To begin the search, select ‘‘ADAMS Public Documents’’ and then select ‘‘Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.’’ For problems with ADAMS, please contact the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, 301–415–4737, or by email to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. The ADAMS accession number for each document referenced in this notice (if that document is available in ADAMS) is provided the first time that a document is referenced.

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 E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1
