SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 7, 2014, NWMI filed with the 
NRC, pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, and part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), a portion of an application for a construction permit for a 
medical radioisotope production facility in Columbia, Missouri. By 
letter dated February 5, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15086A262), NWMI 
withdrew and resubmitted this portion of its construction permit 
application (ADAMS Accession No. ML15086A261) to include a discussion 
of connected actions in its environmental report in response to a 
January 23, 2015, letter from the NRC (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML14349A501). A notice of receipt of this application was previously 
published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2015 (80 FR 22227).
    An exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5) 
granted by the Commission on October 7, 2013, and published in the 
Federal Register on October 24, 2013 (78 FR 63501), in response to a 
letter from NWMI dated August 9, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML13227A295), allowed for NWMI to submit its construction permit 
application in two parts. Specifically, the exemption allowed NWMI to 
submit a portion of its application for a construction permit up to six 
months prior to the remainder of the application regardless of whether 
or not an environmental impact statement or a supplement to an 
environmental impact statement was prepared during the review of its 
application. On February 5, 2015, in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.101(a)(5), NWMI submitted the following in part one of the 
construction permit application (ADAMS Accession No. ML15086A261):
     The description and safety assessment of the site required 
by 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1),
     the environmental report required by 10 CFR 50.30(f),
     the filing fee information required by 10 CFR 50.30(e) and 
10 CFR 170.21,
     the general information required by 10 CFR 50.33; and
     the agreement limiting access to classified information 
required by 10 CFR 50.37.
    The NRC staff has determined that NWMI has submitted the 
information listed above in accordance with 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5) and that 
the partial application is acceptable for docketing. The docket number 
established for the NWMI facility is 50-609.
    The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the 
partial construction permit application. Docketing of the partial 
construction permit application does not preclude the NRC from 
requesting additional information from the applicant as the review 
proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny 
the application. The NRC staff will also perform an acceptance review 
of the second and final part of the construction permit application 
when it is tendered. As stated in NWMI's February 5, 2015, letter, the 
second and final part of NWMI's application for a construction permit 
will contain the remainder of the preliminary safety analysis report 
required by 10 CFR 50.34(a) and will be submitted in accordance with 
the requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5). If, after completion of the 
acceptance review of the full construction permit application, the full 
construction permit application is found acceptable for docketing, the 
Commission or a designated Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will 
conduct a hearing in accordance with Subpart L, ``Simplified Hearing 
Procedures for NRC Adjudications,'' of 10 CFR part 2 and the Advisory 
Committee on Reactor Safeguards will prepare a report on the 
construction permit application consistent with 10 CFR 50.58, 
``Hearings and report of the Advisory Committee on Reactor 
Safeguards.'' The Commission will announce in a future Federal Register 
notice, the opportunity to petition for leave to intervene in the 
hearing required for this application by 10 CFR 50.58, as well as the 
time and place of the hearing. If the Commission finds that the full 
construction permit application meets the applicable standards of the 
Atomic Energy Act and

[[Page 32419]]

the Commission's regulations, and that required notifications to other 
agencies and bodies have been made, the Commission will issue a 
construction permit, in the form and containing conditions and 
limitations that the Commission finds appropriate and necessary.
    Pursuant to 10 CFR part 51, the NRC staff will conduct an 
environmental review of the construction permit before recommending 
Commission action on the application. The NRC staff will determine in 
accordance with 10 CFR 51.25, whether it will prepare an environmental 
impact statement or an environmental assessment to inform the decision 
on the construction permit application and will publish a Federal 
Register notice concerning its environmental review.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of May 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

 Chief, Research and Test Reactors Licensing Branch, Division of Policy 
and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
