10 CFR Part 31, 30-day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Notices

no significant increase in individual or
cumulative public or occupational
radiation exposure; (iv) there is no
significant construction impact; (v)
there is no significant increase in the
potential for or consequences from
radiological accidents; and (vi) the
requirements from which an exemption
is sought involve: Surety, insurance, or
indemnity requirements
The Director, Division of Operating
Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation, has determined that
approval of the exemption request
involves no significant hazards
consideration because reducing the
licensee’s onsite property damage
insurance for KPS does not (1) involve
a significant increase in the probability
or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated; or (2) create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously
evaluated; or (3) involve a significant
reduction in a margin of safety. The
exempted financial protection
regulation is unrelated to the operation
of KPS. Accordingly, there is no
significant change in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of
any effluents that may be released
offsite; and no significant increase in
individual or cumulative public or
occupational radiation exposure. The
exempted regulation is not associated
with construction, so there is no
significant construction impact. The
exempted regulation does not concern
the source term (i.e., potential amount
of radiation in an accident), nor
mitigation. Therefore, there is no
significant increase in the potential for,
or consequences of, a radiological
accident. In addition, there would be no
significant impacts to biota, water
resources, historic properties, cultural
resources, or socioeconomic conditions
in the region. The requirement for onsite
property damage insurance may be
viewed as involving surety, insurance,
or indemnity matters.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22(b) and 51.22(c)(25), no
environmental impact statement or
environmental assessment need be
prepared in connection with the
approval of this exemption request.
IV. Conclusions
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by
law, will not present an undue risk to
the public health and safety, and is
consistent with the common defense
and security. Also, special
circumstances are present. Therefore,
the Commission hereby grants DEK an
exemption from the requirements of 10

CFR 50.54(w)(1), to permit the licensee
to reduce its onsite property damage
insurance to a level of $50 million.
The exemption is effective upon
issuance.

of April, 2015.

Jennivine Rankin, Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the Deputy Director,
Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued
a final director’s decision (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15054A365), on a
petition filed by the petitioner on March
5, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML14071A006), as supplemented on
April 8, May 21, and September 3, 2014
(ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML14143A212, ML14142A101, and
ML14259A135, respectively). The
petitioner requested a number of actions
be taken by the NRC and the licensee for
equipment failures at PNP. As the basis
for the request, the petitioner stated that
there have been recent plant events and
equipment failures at PNP, such as parts
of the primary coolant pump (PCP)
impeller breaking off and lodging in the
reactor vessel (RV) and flaws in the
control rod drive mechanisms (CRDMs).
The petitioner requested immediate
action to prevent the PNP from
restarting due to a piece of PCP impeller
that was lodged between the RV and the
flow skirt and due to flawed CRDMs.
By email dated March 19, 2014
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14083A680),
the NRC staff denied the petitioner’s
request for immediate action to prevent
PNP from restarting, based on the
following factors:
1. The NRC performed an in-depth
independent review of the licensee’s
analysis and concluded that the
impeller piece did not pose a threat to
safe operation of the reactor and RV.
2. The licensee replaced all of the
CRDM housings prior to plant startup.
By teleconference on April 8, 2014,
and again on September 3, 2014, the
petitioner addressed the Petition Review
Board (PRB). The meetings provided the
petitioner with an opportunity to
provide additional information and to
clarify issues cited in the petition. The
transcripts of these meeting were treated
as supplements to the petition and are
available in ADAMS, as previously
noted.
In the agency’s letter dated September
25, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML14237A726), the NRC accepted the
following specific issues of the petition
for review under Section 2.206 of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR):
1. Request for PNP to open every PCP for
inspection and clear up all flaws.
2. Request for PNP to replace the PCPs
with others designed for their intended duty.
