Philadelphia Electric Company, Limerick Generation Station, Unit
1; Notice of Issuance of Amendment To Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 128 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-39, issued to
Philadelphia Electric Company (the licensee), which approves
installation of replacement suction strainers for operation of the
Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Unit 1, located in Montgomery and
Chester Counties, Pennsylvania. The amendment is effective as of the
date of issuance and shall be implemented within 30 days.
The amendment documents the NRC staff's approval of the
implementation of a plant modification to support the installation of
replacement suction strainers for the emergency core cooling systems at
the LGS, Unit 1.
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 to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this
action was published in the Federal Register on January 29, 1998 (63 FR
4496). 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 (63 FR
25526).
