Notice of Renewal of Facility License No. R-88; Kansas State University TRIGA Research Reactor, 15012-15013 [E8-5643]

Download as PDF 15012 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 55 / Thursday, March 20, 2008 / Notices impacts because the proposed exemption is an administrative action that will not affect the physical design or operation of the Diablo Canyon ISFSI. Therefore, there are no radiological or non-radiological impacts from a onetime delay in submitting the updated FSAR, and the staff finds that the proposed exemption will not have any significant environmental impact. Environmental Impacts of the Alternative to the Proposed Action As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative). Approval or denial of the exemption request would result in no change in the environmental impacts described in the October 24, 2003 EA and its Supplement. Therefore, the environmental impacts of the proposed action and the alternative action are similar. Conclusion The staff has reviewed the exemption request submitted by PG&E and has determined that allowing the licensee to delay the submittal of the updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the Diablo Canyon ISFSI by no more than approximately 100 days beyond the date required by 10 CFR 72.70(c)(6) is an administrative change, and would have no significant effect on the human environment. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Agencies and Persons Consulted On March 10, 2008, Ms. Barbara Byron of the California Energy Commission was contacted regarding the environmental assessment for the proposed exemption and Ms. Byron had no comments. The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action is solely of a procedural nature and will not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, no consultation is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. The NRC staff has also determined that the proposed action is not the type of activity that has the potential to cause effects on historic properties, assuming such historic properties were present at the Diablo Canyon ISFSI. Therefore, no consultation is required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. III. Finding of No Significant Impact The environmental impacts of the proposed action have been reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in 10 CFR part 51. Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC finds that the proposed action of granting the exemption from 10 CFR VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:44 Mar 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 72.70(c)(6), so that PG&E may delay the submittal of the updated FSAR for the Diablo Canyon ISFSI, will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.31 and 51.119(a), the NRC has determined that a Final Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate, and that an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption is not necessary.

The facility is a research reactor that has been operating at a power level not in excess of 250 kilowatts (thermal). The renewed Facility License No. R–88 PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 allows operation at an increased power level not in excess of 1,250 kilowatts (thermal), and will expire twenty years from its effective date. The renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission’s rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I. Those findings are set forth in the license renewal. Opportunity for hearing was afforded in the notice of the proposed issuance of this renewal in the Federal Register on October 6, 2005 (70 FR 58487) and on August 2, 2006 (71 FR 43816). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed following notice of the proposed action. Continued operation of the reactor will not require alteration of buildings or structures, will not lead to significant changes in effluents released from the facility to the environment, will not increase the probability or consequences of accidents, and will not involve any unresolved issues concerning alternative uses of available resources. Based on the foregoing and on the Environmental Assessment, the Commission concludes that renewal of the license and power increase will not results in any significant environmental impacts. The Commission has prepared a ‘‘Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Renewal of the Facility License for the TRIGA Research Reactor at the Kansas State University’’ for the renewal of Facility License No. R–88 and has, based on that evaluation, concluded that the facility can continue to be operated by the licensee without endangering the health and safety of the public.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-188]


Notice of Renewal of Facility License No. R-88; Kansas State 
University TRIGA Research Reactor

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
renewed Facility License No. R-88 for the Kansas State University (the 
licensee), for operation of the Kansas State University TRIGA Research 
Reactor Facility located in Manhattan, Kansas.
    The facility is a research reactor that has been operating at a 
power level not in excess of 250 kilowatts (thermal). The renewed 
Facility License No. R-88 allows operation at an increased power level 
not in excess of 1,250 kilowatts (thermal), and will expire twenty 
years from its effective date.
    The renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 
Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate 
findings as required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in 10 
CFR Chapter I. Those findings are set forth in the license renewal. 
Opportunity for hearing was afforded in the notice of the proposed 
issuance of this renewal in the Federal Register on October 6, 2005 (70 
FR 58487) and on August 2, 2006 (71 FR 43816). No request for a hearing 
or petition for leave to intervene was filed following notice of the 
proposed action.
    Continued operation of the reactor will not require alteration of 
buildings or structures, will not lead to significant changes in 
effluents released from the facility to the environment, will not 
increase the probability or consequences of accidents, and will not 
involve any unresolved issues concerning alternative uses of available 
resources. Based on the foregoing and on the Environmental Assessment, 
the Commission concludes that renewal of the license and power increase 
will not results in any significant environmental impacts.
    The Commission has prepared a ``Safety Evaluation Report Related to 
the Renewal of the Facility License for the TRIGA Research Reactor at 
the Kansas State University'' for the renewal of Facility License No. 
R-88 and has, based on that evaluation, concluded that the facility can 
continue to be operated by the licensee without endangering the health 
and safety of the public.
    The Commission also prepared an Environmental Assessment which was 
published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2008 (73 FR 10308) 
for the renewal of Facility License No. R-88 and has concluded that 
this action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the 
human environment.
    For further details with respect to this action, see: (1) The 
application for amendment dated September 12, 2002, as supplemented on 
November 11, 2002, November 13, 2002, December 21, 2004, July 6, 2005,

October 11, 2007, and February 6, 2008; (2) Renewal of Facility License 
No. R-88; (3) the related Safety Evaluation Report; and (4) the
