Pursuant to section 189a.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission or NRC staff) is publishing this regular biweekly notice. The Act requires the Commission publish notice of any amendments issued, or proposed to be issued and grants the Commission the authority to issue and make immediately effective any amendment to an operating license upon a determination by the Commission that such amendment involves no significant hazards consideration,

This biweekly notice includes all notices of amendments issued, or proposed to be issued from June 23, 2006 to July 6, 2006. The last biweekly notice was published on July 5, 2006 (71 FR 38180).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR70 and DPR75 issued to PSEG Nuclear LLC (the licensee) for operation of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Salem County, New Jersey.

The proposed amendments would revise the Salem Technical Specifications (TSs) to eliminate certain Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for containment isolation valves. The proposed changes are to delete SR 4.6.3.1.1 and SR 4.6.3.1 for Salem Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. These SRs require a complete valve stroke and stroke time measurement when a valve is returned to service after maintenance, repair, or replacement work. The proposed changes are intended to minimize unnecessary testing and plant transients. Other Salem TS containment isolation valve SRs will ensure that the valves remain operable.

Before issuance of the proposed license amendments, the Commissio ]]> http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-07-18-E6-11319 Tue, Jul 18 2006 11:00:00 GMT http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-07-18-E6-11320

The amendment modified the License and Technical Specifications to authorize an increase in the licensed rated thermal power by 16.8 percent from 1520 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 1775 MWt. This level of power increase is considered an extended power uprate.

The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendm ]]> http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-07-18-E6-11320 Tue, Jul 18 2006 11:00:00 GMT
