The total transit time between when the trailer was released from the FCS facility until verification of receipt of the trailer at the Clive Disposal Site was 32 days. This was investigated by ES on behalf of FCS and reported to the NRC in a letter, dated February 19, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20078L422). In October 2019, FCS started a shipment of one of FCS’s original steam generators, again as a specialized over-the-road trailer shipment by ES, to the Clive Disposal Site. The transport started on October 24, 2019 and, at the time of the investigation, was estimated to arrive in Clive, Utah on December 8, 2019. The total estimated transit time between when the trailer was released from the FCS facility until verification of receipt of the trailer at the Clive Disposal Facility was 45 days. This was investigated by ES on behalf of FCS and reported to the NRC in a letter dated November 20, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19340A027). III. Discussion jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES A. The Exemption Is Authorized by Law The NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR 20.2301 allow the Commission to grant exemptions from the requirements of the regulations in 10 CFR part 20 if it determines the exemption would be authorized by law and would not result in undue hazard to life or property. There are no provisions in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (or in any other Federal statute) that impose a requirement to investigate and report on low-level radioactive waste shipments that have not been acknowledged by the recipient within 20 days of transfer. Therefore, the NRC concludes that there is no statutory prohibition on the issuance of the requested exemption and the NRC is authorized to grant the exemption by law. B. The Exemption Presents No Undue Risk to Public Health and Safety The purpose of 10 CFR part 20, appendix G, Section III.E is to require licensees to investigate, trace, and report radioactive shipments that have not reached their destination, as scheduled, for unknown reasons. Data on low-level radioactive waste shipments from FCS described above, found that shipments took longer than 20 days to reach the ES Clive Disposal Site in Clive, Utah once they left the FCS facility, but not longer that 45 days. This was not because they were lost, but simply a result of the complexity involved in shipping large components. In addition, the licensee VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:28 Jul 09, 2020 Jkt 250001 notes that shipping times beyond 20 days have been encountered due to issues not specifically related to the transport of large components, such as rail cars containing LLW in switchyards waiting to be included in a complete train to the disposal facility. Based on the history of low-level radioactive waste shipments from FCS, the need to investigate, trace and report on shipments that take longer than 20 days is therefore inappropriate. As stated in the request for exemption, for rail shipments, FCS will utilize an electronic data tracking system interchange, or similar tracking system, that will allow for monitoring the progress of the shipments by the rail carrier on a daily basis in lieu of the 20 day requirement, and will initiate an investigation as provided for in Section III.E after 45 days. Because of the oversight and monitoring of low-level radioactive waste shipments throughout the entire journey from FCS to a disposal or processing site noted above, it is unlikely that a shipment could be lost, misdirected, or diverted without the knowledge of the carrier or OPPD. Furthermore, by extending the elapsed time for receipt acknowledgment to 45 days before requiring investigations, tracing, and reporting, a reasonable upper limit on shipment duration is maintained if a breakdown of normal tracking systems were to occur. Consequently, the NRC finds that extending the receipt of notification period from 20 to 45 days after transfer of the low-level radioactive waste as described by OPPD in its March 26, 2020, letter would not result in an undue hazard to life or property. C. The Exemption Is Subject to a Categorical Exclusion With respect to compliance with Section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (NEPA), the NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, namely, the approval of the OPPD exemption request, is within the scope of the two categorical exclusions listed at 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(B) and 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(C). The proposed action presents (i) no significant hazards consideration, (ii) would not result in a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite; (iii) would not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; (iv) has no significant construction impact; (v) does not present a significant increase in the potential for or consequences from PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41631 radiological accidents; and (vi) requests an exemption that involves reporting requirements (10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(B)) as well as inspection or surveillance requirements (10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(C)). Therefore, no further analysis is required under NEPA. IV. Conclusions Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2301, the exemption is authorized by law and will not result in undue hazard to life or property. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants OPPD an exemption from 10 CFR part 20, appendix G, Section III.E to extend the receipt of notification period from 20 days to 45 days after transfer for rail or mixed-mode shipments of low-level radioactive waste from the FCS facility to a licensed land disposal or processing facility.
