NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-213]


Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company; Notice of Issuance of 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 185 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-61 issued to 
the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (the licensee), which 
revised the Technical Specifications for operation of the Haddam Neck 
Plant located in Middlesex County, Connecticut. The amendment is 
effective as of the date of issuance to be implemented within 30 days 
of issuance.
    The amendment revises the Haddam Neck Plant Technical 
Specifications (TS) to allow an increased limit for fuel enrichment. 
The change allows the storage of fuel with an enrichment not to exceed 
a nominal 5.0 weight percent (w/o) U-235 in the Haddam Neck Plant new 
and spent fuel storage racks. The current new and spent fuel storage 
rack maximum nominal enrichment is 3.9 w/o U-235 for Zircaloy clad fuel 
and 4.0 w/o U-235 for stainless steel clad fuel.
    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 
amendment.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity 
for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal 
Register on June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30620). No request for a hearing or 
petition for leave to intervene was filed following the notice.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to 
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (60 FR 
7798).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated May 17, 1994, as supplemented September 
9, 1994, and January 31, 1995, (2) Amendment No. 185 to License No. 
DPR-61, (3) the Commission's related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the

Street, Middletown, Connecticut 06457.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of March 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
