exemption is required by paragraph A.4
of section VIII, ‘‘Processes for Changes
and Departures,’’ appendix D, to 10 CFR
part 52 to allow the licensee to depart
from Tier 1 information. With the
requested amendment, the licensee
proposed changes to plant-specific Tier
1 information and corresponding
changes to COL Appendix C and
associated plant-specific DCD Tier 2
material incorporated into the VEGP
UFSAR, by revising information to
address the need for mitigation of fire
protection system flooding of the
Auxiliary Building identified during
completion of the pipe rupture hazards
analysis. The exemption met all
applicable regulatory criteria set forth in
10 CFR 50.12, 10 CFR 52.7, and section
VIII.A.4 of appendix D to 10 CFR part
52. The license amendment met all
applicable regulatory criteria and was
found to be acceptable as well. The
combined safety evaluation is available
in ADAMS under Accession No.
ML18017A261.
Identical exemption documents
(except for referenced unit numbers and
license numbers) were issued to the
licensee for VEGP Units 3 and 4 (COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92). The exemption
documents for VEGP Units 3 and 4 can
be found in ADAMS under Accession
Nos. ML18017A608 and ML18017A524,
respectively. The exemption is
reproduced (with the exception of
abbreviated titles and additional
citations) in Section II of this document.
The amendment documents for COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92 are available in
ADAMS under Accession Nos.
ML18017A386 and ML18017A577,
respectively. A summary of the
amendment documents is provided in
Section III of this document.
II. Exemption
Reproduced below is the exemption
document issued to VEGP Units 3 and
Unit 4. It makes reference to the
combined safety evaluation that
provides the reasoning for the findings
made by the NRC (and listed under Item
1) in order to grant the exemption:
1. In a letter dated March 31, 2017, as
supplemented and revised by letters
dated August 21, October 9, November
1, December 1 and December 15, 2017,
and January 3, 2018, Southern Nuclear
Operating Company requested from the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC
or Commission) an exemption to allow
departures from Tier 1 information in
the certified DCD incorporated by
reference in Title 10 10 CFR part 52,
appendix D, ‘‘Design Certification Rule
for the AP1000 Design,’’ as part of
license amendment request (LAR) 17–
010, ‘‘Request for License Amendment

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:47 Mar 12, 2018

Jkt 244001

and Exemption: Pipe Rupture Hazard
and Flooding Analyses.’’
For the reasons set forth in Section 3.1
of the NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation,
which can be found at ADAMS
Accession No. ML18017A261 the
Commission finds that:
A. The exemption is authorized by
law;
B. the exemption presents no undue
risk to public health and safety;
C. the exemption is consistent with
the common defense and security;
D. special circumstances are present
in that the application of the rule in this
circumstance is not necessary to serve
the underlying purpose of the rule;
E. the special circumstances outweigh
any decrease in safety that may result
from the reduction in standardization
caused by the exemption; and
F. the exemption will not result in a
significant decrease in the level of safety
otherwise provided by the design.
2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted
an exemption from the certified AP1000
DCD Tier 1 information, with
corresponding changes to Appendix C
of the Facility Combined License as
described in the request dated March
31, 2017, as supplemented and revised
by letters dated August 21, October 9,
November 1, December 1 and December
15, 2017 and January 3, 2018. This
exemption is related to, and necessary
for, the granting of License Amendment
Nos.107 and 106, which is issued
concurrently with this exemption.
3. As explained in Section 6.0 of the
NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation (ADAMS
Accession Number ML18017A261, this
exemption meets the eligibility criteria
for categorical exclusion set forth in 10
CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to
10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment needs to be prepared in
connection with the issuance of the
exemption.
4. This exemption is effective as of the
date of its issuance.
III. License Amendment Request
By letter dated March 31, 2017
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17090A570),
and revised and supplemented by letters
dated August 21, October 9, November
1, December 1, and December 15, 2017,
and January 3, 2018 (ADAMS Accession
Nos. ML17233A325, ML17282A014,
ML17305B507, ML17335A762,
ML17349A928, and ML18003B082,
respectively), the licensee requested that
the NRC amend the COLs for VEGP,
Units 3 and 4, COLs NPF–91 and NPF–
92. The proposed amendment is
described in Section I of this Federal
Register notice.

The Commission has determined for
these amendments that the application
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.
A notice of consideration of issuance
of amendment to facility operating
license or COL, as applicable, proposed
no significant hazards consideration
determination, and opportunity for a
hearing in connection with these
actions, was published in the Federal
Register on June 6, 2017 (82 FR 26123).
No comments were received during the
30-day comment period.
The Commission has determined that
these amendments satisfy the criteria for
categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant
to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment need be prepared for these
amendments.
IV. Conclusion
Using the reasons set forth in the
combined safety evaluation, the staff
granted the exemption and issued the
amendment that the licensee requested
by letter dated March 31, 2017,
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17090A570)
and revised and supplemented by letters
dated August 21, October 9, November
1, December 1, and December 15, 2017,
and January 3, 2018 (ADAMS Accession
Nos. ML17233A325, ML17282A014,
ML17305B507, ML17335A762,
ML17349A928, and ML18003B082,
respectively).
The exemption and amendment were
issued to the licensee on February 1,
2018, as part of a combined package
(ADAMS Accession No. ML18017A721).
