Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed license amendment would revise the FOLs and Technical Specifications (TS) of SSES, Units 1 and 2, to allow the licensee to increase the licensed core power level from 3441 MWt to 3489 MWt, which represents a 1.4 percent increase in the allowable thermal power. SSES Unit 1 was granted conditional authorization for power production by its FOL issued on July 17, 1982. Full power operation of Unit 1 at 3,293 MWt core power was authorized by Amendment No. 5 to the FOL, issued on November 12, 1982. Amendment No. 143 to the FOL, issued on March 22, 1995, authorized a power uprate for Unit 1 to 3,441 MWt. SSES Unit 2 ]]> http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2001-06-25-01-15815 Mon, Jun 25 2001 11:00:00 GMT http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2001-06-25-01-15816

Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix G, requires that pressuretemperature (PT) limits be established for reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) during normal operating and hydrostatic or leak rate testing conditions. Specifically, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, states, ``The appropriate requirements on both the pressure temperature limits and the minimum permissible temperature must be met for all conditions.'' The purpose of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, is to protect the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary in nuclear power plants.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is seeking public comment on ITAAC that are required for issuance of combined licenses (COLs) for nuclear power facilities under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52, Subpart C. Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 52 sets forth a process for issuing combined licenses (COLs) for nuclear power facilities. A COL authorizes construction and conditional operation of a nuclear power facility. 10 CFR Section 52.79(c) requires that the COL application include ITAAC that are necessary and sufficient to demonstrate that the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the
[[Page 33719]]
COL, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and the Commission's regulations. 10 CFR 52.103(g) requires that the Commission find that the acceptance criteria in the ITAAC have been met before a facility can be authorized to operate. The staff is seeking public comment on whether or not COL applications should contain ITAAC on operational progr ]]> http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2001-06-25-01-15817 Mon, Jun 25 2001 11:00:00 GMT
