These indicators are both quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the characteristics of center personnel and students; sources of financial support and in-kind support; expenditures by operational component; characteristics of industrial and/or other sector participation; research activities; education activities; knowledge transfer activities; patents, licenses; publications; degrees granted to students involved in Center activities; descriptions of significant advances and other outcomes of the MRSEC effort. Such reporting requirements are included in the cooperative agreement that is binding between the academic institution and NSF. Each Center’s annual report will address the following categories of activities: (1) research, (2) education, (3) knowledge transfer, (4) partnerships, (5) shared experimental facilities, (6) diversity, (7) management, and (8) budget issues. For each of the categories the report will describe overall objectives for the year, problems the Center has encountered in making progress towards goals, anticipated problems in the following year, and specific outputs and outcomes. MRSECs are required to file a final report through the RPPR and external technical assistance contractor. Final reports contain similar information and metrics as annual reports, effectively they constitute the last annual report; the Program Officer maintains a cumulative database with all relevant achievements and metrics. Use of the Information: NSF uses the information to continue funding of the Centers, and to evaluate the progress of the program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC) is authorized to possess 
and use SNM under part 70 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear 
Material'' at its Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) located in 
Hopkins, South Carolina. The CFFF is licensed to possess and process 
enriched uranium up to a maximum of 5 weight-percent uranium-235 for 
the manufacture of nuclear fuel assemblies for use in commercial 
nuclear power reactors.

II. Discussion

    Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the NRC is providing notice of the 
renewal of License No. SNM-1107, which authorizes WEC to continue the 
manufacture of nuclear fuel assemblies for use in commercial nuclear 
power reactors at its location in Hopkins, South Carolina.
    WEC's request for the license renewal was previously noticed in the 
Federal Register (FR) on February 27, 2015 (80 FR 10727), with a notice 
of opportunity to request a hearing and to petition for leave to 
intervene. No requests were received.
    The NRC prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), 
NUREG- 2248, ``Environmental Impact Statement for the License Renewal 
of the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility in Richland County, South 
Carolina'' in support of WEC's license renewal application in 
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 51. The final EIS was 
noticed in the Federal Register on August 5, 2022 (87 FR 48044).
    The NRC determined that License No. SNM-1107 complies with the 
standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, and with the NRC's rules and regulations as set forth in 10 
CFR chapter 1. Accordingly, this license was issued on September 12, 
2022, and was effective immediately.
    The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal 
of License No. SNM-1107 and concluded that WEC can continue to operate 
the facility without posing an undue risk to the worker or to public 
health and safety.

III. Availability of Documents

    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,''
