NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-373 AND 50-374]


Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 147 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-11 and 
Amendment No. 133 to Facility Operating License NPF-18, issued to 
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the 
operating licenses and the Technical Specifications for operation of 
the LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively, located in 
LaSalle County, Illinois. The amendments are effective as of the date 
of issuance.
    The amendments revise the current Technical Specifications (TS, 
Appendix A of the operating licenses) in their entirety with a set of 
improved TS (ITS) based on NUREG-1433, Revision 1, ``Standard Technical 
Specifications, General Electric Plants BWR/4,'' dated April 1995, 
NUREG-1434, Revision 1, ``Standard Technical Specifications, General 
Electric Plants BWR/6,'' dated April 1995, and guidance provided in the 
Commission's ``Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications 
Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors,'' published on July 22, 1993 
(58 FR 39132). In addition, the amendments add new conditions to the 
operating licenses regarding the relocation of current TS requirements 
into licensee-controlled documents as part of the implementation of the 
ITS, and the schedule for the first performance of new and revised 
surveillance requirements (four conditions). The amendments also delete 
a license condition related to fuel movement, since its requirements 
have been incorporated into the ITS.
    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 February 16, 2001 (66 
FR 10753). 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 (66 FR 
16694).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated March 3, 2000, and supplemented by 
letters dated March 24, June 5 (two letters), July 18, July 31, 
September 1, September 22, October 5, October 9, November 20, and 
December 18, 2000; February 15, February 28, and March 7, 2001, (2) 
Amendment No. 147 to License No. NPF-11 and Amendment No. 133 to 
License No. NPF-18, (3) the Commission's related Safety Evaluation, and 
(4) the Commission's Environmental Assessment. Documents may be 
examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room, 
located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor),

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of March 2001.

    For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
