NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-261]
Carolina Power & Light Company; Notice of Partial Denial of
Amendment to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has
denied a portion of an amendment request by the Carolina Power & Light
Company (the licensee) for an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating
License No. DPR-23 issued to the licensee for operation of the H. B.
Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2, located in Darlington
County, South Carolina. The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this
amendment was published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2003 (68 FR
15758).
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the
Technical Specifications (TS) to fully implement the alternative source
term (AST).
The NRC staff has concluded that the portion of the licensee's
request regarding use of the AST for loss-of-coolant accidents cannot
be granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the
proposed change by a letter dated September 24, 2004.
By 30 days from the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to the
denial described above. Any person whose
[[Page 58984]]
interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a written petition
for leave to intervene pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 2.309.
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 20555-0001 Attention: Rulemakings and
Adjudications Staff, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public
Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area
O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, by the
above date. Because of continuing disruptions in delivery to mail to
U.S. Government offices, it is requested that petitions for leave to
intervene and requests for hearing be transmitted to the Secretary of
the Commission either by means of facsimile transmission to 301-415-
1101 or by e-mail to [email protected]. A copy of any petitions
should also be sent to the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and because of
continuing disruptions in delivery of mail to the U.S. Government
offices, it is requested that copies be transmitted either by means of
facsimile transmission to 301-415-3725 or by e-mail to
[email protected]. A copy of any petitions should also be sent to
Steven R. Carr, Associate General Counsel--Legal Department, Progress
Energy Service Company, LLC, Post Office Box 1551, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27602, attorney for the licensee.
