Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Critical Experiments Facility; Notice of
Issuance of Renewed Facility
Operating License No. CX–22
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC, the Commission) has
issued renewed Facility Operating
License No. CX–22, held by the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (the
licensee), which authorizes continued
operation of the Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute Critical Experiments Facility
(RCF), located in Schenectady,
Schenectady County, New York. The
RCF is a tank-type, light-watermoderated, critical facility licensed to
operate at steady-state power levels up
to and including 100 watts thermal
power. The renewed Facility Operating
License No. CX–22 will expire at
midnight 20 years from its date of
issuance.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
The renewed facility operating 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
NRC’s regulations in Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
and sets forth those findings in the
renewed facility operating license. The
agency afforded an opportunity for
hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for
Hearing published in the Federal
Register on May 15, 2008 (73 FR 28170).
The NRC received no request for a
hearing or petition for leave to
intervene.
The NRC staff prepared a safety
evaluation report for the renewal of
Facility Operating License No. CX–22
and concluded, based on that
evaluation, that the licensee can
continue to operate the facility without
undue risk to the health and safety of
the public. The NRC staff also prepared
an Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact for
license renewal, noticed in the Federal
Register on June 14, 2011 (76 FR 34770),
and concluded that renewal of the
facility operating license will not have
a significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.
For details with respect to the
application for renewal, see the
licensee’s letter dated November 19,
2002 (ML023380455 and
ML072210835), as supplemented on
July 21 (ML082060048), July 28

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.;
Receipt of Request for Action
Notice is hereby given that by petition
dated March 28, 2011, Eric T.
Schneiderman, Attorney General for the
State of New York, the petitioner, has
asked the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) to take enforcement
action against Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc. (Entergy), and its
affiliates for violations of the agency’s
1980 fire safety regulations at Indian
Point Nuclear Generating Unit 1, 2, and
3. The petitioner asked the NRC to take
immediate action by issuing an order
that requires the following actions:
• Identify the violations of paragraphs
F and G of Section III of Appendix R,
‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear
Power Facilities Operating prior to
January 1, 1979,’’ to Title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 50,
‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ that exist as of
the date of the petition (i.e., March 28,
2011) at Indian Point Units 1, 2, and 3.
• Compel Entergy and its affiliates to
comply on or before September 20,
2011, with the requirements in
paragraphs F and G for all the fire zones
in Indian Point Units 2 and 3 and any
Indian Point Unit 1 fire zone or system,
structure, or component relied on by
Indian Point Units 2 and 3.
• Convene an evidentiary hearing
before the Commission to adjudicate the
violations by Entergy and its affiliates of
paragraphs F and G at Indian Point
Units 1, 2, and 3.
As the basis for the request, the
petitioner stated, in part, the following:
• The petitioner cited the population
centers adjacent to the Indian Point
facility. The petitioner described past
investigations by both the NRC Office of
Investigations and the Government
Accountability Office on fire barriers,
most specifically Thermo-Lag and
Hemyc. The petitioner implied that the
NRC staff has not been aggressive in
resolving fire barrier issues or in taking

meaningful enforcement action toward
Indian Point.
• The petitioner focused on the
exemptions to Appendix R to 10 CFR
Part 50 that the licensee submitted in
March 2009. The exemptions include
operator manual actions in a large
number of fire areas at Indian Point. The
petitioner stated that the regulations do
not authorize operator manual actions
as a means for protecting a redundant
system from fire. The petitioner
referenced the ongoing situation in
Japan and questioned whether plant
operators would be physically able to
perform these duties.
• The petitioner stated that (1) the
NRC should reserve exemptions for
extraordinary circumstances, (2) the
NRC should not approve the
exemptions, and (3) Entergy has not
made a serious effort to comply with
Federal regulations.
The NRC is treating the request under
10 CFR 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action
under This Subpart,’’ and has referred
the request to the Director of the Office
of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). In
accordance with 10 CFR 2.206, the NRC
will take appropriate action on this
petition within a reasonable period of
time. The petitioner met with the NRR
Petition Review Board on May 9, 2011,
to discuss the petition. The Petition
Review Board considered the results of
that discussion in its determination of
the petitioner’s request for immediate
action and in the establishment of the
schedule for the review of the petition.
A copy of the petition is available for
inspection at the NRC’s Public
