SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction By letter dated March 31, 2023, Maine Yankee submitted a request to the NRC for an exemption from paragraphs 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.75(h)(2) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) for the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).1 Maine Yankee has established a separate (segregated) account within its over-arching nuclear decommissioning trust (NDT), entitled ‘‘ISFSI Radiological Decom,’’ that identifies the funds for 1 As discussed in the referenced EA, the Maine Yankee ISFSI sits on the former site of the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station, which MYAPC finished decommissioning in 2005. Although only the Maine Yankee ISFSI remains on the site, Maine Yankee’s 10 CFR part 50 license, Facility Operating License No. DPR–36 remains in effect. Because the MYAPC requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, this would be an exemption for MYAPC’s 10 CFR part 50 license rather than for MYAPC’s 10 CFR part 72 general license. Therefore, although MYAPC’s submission requested an exemption for the Maine Yankee ISFSI, the NRC staff will consider it a request for an exemption for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station. PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14723 radiological decommissioning of the ISFSI apart from the larger balance of funds in the NDT allocated for ongoing management of spent nuclear fuel and Greater than Class C (GTCC) waste and for non-radiological site restoration activities. Although 10 CFR 50.82 applies to the segregated account, it does not apply to the overall NDT. If granted, the exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.75(h)(2) would permit MYAPC to make withdrawals from the segregated account, on an annual basis, for spent fuel and GTCC waste management and non-radiological site restoration without prior notification to the NRC. More specifically, with this exemption, MYAPC would be able to annually transfer funds exceeding 110 percent of the inflation-adjusted decommissioning cost estimate, described in 10 CFR 50.75, from the segregated account to its overarching NDT and use those funds for spent fuel and GTCC waste management and non-radiological site restoration. Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station began commercial operation in December 1972, and shut down in December 1996. Maine Yankee began decommissioning the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station in 1998. After ceasing reactor operations, MYAPC began transferring spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from the spent fuel pool to the Maine Yankee ISFSI for long-term dry storage. MYAPC completed these activities in 2004 and completed its final decommissioning of the reactor site, except for the ISFSI, which included dismantling and removing all reactor-related facilities, in 2005. As a result, only the ISFSI remains at the old plant site of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station in Wiscasset, Maine. By letter dated September 30, 2005 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML052380223), the NRC issued Amendment No. 172 to Facility Operating License No. DPR–36 to allow MYAPC to possess and store SNF at the permanently shut down and decommissioned facility under the provisions of 10 CFR part 72, subpart K, ‘‘General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites.’’ The NRC staff is performing both a safety evaluation and an environmental review to determine whether to grant this exemption request. The NRC staff will prepare a separate safety evaluation report (SER) to document its safety review and analysis. The NRC’s SER will evaluate the proposed exemption to ensure reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety, and the common defense and security.
