SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Sensor Concepts & Applications, Inc.
(SCA) is a privately held company in
Glen Arm, Maryland. SCA possesses
and uses SNM in greater than critical
mass quantities for research and
development of radiation detection
instrumentation at its location in Glen
Arm, Maryland as well as other
locations selected by the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD). The
quantity of SNM possessed and used by
SCA requires an NRC-issued SNM
license pursuant to part 70 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), ‘‘Domestic licensing of special
nuclear material.’’
II. Discussion
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the NRC is
providing notice of the issuance of
renewal of a 10 CFR part 70 license,
SNM–2017, to SCA. The license
authorizes SCA to possess and use SNM
in support of the DOD, Defense Threat
Reduction Agency, and the United
States Army. The supporting activities
include concept demonstrations, test
and evaluation, characterization
evaluations, and operator training
activities to use technology to
demonstrate techniques to detect special
nuclear materials and clear alarms that
represent a non-threat.
SCA’s original license renewal
application for a 10-year license was
made by letter dated November 24,
2021. On February 1, 2022, the NRC
sent SCA an acceptance letter, noting
that the license renewal application
contained sufficient information for a
detailed technical review. SCA was also
notified that, since it filed its license
renewal application at least 30 days
before the license’s expiration date,
pursuant to the timely renewal
provisions in 10 CFR 70.38(a), SCA was
permitted to continue using its SNM in
accordance with the existing SNM–2017
license, pending a final decision by the
Commission on the license renewal
application.
On March 7, 2022, a notice of receipt
of SCA’s license renewal application
with an opportunity for the public to
request a hearing and petition for leave
to intervene was published in the
Federal Register (87 FR 12740). The
NRC did not receive a request for a
hearing or for a petition for leave to
intervene.
The license renewal application was
subsequently supplemented by letters
dated May 26, 2022, September 22,
2022, October 4, 2022, and November
17, 2022.
The NRC staff determined that SCA’s
proposed licensed activities meet the
categorical exclusion in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(14)(v) for the use of radioactive
materials for research and development
and for educational purposes. Therefore,
an environmental assessment and an
environmental impact statement are not
required for the renewal of the SNM–
2017 license.
The NRC finds that the renewed
license complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s
rules and regulations as set forth in 10
CFR chapter 1. Accordingly, the
renewed license issued on July 27, 2023,
is effective immediately. The NRC
prepared a safety evaluation report for
the renewal of License SNM–2017 and
concluded that the licensee can
continue to use and possess SNM in
accordance with its license without
endangering the health and safety of the
public, and that this action will not
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment for the duration of
the license.
III. Availability of Documents
Documents related to this action,
including the license renewal
application and other supporting
documentation, are available to
interested persons as indicated.
