intervene was filed in response to a notice of a proposed determination

by the NRC staff that the issuance of a license amendment to the

Station, Unit No. 3 would involve no significant hazards

considerations. The amendment would eliminate the requirement to have

the recirculation spray system directly inject into the reactor coolant

system following a design basis accident. The notice was published in

the Federal Register at 63 Fed. Reg. 14482, 14487 (March 25, 1998).
