SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction Under section 2.106 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of COL NPF–95 to DTE and, under 10 CFR 51.102(c), the Record of Decision (ROD). With respect to the application for the COL filed by DTE, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, ML14296A540 ..............................................................

The NRC finds that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that there is reasonable assurance that the facility will be constructed and will operate in conformity with the license, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the Commission’s regulations. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that issuance of the license will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required by subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been made. Accordingly, the COL was issued on May 1, 2015, and is effective immediately. II. Further Information The NRC has prepared a Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document the information reviewed and NRC’s conclusion. The Commission has also issued its Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the uncontested hearing held on February 4, 2015, which serves as the Record of Decision ROD in this proceeding. The NRC also prepared a document summarizing the ROD to accompany its action on the COL application that incorporates by reference materials contained in the FEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC developed JLD–ISG–2015–01 to provide guidance and clarification to assist nuclear power reactor licensees with the identification of methods needed to comply with Phase 2 requirements in Order EA–13–109 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13130A067), ‘‘Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation under Severe Accident Conditions.’’ This ISG is not a substitute for the requirements in Order EA–13– 109, and compliance with the ISG would not be a requirement. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station reinforced the importance of reliable operation of containment vents for BWR plants with Mark I and Mark II containments. As part of its response to the lessons learned from the accident, on March 12, 2012, the NRC issued Order EA–12–050 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12056A043) requiring licensees to upgrade or install a reliable hardened containment venting system (HCVS) for Mark I and Mark II PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26303 containments. While developing the requirements for Order EA–12–050, the NRC acknowledged that questions remained about maintaining containment integrity and limiting the release of radioactive materials if licensees used the venting systems during severe accident conditions. The NRC staff on November 26, 2012, presented the Commission with options to address these issues in SECY–12– 0157, ‘‘Consideration of Additional Requirements for Containment Venting Systems for Boiling Water Reactors with Mark I and Mark II Containments’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML12325A704). In the staff requirements memorandum (SRM) for SECY–12–0157, dated March 19, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13078A017), the Commission directed the staff to: (1) Issue a modification to Order EA–12–050 requiring BWR licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA–12–050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions, and (2) develop a technical basis and rulemaking for filtering strategies with drywell filtration and severe accident management of BWR Mark I and II containments. The NRC subsequently issued Order EA–13–109 to define requirements and schedules for licensees for BWRs with Mark I and Mark II containments to install severe accident capable containment venting systems. In recognition of the relative importance of venting capabilities from the wetwell and drywell, a phased approach to implementation is being used to minimize delays in implementing the requirements originally imposed by Order EA–12– 050. Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions. Phase 2 involves providing additional protection during severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions. For implementation of Phase 1 order requirements, the NRC issued JLD–ISG– 2013–02 on November 14, 2013 (78 FR 70356), which endorsed, with exceptions and clarifications, the E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Under section 2.106 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of COL NPF-95 to 
DTE and, under 10 CFR 51.102(c), the Record of Decision (ROD). With 
respect to the application for the COL filed by DTE, the NRC finds that 
the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended, and the Commission's regulations have been met. The 
NRC finds that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies 
have been duly made and that there is reasonable assurance that the 
facility will be constructed and will operate in conformity with the 
license, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the Commission's 
regulations. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee is 
technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities 
authorized, and that issuance of the license will not be inimical to 
the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the 
public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required by subpart A 
of 10 CFR part 51 have been made.
    Accordingly, the COL was issued on May 1, 2015, and is effective 
immediately.

II. Further Information

    The NRC has prepared a Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) and 
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document the 
information reviewed and NRC's conclusion. The Commission has also 
issued its Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the 
uncontested hearing held on February 4, 2015, which serves as the 
Record of Decision ROD in this proceeding. The NRC also prepared a 
document summarizing the ROD to accompany its action on the COL 
application that incorporates by reference materials contained in the 
FEIS. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's ``Rules of 
Practice,'' details with respect to this action, including the FSER 
FEIS, Summary ROD, and accompanying documentation included in the 
combined license package, as well as the Commission's hearing decision
