SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
50533
issuance of an exemption from § 50.46
of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Acceptance
criteria for emergency core cooling
systems for light-water nuclear power
reactors,’’ and Appendix K to 10 CFR
Part 50, ‘‘ECCS [emergency core cooling
system] Evaluation Models,’’ to allow
the use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod
cladding in future core reload
applications for Millstone Power
Station, Unit 3 (MPS3), for Renewed
Facility Operating License No. NPF–49
Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.
(DNC or the licensee), for operation of
MPS3 located in the town of Waterford,
CT. 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.
II. Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would add
Optimized ZIRLOTM as an acceptable
fuel rod cladding material. The
proposed action is in accordance with
the licensee’s application dated
November 17, 2011, under ADAMS
Accession No. ML11329A003.
The Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed action is needed
because the regulation in 10 CFR 50.46
contains acceptance criteria for the
ECCS for reactors that have fuel rods
fabricated either with Zircaloy or
ZIRLOTM. Appendix K to 10 CFR Part
50, paragraph I.A.5, requires the BakerJust equation to be used to predict the
rates of energy release, hydrogen
concentration, and cladding oxidation
for the metal-water reaction. The BakerJust equation assumed the use of a
zirconium alloy different than
Optimized ZIRLOTM; therefore, an
exemption is required.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC has completed its evaluation
of the proposed action and concludes
that the exemption does not present
undue risk to public health and safety,
and is consistent with common defense
and security.
The details of the staff’s safety
evaluation will be provided in the
license amendment that will be issued
as part of the letter to the licensee
approving the license amendment to the
regulation.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequences of accidents. No changes
are being made in the types of effluents
