SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of combined 
license numbers NPF-097 and NPF-098 to the Licensees, and under 10 CFR 
50.102(c), the NRC is providing notice of the Record of Decision (ROD). 
With respect to the application for combined licenses filed by NINA, 
the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), and the Commission's 
regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required 
notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that 
there is reasonable assurance that the facilities will be constructed 
and will operate in conformity with the license, the provisions of the 
AEA, and the Commission's regulations. Furthermore, the NRC finds that 
the Licensees are technically and financially qualified to engage in 
the activities authorized, and that issuance of the licenses will not 
be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and 
safety of the public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required 
by subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been made.
    Accordingly, the combined licenses were issued on February 12, 
2016, and became effective immediately.

II. Further Information

    The NRC has prepared a Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) and 
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document the 
information reviewed and the NRC's conclusion. The Commission has also 
issued its Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the 
uncontested hearing held on November 19, 2015, which serves as the ROD 
in this proceeding. The NRC also prepared a document summarizing the 
ROD to accompany its actions on the combined license application; this 
Summary ROD incorporates by reference materials contained in the FEIS. 
The FSER, FEIS, Summary ROD, and accompanying documentation included in 
the combined license package, as well as the Commission's hearing 
decision and ROD, are available online in the ADAMS Public Document 
collection at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
