Request for a License To Export Reactor Components, 68514 [2011-28617]

Download as PDF 68514 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 214 / Friday, November 4, 2011 / Notices applied to reactors fueled with zircaloy clad fuel are also applicable to reactors fueled with M5 fuel rod cladding. The underlying purpose of 10 CFR part 50, appendix K, paragraph I.A.5 is to ensure that cladding oxidation and hydrogen generation are appropriately limited during a LOCA and conservatively accounted for in the ECCS evaluation model. Specifically, Appendix K requires that the Baker-Just equation be used in the ECCS evaluation model to determine the rate of energy release, cladding oxidation, and hydrogen generation. Topical Report BAW–10227(P)(A), Revision 1, demonstrated that the Baker-Just model is conservative in the evaluated postLOCA scenarios with respect to the use of the M5 advanced alloy as a fuel rod cladding material. Based on the above, the underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.46 and 10 CFR part 50, Appendix K is still met and literal compliance is not necessary for use of M5 fuel rod cladding. Therefore, the special circumstances required by 10 CFR 50.12 for the granting of an exemption from 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K of 10 CFR part 50 exist. 4.0 Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12 the exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common defense and security. Also, special circumstances are present. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants the licensee an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K of 10 CFR part 50. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (October 26, 2011; 76 FR 6633). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 31st day of October 2011. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Michele G. Evans, Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
