NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-334]


Duquesne Light Company; Notice of Issuance of Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 204 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-66 issued to 
Duquesne Light Company, et al., (the licensee) which revised the 
Technical Specifications for operation of the Beaver Valley Power 
Station, Unit No. 1, located in Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The 
amendment is effective as of the date of issuance, to be implemented 
within 60 days.
    The amendment modified Technical Specification (TS) 5.3.1.2.a to 
increase the maximum allowable U-235 enrichment of new fuel assemblies 
in the new fuel storage racks to 5.0 weight percent with a tolerance of 
+0.05 weight percent, and modified TS 5.3.1.2.c to increase the maximum 
allowable Keff to less than or equal to 0.98 for moderation 
by aqueous foam.
    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 to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this 
action was published in the Federal Register on March 25, 1997 (62 FR 
14166). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was 
filed following this 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 (62 FR 
27791).
