NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-193; NRC-2016-0213]


Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: License renewal; issuance.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a 
renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-95, held by the Rhode 
Island Atomic Energy Commission (RINSC or the licensee) for the 
continued operation of its Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center reactor 
for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance. The facility is 
located on the Narragansett Bay Campus of the University of Rhode 
Island in Narragansett, Rhode Island.

DATES: The renewed facility operating license No. R-95 is effective on 
January 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has issued renewed Facility 
Operating License No. R-95, held by the licensee, which authorizes 
continued operation of the RINSC reactor, located on the Narragansett 
Bay Campus of the University of Rhode Island in Narragansett, Rhode 
Island. The RINSC reactor is a heterogeneous open pool-type, natural 
and forced convection, light-water cooled and shielded reactor. The 
renewed license authorizes the licensee to operate the RINSC reactor up 
to a steady-state power level of 2 megawatts thermal. The renewed 
Facility Operating License No. R-95 will expire 20 years from its date 
of issuance, January 5, 2017.
    The renewed facility operating license complies with the standards 
and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the 
Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has 
made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's 
regulations in chapter I of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed facility 
operating license. The agency afforded an opportunity for hearing in 
the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing published in the Federal Register 
on October 24, 2016 (81 FR 73148). The NRC received no request for a 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice.
    The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report (SER)--Renewal of 
the Facility Operating License for the Rhode Island Nuclear Science 
Center Reactor related to the renewal of Facility Operating License No. 
R-95 and concluded, based on that evaluation, that the licensee can 
continue to operate the facility without endangering the health and 
safety of the public. The NRC staff also prepared an environmental 
assessment and finding of no significant impact regarding the renewal 
of the facility operating license, noticed in the Federal Register on 
January 5, 2017 (82 FR 1364), and concluded that renewal of the 
facility operating license will not have a significant impact on the 
quality of the human environment.

interested persons through ADAMS accession numbers, as indicated. The 
SER, prepared by the NRC staff for the license renewal, is available in
