field season. The lack of infrastructure
available included the means to support
a safe operation to recover this waste
fuel drum. This was due to the lack of
skilled labor and the lack of ability to
stage a fuel cache between McMurdo
Station and the PIG camp (required due
to the extreme distance between
McMurdo Station’s airfield and the
location of the PIG camp).
During the 2014–2105 austral summer
season, the priority will be to remove
the hazardous waste drum at the PIG
field camp to McMurdo Station, where
it will be removed from the continent.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
AGENCY:
Notice of Permit Emergency Provision
Under the Antarctic Conservation Act
of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541)
National Science Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of permit emergency
provision for hazardous waste stored in
Antarctica at a location other than a
permanent station for more than 12
months due to an emergency, as
specified by § 671.17.
AGENCY:
The Program of Environment
Safety and Health in the Division of
Polar Programs in accordance with
§ 671.17, is giving notice that an
emergency relating to considerations of
human health and safety caused
hazardous waste to be stored in a
location other than a permanent station
for more than 12 months.
Hazardous waste in the form of one 55
gallon drum of waste fuel was packaged
for removal from the field camp at the
end of the 2012–2013 season. This
waste was to be removed during the
2013–2014 summer season.
Due to the October 2013 government
shutdown, the National Science
Foundation began an orderly shutdown
to ‘‘caretaker status’’ (i.e. the protection
of life and property only) of the United
States Antarctic Program (USAP). Once
the government was reopened, it was
impossible to support a normal summer

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–321 and 50–366; NRC–
2008–0585]
Southern Nuclear Operating Company,
Inc.; Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant,
Units 1 and 2; Exemption
1.0 Background
The Southern Nuclear Operating
Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee) is the
holder of the Renewed Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR–57 and
NPF–5 which authorize operation of the
Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1
and 2 (HNP). The licenses provide,
among other things, that the facility is
subject to the rules, regulations, and
orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) now or hereafter in
effect.
The HNP facility consists of two
boiling-water reactors located in
Appling County, Georgia.
2.0 Request/Action
Pursuant to § 50.12 of Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
Specific Exemptions, SNC has, by letter
dated April 23, 2013, requested an
exemption from the fuel cladding
material requirements in 10 CFR 50.46,
‘‘Acceptance criteria for emergency core
cooling systems [ECCS] for light-water
nuclear power reactors,’’ and Appendix
K to 10 CFR Part 50, ‘‘ECCS Evaluation
Models,’’ (Appendix K).
The SNC’s letter of April 23, 2013,
constitutes the licensee’s second request
for an exemption from the above fuel
cladding material requirements in order
to irradiate two GE14 Lead Test
Assemblies (LTAs) in the HNP. The
LTAs include a limited number of fuel
rods manufactured with an advanced
cladding alloy, known as Global Nuclear
Fuel (GNF) Ziron, which is outside of
the cladding materials specified in the
regulations (i.e. zircaloy or ZIRLOTM).
By letter dated November 7, 2008, the
NRC approved an earlier SNC request
for an exemption in order to irradiate
these two GE14 LTAs in the HNP Unit
2 reactor for cycles 21, 22 and 23. These
two LTAs have now completed
operation in cycles 21 and 22; however,
SNC decided not to include them in the
Unit 2 cycle 23 core loading in order to
allow sufficient time to perform poolside inspections. Since the original
exemption request applied only to the
operation of the LTAs in the Unit 2
reactor for cycles 21–23, SNC has
requested a second exemption in order
to continue irradiation of the LTAs in
either of the HNP reactors for one or
more additional cycles, up to GNF’s
approved peak pellet exposure.
