I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has received, by letter dated May
15, 2007, a license amendment
application from Nuclear Fuel Services,
Inc., requesting to increase the uranium235 possession limit at its facility site
located in Erwin, Tennessee. License
No. SNM–124 authorizes the licensee to
manufacture nuclear reactor fuel.
Specifically, the amendment provides
authorization to receive and store more
uranium-235 than the current license
permits.
An NRC administrative review,
documented in a letter to Nuclear Fuel
Services dated June 18, 2007, found the
application acceptable to begin a
technical review. If the NRC approves
the amendment, the approval will be
documented in an amendment to NRC
License No. SNM–124. However, before
approving the proposed amendment, the
NRC will need to make the findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and NRC’s
regulations. These findings will be
documented in a Safety Evaluation
Report and an Environmental
Assessment.

In addition to meeting other

state:
1. The name, address, and telephone
number of the requester;

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 to be filed, such as the
application, supporting safety analysis
report, environmental report or other
supporting document 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 impact statement,
environmental assessment, 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 shall be given a
separate numeric or alpha designation
within one of the following groups:
1. Technical—primarily concerns
issues relating to matters discussed or
referenced in the Safety Evaluation
Report for the proposed action.

issues relating to matters discussed or
referenced in the Environmental Report
for the proposed action.

concerns issues relating to matters
discussed or referenced in the
Emergency Plan as it relates to the
proposed action.

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.
If the requester/petitioner believes a
contention raises issues that cannot be
classified as primarily falling into one of
these categories, the requester/petitioner
must set forth the contention and
supporting bases, in full, separately for
each category into which the requester/
petitioner asserts the contention belongs
with a separate designation for that
category.
Requesters/petitioners should, when
possible, consult with each other in
preparing contentions and combine

Jkt 214001
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 10 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),
