NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-219]
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License; GPU Nuclear
Corporation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 179 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 issued to
GPU Nuclear Corporation (the licensee), which revised the Technical
Specifications for operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating
Station located in Ocean County, New Jersey. The amendment is effective
as of the date of issuance, to be implemented within 30 days of
issuance.
The amendment revises Technical Specification 5.3.1.E to allow 2645
fuel assemblies to be stored in the fuel pool. This is an increase of
45 fuel assemblies from the current limit of 2600 fuel assemblies. The
45 additional storage locations currently exist in the racks in the
fuel pool.
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 December 20, 1994 (59 FR 65542). 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
17373).
For further details with respect to the action see (1) the
application for amendment dated November 25, 1994, as supplemented
February 15, 1995, and (2) Amendment No. 179 to License No. DPR-16, (3)

document room located at the Ocean County Library, Reference
Department, 101 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ 08753.
