Dated: January 31, 2023.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Yoira K. Diaz-Sanabria,
Chief, Storage and Transportation Licensing
Branch, Division of Fuel Management, Office
of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Yankee
Atomic Electric Company’s updated DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(c),
will not authorize changes to licensed operations or maintenance activities, or result in
changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or non-radiological
effluents released into the environment from the ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid
waste. Moreover, the approval of the updated DFPs will not authorize any construction activity, facility modification, or other land-disturbing activity. The NRC staff has concluded that
the proposed action is a procedural and administrative action that will not have a significant
impact on the environment.
The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSI’s licensed routine operations,
maintenance activities, or monitoring programs, nor does it require new construction or landdisturbing activities. The scope of the proposed action concerns only the NRC’s review and
approval of Yankee Atomic Electric Company’s DFPs. The scope of the proposed action
does not include, and will not result in, the review and approval of decontamination or decommissioning activities or license termination for the ISFSI or for other parts of the Yankee
Rowe. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the updated DFPs for the Yankee Rowe ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has concluded that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds
that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.

from TRISO–X, LLC to possess and use
special nuclear material for the
manufacture of high-assay low-enriched
uranium fuel at a fuel fabrication
facility, to be located in Roane County,
Tennessee. TRISO–X, LLC seeks a
special nuclear material license for a
term of 40 years to manufacture fuel,
consisting of coated uranium particles
enriched to less than 20 weight percent
uranium-235 (Uranium-235) for use in
advanced commercial reactors. Because

I. Introduction
TRISO–X, LLC (TRISO–X), a wholly
owned subsidiary of X-Energy, LLC,
notified the NRC via letter dated August
9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18226A091) of its plans to submit an
application for a specific license under
10 CFR part 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of
Special Nuclear Material,’’ to possess
and use special nuclear material for
processing and fuel fabrication at a
facility to be located in Oakridge,
Tennessee. Prior to submission of the
application, TRISO–X submitted an
exemption request via letter dated
February 4, 2022 (ML22039A050). The
requested exemption sought relief from
the requirements in 10 CFR 51.60(a),
‘‘Environmental report—materials
licenses’’ and 10 CFR 70.21(f), ‘‘Filing’’
to allow TRISO–X to submit the safety
and safeguards analysis report (SAR) in
advance of the environmental report
(ER). The NRC staff approved the
exemption request via letter dated
March 17, 2022 (ML22055A560).
TRISO–X submitted the SAR on April
5, 2022 (ML22101A200) and
