AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) prepared under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and NRC’s regulations. This EA summarizes the results of the NRC staff’s environmental review, which evaluates the potential environmental impacts of granting exemptions from NRC regulations in response to a request from STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC, the licensee) for Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–76 and NPF–80, for South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2, respectively, located in Matagorda County, Texas. The regulatory exemptions, if granted, allow STPNOC to change the licensing basis loss-of-coolant accident analysis identified in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report to use a risk-informed approach to address safety issues discussed in Generic Safety Issue (GSI)– 191 and to close Generic Letter (GL) 2004–02.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction and Background The NRC is considering a request to grant certain regulatory exemptions for Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–76 and NPF–80, issued to STPNOC for operation of STP, Units 1 and 2, located in Matagorda County, Texas, in accordance with section 50.12, ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit.’’ The regulatory exemptions would allow STPNOC to resolve concerns associated with GSI–191, ‘‘Assessment of Debris Accumulation on PWR [Pressurized-Water Reactor] Sump Performance,’’ and the associated GL 2004–02, ‘‘Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation during Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors,’’ issued on September 13, 2004. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, ‘‘Criteria for and identification of licensing and PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments,’’ the NRC has prepared an EA summarizing the findings of its NEPA review of the proposed action. The NRC concluded that the proposed action will have no significant environmental impact. The NRC published a draft EA on the proposed action for public comment in the Federal Register on May 4, 2016 (81 FR 26838) (ADAMS Accession No. ML16032A387). No comments were received. Background The NRC established GSI–191 to determine whether the transport and accumulation of debris from a loss-ofcoolant accident in the PWR containment structure would impede the operation of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) or containment spray system (CSS). A loss-of-coolant accident within the containment structure is assumed to be caused by a break in the primary coolant loop piping. Water discharged from the pipe break would collect on the containment structure floor and within the containment emergency sump. During this type of accident, the ECCS and CSS would initially draw cooling water from the refueling water storage tank. However, realigning the ECCS pumps to the containment structure emergency sump would provide long-term cooling of the reactor core. Therefore, successful long-term cooling depends on the ability of the containment structure emergency sump to provide adequate flow to the residual heat removal recirculation pumps for extended periods of time. One of the concerns addressed by the implementation of GSI–191 is that debris, such as insulation installed on piping and components, within the containment structure could be dislodged by a jet of water and steam from a loss-of-coolant accident. Water, along with debris, would accumulate at the bottom of the containment structure and flow towards the emergency sump pumps. Insulation and other fibrous material could block the emergency sump screens and suction strainers, which in turn could prevent the ability of the containment emergency sump to provide adequate flow to the residual heat removal recirculation pumps (for more information, see NUREG–0897, ‘‘Containment Emergency Sump Performance’’). The NRC issued GL 2004–02 to address this safety concern by requesting PWR licensees, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f), to use an NRCapproved methodology to perform a ‘‘mechanistic evaluation of the potential for the adverse effects of post-accident E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1
