the 25 casks back to their original, preearthquake positions and spacing. If
approved, the proposed license
amendment would allow the casks to
remain in their current positions.
The NRC has assessed the potential
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action of amending SNM–
2507 TS 4.2.3, as well as the no-action
alternative, and has documented the
results in the final EA (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15022A575). The NRC
staff performed its environmental
review in accordance with the
requirements in 10 CFR part 51. In
conducting the environmental review,
the NRC considered information in the
license amendment application;
information in the responses to the
NRC’s requests for additional
information (RAIs); communications
with Dominion, the Virginia State
Historic Preservation Office, the
Virginia Department of Game and
Inland Fisheries and the Virginia
Department of Health; information from
the NRC inspections; and the NRC’s
independent analysis.
Approval of Dominion’s proposed
license amendment would allow the
casks to remain in place at their current
post-earthquake positions and spacing,
and no changes to Dominion’s operation
and maintenance of the NA ISFSI are
associated with the proposed action.
Because the proposed action would
authorize Dominion to leave the casks
in their current positions, rather than
taking action to return the casks to their
pre-earthquake positions, no significant
radiological or non-radiological impacts
are expected to result from approval of
the license amendment request, and the
proposed action would not significantly
contribute to cumulative impacts at the
NA site. There would be no
disproportionally high and adverse
impacts on minority and low-income
populations. The Virginia State Historic
Preservation Office concurred with the
NRC’s determination that the proposed
action would not affect historic
properties, and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service concurred with the
NRC’s determination that the proposed
action would not affect listed species or
critical habitats. Furthermore, the NRC
determined that the proposed action is
more favorable than the no-action
alternative (denial of the license
amendment request), which would
require movement of the casks back to
their pre-earthquake positions and
spacing. Thus, the NRC concludes that
the proposed action will not result in a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment.

III. Finding of No Significant Impact
Based on its review of the proposed
action, in accordance with the
requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the
NRC has concluded that the proposed
action, amendment of NRC Special
Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–
2507 for the NA ISFSI located in Louisa
County, Virginia, will not significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment. Therefore, the NRC has
determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31,
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not required for the
proposed action and a FONSI is
appropriate.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has received an
application from the Westinghouse
Electric Company, LLC (Westinghouse
or the licensee) to renew special nuclear
material (SNM) license number SNM–
1107 that authorizes Westinghouse to
manufacture nuclear fuel assemblies at
the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility
(CFFF) in Hopkins, SC, for use in
commercial nuclear power plants. The
license renewal would allow
Westinghouse to continue licensed
activities for 40 years from the date that
a renewed license is issued.
DATES: A request for a hearing or
petition for leave to intervene must be
filed by April 28, 2015.
