Description
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering approval of two requests to amend operating licenses for the St. Lucie Plant, Unit No. 1 and Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The NRC proposes to determine that these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration (NSHC). Due to the inclusion of sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI) in the requests, the NRC has issued procedures for obtaining access to this information for those who file hearing requests or petitions to intervene. Public comments and intervention requests are invited within specified deadlines.
