SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The proposed amendment would have revised the facility Fire Protection Program related to the alternate shutdown capability that is documented in the Fire Hazards Analysis Report for STP, Units 1 and 2. The amendments requested approval to perform certain operator actions from the main control room (MCR) before evacuating the MCR to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire in the MCR.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2011 (76 FR 52702). However, by letter dated July 31, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12220A509), the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
