NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-255]
Consumers Power Company; 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 Consumers Power Company, (licensee) for
an amendment to Facility Operating License No DRP-20 issued to the
licensee for operation of Palisades, located in Covert Township, Van
Buren County, Michigan. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this
amendment was published in the Federal Register on May 25, 1994 (59 FR
27053).
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to relocate
certain Technical Specifications (TS) containing fuel cycle-specific
parameter limits that can change with core reloads to a Core Operating
Limits Report. Several of the TS bases have also been revised to refer
to limits relocated to the COLR.
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be
fully granted. The removal of the power distribution measurement
uncertainty factors in Table 3.23.3 and the addition of certain
references to TS 6.9.1.f are denied. The licensee was notified of the
Commission's denial of the proposed change by a letter dated July 26,
1995.
By September 1, 1995, 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 petition should also be sent to the Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555, and to Gerald Charnoff, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts and
Trowbridge, 2300 N Street, NW., Washington, DC 20037.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the
application for amendment dated April 7, 1994, as supplemented April
27, 1995, and (2) the Commission's letter to the licensee dated July
26, 1995.
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 Van Wylen Library, Hope College,
Holland, Michigan 49423.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of July 1995.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Marsha Gamberoni,
Project Manager, Project Directorate III-I, Division of Reactor
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
