Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 22, 2017 / Notices
containing core debris and damaged
spent nuclear fuel from the TMI–2
reactor. 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. ML16347A192). The NRC’s Office of
Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards
has docketed this application under
Docket No. 72–20. If the NRC approves
the amendment, the approval will be
documented in an amendment to NRC
Materials License No. SNM–2508. 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 part 51 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR). 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should be rescinded or modified.

AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) received a design
certification application (DCA) from
NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale), on
January 6, 2017, for a Small Modular
Reactor (SMR). The DCA package
included a transmittal letter, dated
December 31, 2016, which indicated the
application would be supplemented
with one topical report and four
technical reports by January 10, 2017.
By January 12, 2017, NuScale provided
updated files that allowed for the
successful completion of the NRC’s
electronic processing of the DCA
package.

By letter
dated December 31, 2016, NuScale filed
an application for a standard design
certification of the NuScale SMR with
the NRC, pursuant to Section 103 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and part 52 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals
for Nuclear Power Plants.’’
The NuScale SMR is a pressurizedwater reactor (PWR). The design is
based on the Multi-Application Small
Light Water Reactor (MASLWR)
developed at Oregon State University in
the early 2000s. The NuScale SMR is a
natural circulation light-water reactor
with the reactor core and helical coil
steam generator located in a common
reactor vessel in a cylindrical steel
containment. The NuScale power
module is immersed in water in a safety
related pool. The reactor pool is located
below grade and is designed to hold up
to twelve (12) power modules. Each
NuScale SMR has a rated thermal
output of 160 megawatts thermal (MWt)
and electrical output of 50 megawatts
electric (MWe). Each plant can hold up
to 12 modules yielding a total capacity
of 600 MWe.
The acceptability of the tendered
application for docketing and other
matters relating to the requested
rulemaking pursuant to 10 CFR 52.51
for design certification, including
provisions for participation of the
public and other parties, will be the
subject of subsequent Federal Register
notices.
