SUMMARY: On January 13, 2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 2425) announcing the reissuance and availability of Draft Regulatory Guide (DG)–1229, titled ‘‘Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors.’’ This Federal Register notice stated that electronic copies of DG–1229 were available in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) (https://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html), under Accession No. ML103350136 and that the regulatory analysis was available under ML103350166.

DPR–53 and DPR–69 which authorizes operation of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Calvert Cliffs). The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of two pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) located in Calvert County, Maryland. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.46, ‘‘Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors,’’ requires, among other items, that ‘‘[e]ach boiling or pressurized light-water nuclear power reactor fueled with uranium oxide pellets within cylindrical zircaloy or ZIRLO cladding must be provided with an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) that must be designed so that its calculated cooling performance following postulated lossof-coolant accidents [(LOCAs)] conforms to the criteria set forth in paragraph (b) of this section.’’ Appendix K to 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘ECCS Evaluation Models,’’ requires, among other items, that the rate of energy release, hydrogen generation, and cladding oxidation from the metal/water reaction shall be calculated using the Baker-Just equation. The regulations of 10 CFR 50.46 and 10 CFR part 50, Appendix K, make no provisions for use of fuel rods clad in a material other than zircaloy or ZIRLO. Calvert Cliffs intends to transition from the Westinghouse Turbo 14 x 14 fuel assembly design to the AREVA Advanced CE–14 HTP fuel assembly design beginning in 2011 for Unit No. 2 and 2012 for Unit No. 1. The AREVA fuel design consists of low enriched uranium oxide fuel within M5 zirconium alloy cladding. Since the chemical composition of the M5 alloy differs from the specifications for zircaloy or ZIRLO, a plant-specific exemption is required to allow the use of the M5 alloy as a cladding material E:\FR\FM\25JAN1.SGM 25JAN1
