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.

application for renewal, see the
licensee’s letter dated November 19,

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,

• 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
