NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has received, by
letter dated April 2, 2007, a license
renewal application from Global
Nuclear Fuel–Americas, LLC (GNF—A),
requesting renewal of License No.
SNM–1097 for its fuel fabrication
facility located in Wilmington, North
Carolina. License No. SNM–1097
authorizes the licensee to possess and
use special nuclear material for the
manufacture of fuel for nuclear power
plants.
The Wilmington facility has been
licensed by the Atomic Energy
Commission and its successor, the NRC,
to manufacture low-enriched uranium
fuel for nuclear power plants. The
license was renewed in 1997 for a
period of 10 years, expiring on June 30,
2007. By application dated April 2,
2007, GNF—A requested renewal of
their license for a period of 40 years.
The application addresses various
topics, including ones related to
emergency planning and physical
security. The NRC will review the
license renewal application for
compliance with applicable safety
requirements set forth in NRC
regulations in Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which
implement the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended. The license renewal
application included an Environmental
Report, which the NRC will review in
its evaluation of environmental issues,
as required by 10 CFR Part 51,
Environmental Protection Regulations
The National Science Board’s
Committee on Strategy and Budget,
pursuant to NSF regulations (45 CFR
part 614), the National Science
Foundation Act, as amended (42 U.S.C.
1862n–5 and 1863(k)), and the
Government in the Sunshine Act (5
U.S.C. 552b), hereby gives notice in
regard to the scheduling of a meeting for
the transaction of National Science
Board business and other matters
specified, as follows:
DATE AND TIME: Monday, June 18, 2007,
11 a.m.
SUBJECT MATTER: Discussion of the FY
2009 National Science Foundation
Budget.
STATUS: Closed.
This meeting will be held by
teleconference originating from the
National Science Board Office, National
Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd.,
Arlington, VA 22230. Please refer to the
National Science Board Web site
(https://www.nsf.gov/nsb) for

for Domestic Licensing and Related
Regulatory Functions, and the National
Environmental Policy Act.
An NRC administrative review,
documented in a letter to GNF-A dated
May 14, 2007 (ML071170603), found the
application acceptable to begin the
NRC’s more detailed technical review.
Because GNF-A filed the application for
renewal not less than thirty (30) days
before the expiration of the date stated
in the existing license, the existing
license will not expire until the
Commission makes a final
determination on the renewal
application, in accordance with the
timely renewal provision of 10 CFR
70.38(a)(1). If the NRC approves the
renewal application, the approval will
be documented in NRC License No.
SNM–1097. However, as indicated
above, before approving the proposed
renewal, the NRC will make the findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and NRC’s
regulations. The safety findings will be
documented in a Safety Evaluation
Report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received, by
letter dated April 2, 2007, a license renewal application from Global
Nuclear Fuel-Americas, LLC (GNF--A), requesting renewal of License No.
SNM-1097 for its fuel fabrication facility located in Wilmington, North
Carolina. License No. SNM-1097 authorizes the licensee to possess and
use special nuclear material for the manufacture of fuel for nuclear
power plants.
The Wilmington facility has been licensed by the Atomic Energy
Commission and its successor, the NRC, to manufacture low-enriched
uranium fuel for nuclear power plants. The license was renewed in 1997
for a period of 10 years, expiring on June 30, 2007. By application
dated April 2, 2007, GNF--A requested renewal of their license for a
period of 40 years. The application addresses various topics, including
ones related to emergency planning and physical security. The NRC will
review the license renewal application for compliance with applicable
safety requirements set forth in NRC regulations in Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which implement the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended. The license renewal application included an
Environmental Report, which the NRC will review in its evaluation of
environmental issues, as required by 10 CFR Part 51, Environmental
Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory
Functions, and the National Environmental Policy Act.
An NRC administrative review, documented in a letter to GNF-A dated
May 14, 2007 (ML071170603), found the application acceptable to begin
the NRC's more detailed technical review. Because GNF-A filed the
application for renewal not less than thirty (30) days before the
expiration of the date stated in the existing license, the existing
license will not expire until the Commission makes a final
determination on the renewal application, in accordance with the timely
renewal provision of 10 CFR 70.38(a)(1). If the NRC approves the
renewal application, the approval will be documented in NRC License No.
SNM-1097. However, as indicated above, before approving the proposed
renewal, the NRC will make the findings required by the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC's regulations. The safety findings
will be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report.

in the proceeding on the requester's interest; and
5. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is
timely in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1), a request for hearing or
petitions for leave to intervene must set forth with particularity the
contentions sought to be raised. For each contention, the request or
petition must:
1. Provide a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be
raised or controverted;
2. Provide a brief explanation of the basis for the contention;
3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is within
the scope of the proceeding;
4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is material
to the findings that the NRC must make to support the action that is
involved in the proceeding;
5. Provide a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinions which support the requester's/petitioner's position on the
issue and on which the requester/petitioner intends to rely to support
its position on the issue; and
6. Provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute
exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact. This
information must include references to specific portions of the license
renewal application (including, if applicable, the applicant's
environmental report and safety report) that the requester/petitioner
disputes and the supporting reasons for each dispute, or, if the
requester/petitioner believes the application fails to contain
information on a relevant matter as required by law, the identification
of each failure and the supporting reasons for the requester's/
petitioner's belief.
In addition, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions
must be based on documents or other information available at the time
the petition is filed, such as the application, supporting safety
analysis report, environmental report or other supporting documents
filed by an applicant or licensee, or otherwise available to the
petitioner. On issues arising under the National Environmental Policy
Act, the requester/petitioner shall file contentions based on the
applicant's environmental report. The requester/petitioner may amend
those contentions or file new contentions if there are data or
conclusions in the NRC draft, or final environmental analysis, or any
supplements relating thereto, that differ significantly from the data
or conclusions in the applicant's documents. Otherwise, contentions may
be amended or new contentions filed after the initial filing only with
leave of the presiding officer.
Each contention is to be given a separate numeric or alpha
designation within one of the following groups:
1. Technical--primarily concerns safety issues relating to matters
discussed or referenced in the Safety Evaluation Report for the
proposed action.
2. Environmental--primarily concerns environmental issues relating
to matters discussed or referenced in the Environmental Report for the
proposed action.
3. Emergency Planning--primarily concerns issues relating to
matters discussed or referenced in the Emergency Plan as it relates to
the proposed action.
4. Physical Security--primarily concerns issues relating to matters
discussed or referenced in the Physical Security Plan as it relates to
the proposed action.
5. Miscellaneous--does not fall into one of the categories outlined
above.
Requesters/petitioners should, when possible, consult with each
other in preparing contentions and combine similar subject matter
concerns into a joint contention, for which one of the co-sponsoring
requesters/petitioners is designated the lead representative. Further,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that
wishes to adopt a contention proposed by another requester/petitioner
must do so in writing within ten days of the date the contention is
filed, and designate a representative who shall have the authority to
act for the requester/petitioner.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309 (g), a request for hearing and/or
petition for leave to intervene may also address the selection of the
hearing procedures, taking into account the provisions of 10 CFR 2.310.
