NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Duke Power Co.; Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing
[Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370]
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied
part of a request by Duke Power Company (the licensee) for amendments
to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17 issued to the
licensee for operation of the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2,
located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A Notice of
Consideration of Issuance of the Amendments was published in the
Federal Register on December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67842).
The licensee's application of October 25, 1993, as supplemented on
December 3, 1993, and February 14, 1994, proposed several changes to
the Technical Specifications (TS) relating to the Limiting Safety
System Settings and to the required minimum measured reactor coolant
system flow rate. The amendments issued on March 22, 1994, authorized
these changes except for those that would change the text of TS 2.1.1
and the definition of Figure 2.1-1. These changes were found either not
to be beneficial in clarifying the TS or to be unacceptable because
they would eliminate the connection between TS 2.1 and the associated
reporting requirements in TS Section 6.
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's proposed change is
unacceptable and is denied. The licensee was notified of the
Commission's denial of the proposed change by letter dated April 14,
1994.
By May 23, 1994, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to
the denial described above. Any person whose interest may be affected
by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene.
A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be
filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Docketing and Services
Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room,
the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, by the above
date.
A copy of any petitions should also be sent to the Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555, and to Mr. Albert Carr, Duke Power Company, 422 South Church
Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28242, attorney for the licensee.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the
application for amendments dated October 25, 1993, as supplemented on
December 3, 1993, and February 14, 1994, and (2) the Commission's
letter to the licensee dated April 14, 1994.
These documents are available for public inspection at the
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the local public document room
located at the Atkins Library, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
(UNCC Station), North Carolina 28223. A copy of item (2) may be
obtained upon request addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Document Control Desk.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of April 1994.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David B. Matthews,
Project Director, Project Directorate II-3, Division of Reactor
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
