Additional Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a DG in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The DG, entitled ‘‘Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program,’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1391 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22006A317). This revision of the guide (Revision 1) addresses new guidance for implementing Option B ‘‘PerformanceBased Requirements’’ of Appendix J, ‘‘Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors,’’ of part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). Specifically, extending Type A test intervals up to 15 years, extending Type C test intervals up to 75 months, and an update to ANSI/ANS–56.8–2020 for acceptable industry standards on technical methods and techniques for performing Types A, B, and C tests. This proposed revised guide contains information specific for a leakage rate testing program for both older plants and newer reactors licensed under both 10 CFR parts 50 and 52. The staff is also issuing for public comment a draft regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML22007A009). The staff developed the regulatory analysis to assess the value of revising RG 1.163 as well as alternative courses of action. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Nov 16, 2022 Jkt 259001 III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The NRC is considering a renewal of License SNM–2500, issued to GEHitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC (GE-Hitachi), for operation of the Morris Operation ISFSI in Grundy County, E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM 17NON1 69054 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 221 / Thursday, November 17, 2022 / Notices Illinois. Therefore, as required by section 51.21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments,’’ the NRC performed an EA. Based on the results of the EA, the NRC has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the renewal and is issuing a FONSI. The NRC is also conducting a safety evaluation of the proposed license renewal. II. Environmental Assessment Description of and Need for the Proposed Action The proposed license renewal would allow GE-Hitachi to continue operations at the Morris Operation ISFSI. As proposed, GE-Hitachi would continue to store spent fuel in a wet (water) storage facility consisting of a cask-loading basin and two spent fuel storage basins. In accordance with its license, GEHitachi cannot receive additional spent fuel or replace any spent fuel currently in inventory at the ISFSI without prior NRC approval. Continued storage of the spent fuel and continued operation of the ISFSI is necessary because Congress has not yet established a permanent national repository, and no facility is yet available for monitored retrievable storage. The proposed action is in accordance with GE-Hitachi’s application dated June 30, 2020, as supplemented on February 26, 2021, March 19, 2021, March 24, 2021, January 27, 2022, and May 12, 2022. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action Approval of the proposed action is not expected to result in changes to current ISFSI operations. Routine operation of the ISFSI is largely passive; activities include continuation of existing monitoring and maintenance activities for the wet storage basins, which are inside a building. The proposed action would not result in any changes in water use or in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or nonradiological air effluents or wastes. GE-Hitachi would continue to operate onsite sanitary wastewater lagoons in compliance with its state-issued permit and would manage the radioactive wastewater system and solid radioactive wastes generated from ISFSI operations in accordance with NRC regulations. No wastewater would be discharged from the property. As a result of these continued ISFSI activities, no significant radiological or nonradiological environmental impacts are expected. Public and occupational dose estimates associated with the continued normal operation and maintenance of the ISFSI would continue to be at levels that are as low as reasonably achievable and within the limits of 10 CFR 20.1101 and 20.1201, respectively, as well as 10 CFR 72.104. The NRC staff also determined that the proposed action does not have the potential to cause effects on historic properties, assuming such historic properties were present. Accordingly, under 36 CFR 800.3(a)(1), no consultation is required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action As alternatives to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative) and the shipment of spent fuel to an offsite facility. Under the noaction alternative, GE-Hitachi would continue to maintain the spent fuel under NRC license at the ISFSI. Ultimately, GE-Hitachi would need to remove the spent fuel, transport it to another ISFSI, and decommission the Morris Operation ISFSI. Until that time, storage at the ISFSI would continue and the potential environmental impacts would be the same as those assessed for the proposed action. The NRC determined that shipment of the spent fuel to a commercial reprocessing facility, a Federal repository, or an interim storage facility is not a reasonable alternative to renewing the license because these facilities are not available in the United States as of the date of the EA. Agencies and Persons Consulted The NRC staff consulted with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. These agencies had no comments on the NRC’s assessment and conclusions in the EA. The NRC staff contacted the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to inform it of the proposed action, and the Illinois SHPO indicated its review of this project was not necessary. The NRC staff also notified 16 Federally recognized Indian Tribes of the proposed action. III. Finding of No Significant Impact Based on the EA, the NRC staff has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, preparation of an EIS is not required for the proposed action, and pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, a FONSI is appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is considering a renewal of License SNM-2500, issued to GE-
Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC (GE-Hitachi), for operation of the 
Morris Operation ISFSI in Grundy County,

[[Page 69054]]

Illinois. Therefore, as required by section 51.21 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Criteria for and identification 
of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental 
assessments,'' the NRC performed an EA. Based on the results of the EA, 
the NRC has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement 
(EIS) for the renewal and is issuing a FONSI. The NRC is also 
conducting a safety evaluation of the proposed license renewal.

