Solar Observatory (NSO), plans to fund
construction of the proposed ATST at
the University of Hawai’i Institute for
¯
Astronomy (IfA), Haleakala High
Altitude Observatory (HO) site, on the
Island of Maui, Hawai’i. An extensive
campaign of worldwide site testing has
¯
identified Haleakala Observatory as the
optimal location for this next-generation
solar observing facility. The telescope
enclosure and a support facility would
be placed at one of two identified sites
within the existing observatory
boundaries. The DEIS addresses the

multi-year selection process of these
sites and the potential environmental
impacts of on-site construction,
installation, and operation of this
proposed new solar telescope. With its
unprecedented 4.2-m (165-inch)
aperture, advanced optical technology,
and state-of-the-art instrumentation, the
proposed ATST would be an
indispensable tool for exploring and
understanding physical processes on the
sun that ultimately affect Earth. The
DEIS addresses, among other things, the
potential direct, indirect, and
cumulative environmental impacts
associated with the proposed Advanced
Technology Solar Telescope project.

COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–128; EA–06–211]
In the Matter of Texas A&M University
(Nuclear Science Center TRIGA
Research Reactor); Order Modifying
Amended Facility Operating License
No. R–83
I
The Texas A&M University (the
licensee) is the holder of Amended
Facility Operating License No. R–83 (the
license). The license was issued on
December 7, 1961, by the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission and subsequently
renewed on March 30, 1983, by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the
NRC or the Commission). The license
includes authorization to operate the
Nuclear Science Center TRIGA Research
Reactor (the facility) at a power level up
to 1,000 kilowatts thermal (1,300
kilowatts thermal for purposes of testing
and calibration) and to receive, possess,
and use special nuclear material
associated with the operation. The
facility is on the campus of the Texas
A&M University, in the city of College
Station, Brazos County, Texas. The
mailing address is Nuclear Science
Center, Texas Engineering Experimental
Station, Texas A&M University, 3575
TAMU, College Station, Texas 77843–
3575.
II
On February 25, 1986, the
Commission promulgated a final rule,
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.64,
limiting the use of high-enriched
uranium (HEU) fuel in domestic nonpower reactors (research and test
reactors) (see 51 FR 6514). The
regulation, which became effective on
March 27, 1986, requires that if Federal
Government funding for conversionrelated costs is available, each licensee
of a non-power reactor authorized to use
HEU fuel shall replace it with lowenriched uranium (LEU) fuel acceptable
to the Commission unless the
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Commission has determined that the
reactor has a unique purpose. The
Commission’s stated purpose for these
requirements was to reduce, to the
maximum extent possible, the use of
HEU fuel in order to reduce the risk of
theft and diversion of HEU fuel used in
non-power reactors.
Paragraphs 50.64(b)(2)(i) and (ii)
require that a licensee of a non-power
reactor (1) not acquire more HEU fuel if
LEU fuel that is acceptable to the
Commission for that reactor is available
when the licensee proposes to acquire
HEU fuel and (2) replace all HEU fuel
in its possession with available LEU fuel
acceptable to the Commission for that
reactor in accordance with a schedule
determined pursuant to 10 CFR
50.64(c)(2).
Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(i) requires,
among other things, that each licensee
of a non-power reactor authorized to
possess and to use HEU fuel develop
and submit to the Director of the Office
of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (Director)
by March 27, 1987, and at 12-month
intervals, thereafter, a written proposal
for meeting the requirements of the rule.
The licensee shall include in its
proposal a certification that Federal
Government funding for conversion is
available through the U.S. Department
of Energy or other appropriate Federal
agency and a schedule for conversion,
based upon availability of replacement
fuel acceptable to the Commission for
that reactor and upon consideration of
other factors such as the availability of
shipping casks, implementation of
arrangements for available financial
support, and reactor usage.
Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) requires the
licensee to include in the proposal, to
the extent required to effect conversion,
all necessary changes to the license, to
the facility, and to licensee procedures.
This paragraph also requires the
licensee to submit supporting safety
analyses in time to meet the conversion
schedule.
Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) also requires
the Director to review the licensee
proposal, to confirm the status of
Federal Government funding, and to
determine a final schedule, if the
licensee has submitted a schedule for
conversion.
Section 50.64(c)(3) requires the
Director to review the supporting safety
analyses and to issue an appropriate
enforcement order directing both the
conversion and, to the extent consistent
with protection of public health and
safety, any necessary changes to the
license, the facility, and licensee
procedures. In the Federal Register
notice of the final rule (51 FR 6514), the
Commission explained that in most, if
