SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC has issued renewed Facility
Operating License No. R–113, held by
the USGS, which authorizes continued
operation of the USGS GSTR, located in
the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood,
Colorado. The GSTR is heterogeneous
pool-type, natural convection, light-
PO 00000
Frm 00098
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
water cooled, and shielded TRIGA
reactor. The GSTR is licensed to operate
at a steady-state power level of 1,000
kilowatts thermal power and to pulse
the reactor with a maximum reactivity
insertion of $3.00. The renewed Facility
Operating License No. R–113 will expire
20 years from its date of issuance.
The renewed facility operating license
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s regulations in chapter I of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, and sets forth those
findings in the renewed facility
operating license. The NRC afforded an
opportunity for hearing in the Notice of
Opportunity for Hearing published in
the Federal Register on February 5,
2016 (81 FR 6302). The NRC received no
request for a hearing or petition for
leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety
evaluation report for the renewal of
Facility Operating License No. R–113
and concluded, based on that
evaluation, that the licensee can
continue to operate the facility without
endangering the health and safety of the
public. The NRC staff also prepared an
Environmental Assessment and Finding
of No Significant Impact for the renewal
of the facility operating license, noticed
in the Federal Register on June 14, 2016
(81 FR 38739), and concluded that
renewal of the facility operating license
will not have a significant impact on the
quality of the human environment.
