NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-325 and 50-324]


Carolina Power & Light Company; Notice of Issuance of Amendments 
to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 222 and 247 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-71 
and DPR-62, respectively, to Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L, the 
licensee), which revised the Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) and 
Technical Specifications (TS) for operation of the Brunswick Steam 
Electric Plant (BSEP), Units 1 and 2, located in Brunswick County, 
North Carolina. The amendments are effective as of the date of 
issuance.
    The amendments modified the FOLs and TS to allow an increase in the 
licensed power from 2558 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 2923 MWt. This 
change represents an increase of approximately 15 percent above the 
current licensed power for each unit and is considered an extended 
power uprate.
    The application for the amendments 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 
amendments.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility 
Operating Licenses and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with 
this action was published in the Federal Register on February 12, 2002 
(67 FR 36927). 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 (67 FR 
36040, May 22, 2002).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendments dated August 9, 2001, as supplemented 
October 17, November 1, 7, 28, and 30, December 4, 10, 17 (2 letters), 
and 20, 2001, January 24, February 1, 4, 13, 14, 21 (2 letters), and 25 
(3 letters), March 4, 5, 7, 12, 14 (2 letters), 20, 22, and 25, and 
April 26 and 29, 2002, (2) Amendment Nos. 222 and 247 to License Nos. 
DPR-71 and DPR-62, respectively, (3) the Commission's related Safety 
Evaluation, and (4) the Commission's Environmental Assessment.
