Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC performed an environmental assessment. Based on the results of the environmental assessment, the NRC is issuing a finding of no significant impact. cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES Environmental Assessment Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would permit exclusion of the main steam (MS) pathway leakage contribution (1) from the overall integrated leakage rate Type A test measurement required by Appendix J, Option B, Section III.A, and (2) from the sum of the leakage rates VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:23 Sep 11, 2009 Jkt 217001 from Type B and Type C test measurements required by Appendix J, Option B, Section III.B. The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee’s application dated October 13, 2008, as supplemented by letters dated April 8, May 29, June 12, and September 1, 2009. The licensee’s application included a corresponding license amendment request, which has been evaluated by the NRC staff separately from the exemption request. The Need for the Proposed Action Paragraph 50.54(o) of 10 CFR Part 50 requires that primary reactor containments for water-cooled power reactors be subject to the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50. Appendix J specifies the leakage test requirements, schedules, and acceptance criteria for tests of the leaktight integrity of the primary reactor containment, and of systems and components which penetrate the containment. Option B, Section III.A requires that the overall integrated leak rate not exceed the allowable leakage (La) with margin, as specified in the Technical Specifications (TSs). The overall integrated leak rate, as specified in the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J definitions, includes the contribution from MS pathway leakage. The MS pathway includes the leakage from the four MS line penetrations plus the leakage from the MS inboard drain line. By letter dated October 30, 2006, and corresponding License Amendment No. 226, dated October 31, 2006, the NRC previously granted the licensee an exemption for the four MS line penetrations from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, Sections III.A and III.B. By letter dated October 13, 2008, the licensee has requested an exemption from Option B, Section III.A, requirements to permit exclusion of the entire MS pathway leakage (the MS line penetrations and the MS inboard drain line leakage) from the overall integrated leak rate test measurement. Option B, Section III.B of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, requires that the sum of the leakage rates of Type B and Type C local leak rate tests be less than the performance criterion (La) with margin, as specified in the TSs. The licensee’s letter also requests an exemption from this requirement, to permit exclusion of the MS pathway contribution to the sum of the Type B and Type C test measurements. The above-cited requirements of Appendix J require that MS pathway leakage measurements be grouped with the leakage measurements of other containment penetrations when PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 containment leakage tests are performed. These requirements are inconsistent with the design of the CNS and the analytical models used to calculate the radiological consequences of design-basis accidents. At CNS, and similar facilities, the leakage from primary containment penetrations, under accident conditions, is collected and treated by the secondary containment system, or would bypass the secondary containment. However, the leakage from the MS pathway is collected and treated via an Alternative Leakage Treatment (ALT) path having different mitigation characteristics. In performing accident analyses, it is appropriate to group various leakage effluents according to the treatment they receive before being released to the environment (i.e., bypass leakage is grouped, leakage into secondary containment is grouped, and ALT leakage is grouped), with specific limits for each group defined in the TSs. The proposed exemption would permit ALT path leakage to be independently grouped with its unique leakage limits. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the environmental impacts would not be significant. The details of the staff’s safety evaluation will be provided in the exemption and corresponding license amendment that will be issued as part of the letters to the licensee approving the exemption to the regulation and the license amendment. The proposed action will not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. No changes are being made in the types of effluents that may be released offsite. There is no significant increase in the amount of any effluent released offsite. There is no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed action does not have any foreseeable impacts to land, air, or water resources, including impacts to biota. In addition, there are no known socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts associated with the proposed action. Therefore, there are no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. Accordingly, the NRC concludes that there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1