II. Environmental Assessment

Description of and Need for the Proposed Action

    The proposed license renewal would allow GE-Hitachi to continue 
operations at the Morris Operation ISFSI. As proposed, GE-Hitachi would 
continue to store spent fuel in a wet (water) storage facility 
consisting of a cask-loading basin and two spent fuel storage basins. 
In accordance with its license, GE-Hitachi cannot receive additional 
spent fuel or replace any spent fuel currently in inventory at the 
ISFSI without prior NRC approval. Continued storage of the spent fuel 
and continued operation of the ISFSI is necessary because Congress has 
not yet established a permanent national repository, and no facility is 
yet available for monitored retrievable storage.
    The proposed action is in accordance with GE-Hitachi's application 
dated June 30, 2020, as supplemented on February 26, 2021, March 19, 
2021, March 24, 2021, January 27, 2022, and May 12, 2022.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action

    Approval of the proposed action is not expected to result in 
changes to current ISFSI operations. Routine operation of the ISFSI is 
largely passive; activities include continuation of existing monitoring 
and maintenance activities for the wet storage basins, which are inside 
a building. The proposed action would not result in any changes in 
water use or in the types, characteristics, or quantities of 
radiological or nonradiological air effluents or wastes. GE-Hitachi 
would continue to operate onsite sanitary wastewater lagoons in 
compliance with its state-issued permit and would manage the 
radioactive wastewater system and solid radioactive wastes generated 
from ISFSI operations in accordance with NRC regulations. No wastewater 
would be discharged from the property. As a result of these continued 
ISFSI activities, no significant radiological or non-radiological 
environmental impacts are expected. Public and occupational dose 
estimates associated with the continued normal operation and 
maintenance of the ISFSI would continue to be at levels that are as low 
as reasonably achievable and within the limits of 10 CFR 20.1101 and 
20.1201, respectively, as well as 10 CFR 72.104. The NRC staff also 
determined that the proposed action does not have the potential to 
cause effects on historic properties, assuming such historic properties 
were present. Accordingly, under 36 CFR 800.3(a)(1), no consultation is 
required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action

    As alternatives to the proposed action, the staff considered denial 
of the proposed action (i.e., the ``no-action'' alternative) and the 
shipment of spent fuel to an offsite facility. Under the no-action 
alternative, GE-Hitachi would continue to maintain the spent fuel under 
NRC license at the ISFSI. Ultimately, GE-Hitachi would need to remove 
the spent fuel, transport it to another ISFSI, and decommission the 
Morris Operation ISFSI. Until that time, storage at the ISFSI would 
continue and the potential environmental impacts would be the same as 
those assessed for the proposed action. The NRC determined that 
shipment of the spent fuel to a commercial reprocessing facility, a 
Federal repository, or an interim storage facility is not a reasonable 
alternative to renewing the license because these facilities are not 
available in the United States as of the date of the EA.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

    The NRC staff consulted with the Illinois Emergency Management 
Agency, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the Illinois 
Environmental Protection Agency regarding the environmental impact of 
the proposed action. These agencies had no comments on the NRC's 
assessment and conclusions in the EA.
    The NRC staff contacted the Illinois State Historic Preservation 
Office (SHPO) to inform it of the proposed action, and the Illinois 
SHPO indicated its review of this project was not necessary. The NRC 
staff also notified 16 Federally recognized Indian Tribes of the 
proposed action.

III. Finding of No Significant Impact

    Based on the EA, the NRC staff has determined that, pursuant to 10 
CFR 51.31, preparation of an EIS is not required for the proposed 
action, and pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, a FONSI is appropriate.

IV. Availability of Documents

    The documents identified in the following table are available to 
interested persons through one or more of the following methods, as 
indicated.
