R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC; R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power
Plant; Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 97 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18,
issued to R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (the licensee), which
revised the License and Technical Specifications for operation of the
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant located in Wayne County, New York. The
amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendment modified the License and Technical Specifications to
authorize an increase in the licensed rated thermal power by 16.8
percent from 1520 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 1775 MWt. This level of
power increase is considered an extended power uprate.
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 September 22, 2005 (70
FR 55633). No
