SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Based upon the application dated
May 25, 2016, as supplemented January
20, 2017, February 28, 2017, June 5,
2017, July 10, 2017, and August 16,
2017, the NRC has issued a renewed
license to the licensee for the North
Anna ISFSI, located in Louisa County,
Virginia. The renewed license SNM–
2507 authorizes and requires operation
of the North Anna ISFSI in accordance
with the provisions of the renewed
license and its technical specifications.
The renewed license will expire on June
30, 2058.
The licensee’s application for a
renewed license complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the NRC’s rules and
regulations. The NRC has made
appropriate findings as required by the
Act and the NRC’s regulations in
chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets
forth those findings in the renewed
license. The agency afforded an
opportunity for a hearing in the Notice
of Opportunity for a Hearing published
in the Federal Register on August 23,
2016 (81 FR 57629). 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 the
ISFSI license and concluded, based on
that evaluation, the ISFSI will continue
to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part
72. The NRC staff also prepared an
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact for the renewal
of this license, which were published on
February 2, 2018 (83 FR 4932). The NRC
staff’s consideration of the impacts of
continued storage of spent nuclear fuel
(as documented in NUREG–2157,
‘‘Generic Environmental Impact
Statement for Continued Storage of
Spent Fuel’’) was included in the
environmental assessment. The NRC
staff concluded that renewal of this
ISFSI license will not have a significant
impact on the quality of the human
environment.
