NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 72
[Docket No. PRM–72–8; NRC–2018–0017]
Requirements for the Storage of Spent
Nuclear Fuel
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Petition for rulemaking; denial.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is denying a petition
for rulemaking (PRM), submitted by
Raymond Lutz and Citizens Oversight,
Inc. (the petitioners), dated January 2,
2018. The petitioners requested that the
NRC amend its regulations regarding
spent nuclear fuel storage systems to
embrace the Hardened Extended-life
Local Monitored Surface Storage
(HELMS) approach and identified
multiple revisions to accommodate such
an approach. The NRC is denying the
petition because the petitioners do not
present information that supports the
requested changes to the regulations or
that provides substantial increase in the
overall protection of occupational or
public health and safety. The NRC’s
current regulations and oversight
activities continue to provide for the
adequate protection of public health and
safety and to promote the common
defense and security.
DATES: The docket for PRM–72–8 is
closed on January 23, 2020.
