NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-423]
Northeast Nuclear Energy Co.; Notice of Issuance of Amendment To
Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 103 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-49 issued to
Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (the licensee), which revised the
Technical Specifications (TS) for operation of the Millstone Nuclear
Power Station, Unit No. 3 located in New London County, Connecticut.
The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendment modified TS 3.5.2.a to allow a one-time extension of
the allowable Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pump outage time for the
purpose of mechanical seal replacement and its related modifications.
The allowable outage time is extended from 72 hours to 120 hours, may
only be used one time per pump, and is not valid after April 30, 1995.
The amendment clearly defines the times in which each RHR pump and
associated RHR hear exchanger must be restored to an operable state.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity
for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal
Register on October 14, 1994 (59 FR 52200). No request for a hearing or
petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (60 FR
7800).
For further details with respect to the action see (1) the
application for amendment dated August 16, 1994, and supplemented
January 10, 1995, (2) Amendment No. 103 to License No. NPF-49, (3) the

Community-Technical College, Thames Valley Campus, 574 New London
Turnpike, Norwich, CT 06360.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of February 1995.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
