SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC
has issued renewed Facility Operating
License No. R–84, held by the licensee,
which authorizes continued operation
of the AFRRI TRIGA reactor, located in
Bethesda, Maryland. The AFRRI TRIGA
reactor is a heterogeneous pool-type,
natural convection, light-water cooled
and shielded reactor. The renewed
license authorizes the licensee to
operate the AFRRI TRIGA reactor up to
a steady-state power level of 1.1
megawatts thermal with pulsing
capability using reactivity insertions up
to 2.45% Dk/k. The renewed Facility
Operating License No. R–84 will expire
20 years from its date of issuance,
November 30, 2016.
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 November 15,
2012 (77 FR 68155). 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 related to the renewal
of Facility Operating License No. R–84
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
November 25, 2016 (81 FR 85268), and
concluded that renewal of the facility
operating license will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.
