Download as PDF 9756 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Notices II. Background As a result of the lessons learned from the accident at the Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff performed a systematic evaluation and inspection of selected fuel cycle facilities to (1) confirm that licensees are in compliance with regulatory requirements and facility-specific license conditions; and (2) to evaluate their readiness to address NPH events and other licensing basis events related to NPH. From December 2011 through May 2012, the staff conducted these inspections in accordance with NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2600/015, ‘‘Evaluation of Licensee Strategies for the Prevention and/or Mitigation of Emergencies at Fuel Facilities.’’ As a result of the TI inspection activities, the staff identified URI’s related to Part 70 requirements and the current licensing basis of these facilities. The URIs document the need to further evaluate whether licensees are in compliance with regulatory requirements regarding accident sequences resulting from NPH. The staff is issuing this ISG to provide additional guidance for addressing accident sequences that may result from NPH. This ISG will be incorporated into future revisions of Appendix D of Chapter 3 of NUREG 1520, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML020930033). Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of February, 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Craig Erlanger, Deputy Director, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and Environmental Review, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
