The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has docketed a license amendment application from the Department of Energy (DOE or the licensee) for amendment of Materials License No. SNM-2512, for the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility independent spent fuel storage installation located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in Butte County, Idaho. If granted, the amendment would update the licensee delegation of authority in the license, the technical specifications, and the final safety analysis report. These documents currently delegate authority under the license to the Manager, DOE Idaho Operations Office. The amendment would replace that reference with the Deputy Manager, Idaho Cleanup Project in each of the documents.

[Docket No. 72-25; NRC-2017-0049]


Department of Energy; Idaho Spent Fuel Facility Independent Spent 
Fuel Storage Installation

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: License amendment application, docketing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has docketed a 
license amendment application from the Department of Energy (DOE or the 
licensee) for amendment of Materials License No. SNM-2512, for the 
Idaho Spent Fuel Facility independent spent fuel storage installation 
located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in Butte County, 
Idaho. If granted, the amendment would update the licensee delegation 
of authority in the license, the technical specifications, and the 
final safety analysis report. These documents currently delegate 
authority under the license to the Manager, DOE Idaho Operations 
Office. The amendment would replace that reference with the Deputy 
Manager, Idaho Cleanup Project in each of the documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    By letter dated September 8, 2016, DOE submitted to the NRC an 
application to amend the license, technical specifications, and the 
final safety analysis report, for the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility 
independent spent fuel storage installation, located on the Idaho 
National Engineering Laboratory in Butte County, Idaho (ADAMS Accession 
No. ML16258A178). Materials License No. SNM-2512 authorizes the 
licensee to receive, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel elements 
from the Peach Bottom Unit 1 reactor and various TRIGA reactors; 
reflector modules and rods from the Shippingport reactor; and 
associated radioactive materials and components related to the fuel 
elements' receipt, transfer, and storage. The proposed amendment would 
revise the licensee delegation of authority in the license, the 
technical specifications, and the final safety analysis report. These 
documents currently delegate authority under the license to the 
Manager, DOE Idaho Operations Office. This amendment would replace that 
reference with the Deputy Manager, Idaho Cleanup Project in each of the 
documents.
    In a letter to DOE dated December 9, 2016, the NRC notified DOE 
that the application was acceptable to begin a technical review (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML16347A133). The NRC's Office of Nuclear Materials 
Safety and Safeguards has docketed this application under Docket No. 
72-25. If the NRC approves the amendment, the approval will be 
documented in an amendment to NRC Materials License No. SNM-2512. The 
Commission will approve the license amendment if it determines that the 
request complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's rules and regulations, 
and make findings consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act 
and 10 CFR part 51. These findings will be documented in a Safety 
Evaluation Report.

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing

    The Commission may issue either a notice of hearing or a notice of 
proposed action and opportunity for hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 
72.46(b)(1) or, if a determination is made that the amendment does not 
present a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be 
significantly affected, take immediate action on the amendment in 
accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), and provide notice of the action 
taken and an opportunity for interested persons to request a hearing on 
whether the action should be rescinded or modified.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of February 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Bernard H. White, IV,
Acting Chief, Spent Fuel Licensing Branch, Division of Spent Fuel 
Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
