Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 55 / Thursday, March 20, 2008 / Proposed Rules regard, the NRC has received, and expects to continue to receive, applications for licenses to build and operate new nuclear power plants. For these applications, the NRC assesses the validity of the value for radon-222 in the environmental report submitted by the applicant for a construction permit, early site permit, or combined license for a nuclear power reactor to determine any impacts to the environment. The NRC staff scales data to the model reactor described in NUREG–1437 to arrive at figure for the expected radon222 emissions resulting from the operation of the proposed plant. The health, safety and environmental impacts of the expected radon-222 emissions are evaluated on an application-specific basis, using the NUREG–1437 generic analysis and assessment.13 The NRC has determined that, at this time, revising the value for radon-222 in Table S–3, as requested in PRM–51–1, does not provide any benefit over the NRC’s current application-specific review. In Staff Requirements Memorandum COMGBJ–07–0002, dated August 6, 2007, the Commission agreed that PRM–51–1 should be closed. Conclusion For the reasons described above, the NRC finds that a rulemaking to revise the radon-222 value in Table S–3 is not necessary. The NRC’s prior deletion of the value for radon-222 in Table S–3 did grant, in part, the petitioner’s request regarding the value for radon-222. The Commission is now denying the remaining outstanding issue of the petitioner’s request by not revising Table S–3 to include a revised value for radon-222. Closing the petition does not preclude the NRC from taking future regulatory action to amend Table S–3. The NRC will continue to evaluate, as part of its annual review of potential rulemaking activity, the need to amend Table S–3. For the reasons cited in this document, the NRC denies this petition. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of March, 2008. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Luis A. Reyes, Executive Director for Operations. [FR Doc.
