activities related to spent fuel cask
loading, handling, and storage.
(2) The possibility of a new or different
kind of accident from any accident
previously evaluated is not created.
Neither fuel handling nor the loading and
handling of the NUHOMS HD 32PTH DSC
will be affected by operation under 10 CFR
50.68(b) or by placing additional constraints
on selection of fuel to be stored in the DSC.
When older cask designs stored under the
Surry ISFSI site specific license are returned
to the station, they will be handled and
controlled in the same manner as the initial
loading and movement of these casks. The
existing process used to ensure that fuel
assemblies selected for dry storage comply
with the specific cask and ISFSI licensing
requirements will be used to select the fuel
assemblies to be placed in the NUHOMS HD
32PTH DSC. The requirements of the
proposed new Technical Specification will
only represent additional limitations that
must be considered during this selection
process.
(3) There is not a significant reduction in
a margin of safety.
The Code of Federal Regulations identifies
compliance with 10 CFR 50.68(b) as an
acceptable alternative to compliance with 10
CFR 70.24. The emphasis of 10 CFR 70.24 is
on detection of criticality events, while the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.68(b) emphasize
prevention of inadvertent criticality events.
Operation under 10 CFR 50.68(b) is therefore
preferable to ensure that Surry complies with
the intent of General Design Criterion 62,
which specifically directs that criticality
should be prevented during fuel storage and
handling. The existing criticality limits for
the Surry Spent Fuel Pool and New Fuel
Storage Area will be maintained. The
NUHOMS HD spent fuel storage system is
currently under review for general licensing,
and has been shown to comply with the
criticality requirements identified in 10 CFR
part 72. Compliance with the proposed Surry
Technical Specification will further ensure
that the system remains safely subcritical
during all handling and storage operations
(e.g., load, unloading, handling,
decontamination, etc.) that are conducted at
the station prior to transfer of the DSC to the
ISFSI, even under the more restrictive
condition of assuming the DSC is fully
loaded with fuel of the maximum allowable
