(Entergy or the licensee) is the holder of Facility Operating License No. DPR–28, which authorizes operation of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of a boiling-water reactor located in Windham County, Vermont. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.48, requires that nuclear power plants that were licensed before January 1, 1979, of which VY is one, must satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2, which requires to have a minimum of 20 feet separation between redundant cable trays. In an NRC letter dated December 1, 1986, the NRC granted the licensee the exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2, which in part permitted a reduction in minimum separation distance between cable trays in the northwest corner of Fire Zone RB–3 of the reactor building to 18 feet. VY has identified that the actual minimum physical separation distance between the cable trays is actually 17 feet–7.5 inches. In summary, the letter dated July 11, 2008, Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number ML082030154, as supplemented on November 20, 2008, PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ADAMS accession number ML083370180, Entergy on behalf of VY, requested a revision to the exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2, dated December 1, 1986 (ML011620492), which in part permitted a reduction in minimum separation distance between cable trays in the northwest corner of Fire Zone RB–3 of the Reactor Building to 18 feet. VY has requested a revision of the existing exemption to permit the actual minimum separation distance of 17 feet–7.5 inches. 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1) the exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to public health or safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and (2) when special circumstances are present. One of these special circumstances, described in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), is that the application of the regulation is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. The underlying purpose of Subsection III.G.2 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, is to ensure that one of the redundant trains necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions remains free of fire damage in the event of a fire. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s evaluation in support of the subject exemption request and concludes that the further reduction in minimum separation distance is sufficient to maintain an adequate level of safety to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) in that the application of the regulation is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. Authorized by Law This exemption would permit a reduced minimum separation distance of 17 feet–7.5 inches, instead of ‘‘more than 20 feet’’ between cable trays in Fire Zone RB–3, elevation 252 feet, provided all other passive and active forms of protection (e.g., lack of combustible fuel loading or fire hazards, fire detectors and automatic fire suppression system) are provided and maintained in accordance with III.G.2. As stated above, 10 CFR 50.12 allows the NRC to grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC staff has determined that granting of the licensee’s proposed exemption will not result in a violation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM 27MRN1
