Southern Nuclear Company, Inc.; Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8, held by Southern Nuclear Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee), for the operation of Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (Farley), Units 1 and 2, respectively, located in Houston County, Alabama. The proposed amendment would revise the implementation date to transition to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 from November 6, 2017, to the conclusion of the 1R28 spring 2018, refueling outage. The NRC proposes to determine that the license amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. Because the amendment request contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.
