NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-302]
Florida Power Corporation; Notice of Denial of Amendment to
Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied
a request by Florida Power Corporation, (licensee) for an amendment to
Facility Operating License No. DPR-72 issued to the licensee for
operation of the Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit No. 3,
located in Citrus County, Florida. Notice of Consideration of Issuance
of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on November 14,
1990 (55 FR 47570).
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the
Technical Specifications (TS) to add a limiting condition for operation
for new low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) and to revise
the reactor coolant system (RCS) heatup and cooldown pressure-
temperature (PT) operating limits for operation up to 15 effective-
full-power-years. On February 7, 1991, by Amendment No. 133, the NRC
staff approved RCS heatup and cooldown PT curves for operation up to 15
effective-full-power-years. Amendment No. 133 did not address the
licensee's proposed TS changes for LTOP, which is the subject of this
notice.
The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request for LTOP TS
changes cannot be granted. The licensee was notified of the
Commission's denial of the proposed change by a letter dated August 31,
1995.
By October 13, 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 petitions should also be sent to the Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555, and to A.H. Stephens, General Counsel, Florida Power
Corporation, MAC-A5D, P.O. Box 14042, St. Petersburg, Florida 33733,
attorney for the licensee.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the
application for amendment dated October 31, 1989, as supplemented
August 10, 1990, and (2) the Commission's letter to the licensee dated
August 31, 1995.
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 Coastal Region Library, 8619 W. Crystal Street, Crystal River,
Florida 32629.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 31st day of August 1995.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David B. Matthews,
Project Director, Project Directorate II-1, Division of Reactor
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
