NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-289]
GPU Nuclear, Inc.; Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment to
Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has
partially denied a request by GPU Nuclear, Inc., (licensee) for an
amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 issued to the
licensee for operation of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit
1, located in Dauphin County, PA.
The purpose of the portion of the licensee's amendment request that
is denied was to seek approval from the Commission to allow the
licensee to ignore the low temperature overpressure protection
provisions related to high pressure injection pumps start and running
restrictions during an emergency cooldown without having to invoke 10
CFR 50.54(x).
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be
granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the
proposed change by a letter dated August 6, 1999.
By September 13, 1999, 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 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and
Adjudications Staff, 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
20555-0001, and to Ernest L. Blake, Jr., Esquire, Shaw, Pittman, Potts,
& Trowbridge, 2300 N Street, NW., Washington, DC 20037, attorney for
the licensee.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the
application for amendment dated March 31, 1997, as supplemented June 3,
1998, and July 13, 1998, and (2) the Commission's letter to the
licensee dated August 6, 1999.
These documents are available for public inspection at the
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,
NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document room located at
the Law/Government Publications Section, State Library of Pennsylvania,
(Regional Depository) Walnut Street and Commonwealth Avenue, Box 1601,
Harrisburg, PA 17105.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of August 1999.
