Washington Public Power Supply System; 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 the Washington Public Power Supply System (the licensee) 
for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-21 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Washington Nuclear Project No. 2, located 
in Benton County, Washington.
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
operating license to permanently utilize the present reactor water 
cleanup system design without postulation of a high-energy line break 
at the terminal end of valve RWCU-FCV-33.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be 
granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the 
proposed change by a letter dated July 7, 1994.
    By August 12, 1994, 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 20555 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 M.H. Philips, Jr., Esq., Winston and Strawn, 1400 L 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005-3502, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated December 3, 1993, and (2) the 
Commission's letter to the licensee dated July 7, 1994.
    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 Richland Public Library, 955 
Northgate Street, Richland, Washington 99352. A copy of item (2) may be 
obtained upon request addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Document Control Desk.
