SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from March 1,
2024, to March 31, 2024, the NRC
granted 11 exemptions in response to
requests submitted by the following
licensees: Constellation Energy
Generation, LLC; Dominion Energy
Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.; Duke Energy;
Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp.; Energy
Northwest; Entergy Operations Inc.;
Florida Power and Light; Nextera
Energy Duane Arnold, LLC.;
Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC; and Vistra
Operations Company LLC.
These exemptions temporarily allow
the licensee to deviate from certain
requirements of part 73 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
‘‘Physical Protection of Plants and
Materials,’’ subpart T, ‘‘Security
Notifications, Reports, and
Recordkeeping.’’ In support of its
exemption requests, the licensees agreed
to effect site-specific administrative
controls that maintain the approach to
complying with 10 CFR part 73 in effect
prior to the NRC’s issuance of a final
rule, ‘‘Enhanced Weapons, Firearms
Background Checks, and Security Event
Notifications,’’ which was published in
the Federal Register on March 14, 2023,
and became effective on April 13, 2023
(88 FR 15864).
II. Availability of Documents

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is reviewing an exemption
request from Constellation, dated March
15, 2024. Constellation is requesting an
exemption, pursuant to section 72.7 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), in paragraphs
72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3),
72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.212(b)(11), and
72.214 that require Constellation to
comply with the terms, conditions, and
specifications of the CoC No. 1014,
Amendment No. 8, Revision No. 1. If
approved, the exemption would allow
Constellation to load four MPC–68M–
CBS beginning June 2024 in the HI–
STORM 100 Cask System at the QCNPS
ISFSI in a storage condition where the
terms, conditions, and specifications in
the CoC No. 1014, Amendment No. 8,
Revision No. 1, are not met.
II. Environmental Assessment
Background
QCNPS is located 32 kilometers (20
miles) northeast of the Quad Cities
Metropolitan Area of Davenport and
Bettendorf, Iowa, and Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline, Illinois. The
site is on the east bank of Pool 14 of the
Mississippi River, between Lock and
Dams 13 and 14 and approximately 810
kilometers (506 miles) upstream from its
confluence with the Ohio River. Both
Units 1 and 2 began operating in 1973.
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Constellation has been storing spent fuel
in an ISFSI at QCNPS under a general
license as authorized by 10 CFR part 72,
subpart K, ‘‘General License for Storage
of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites.’’
Constellation currently uses the HI–
STORM 100 Cask System under CoC
No. 1014, Amendment No. 8, Revision
No. 1, for dry storage of spent nuclear
fuel in a specific MPC (i.e., MPC–68M)
at the QCNPS ISFSI.
Description of the Proposed Action
The CoC is the NRC approved design
for each dry cask storage system. The
proposed action would exempt the
applicant from the requirements of 10
CFR 72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3),
72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.212(b)(11), and
72.214 only as these requirements
pertain to the use of the MPC–68M–CBS
in the HI–STORM 100 Cask System for
the near-term planned loading of the
systems. The exemption would allow
Constellation to load four MPC–68M–
CBS in the HI–STORM 100 Cask System
at the QCNPS ISFSI beginning June
2024, despite the MPC–68M–CBS in the
HI–STORM 100 Cask System not being
in compliance with the terms,
conditions, and specifications in the
CoC No. 1014, Amendment No. 8,
Revision No. 1.
The HI–STORM 100 Cask System CoC
provides the requirements, conditions,
and operating limits necessary for use of
the system to store spent fuel. Holtec
International (Holtec), the designer and
manufacturer of the HI–STORM 100
Cask System, developed a variant of the
design with continuous basket shims
(CBS) for the MPC–68M, known as
MPC–68M–CBS. Holtec originally
implemented the CBS variant design
under the provisions of 10 CFR 72.48,
which allows licensees to make changes
to cask designs without a CoC
amendment under certain conditions
(listed in 10 CFR 72.48(c)). After
evaluating the specific changes to the
cask designs, the NRC determined that
Holtec erred when it implemented the
CBS variant design under 10 CFR 72.48,
as this was not the type of change
allowed without a CoC amendment. For
this reason, the NRC issued three
Severity Level IV violations to Holtec.
Constellation plans to load four MPC–
68M–CBS in the HI–STORM 100 Cask
System beginning in June 2024. This
exemption considers the near-term
planned loading of the four canisters
with the CBS variant basket design.
Need for the Proposed Action
Constellation requested this
exemption in order to allow QCNPS to
load four MPC–68M–CBS in the HI–
STORM 100 Cask System at the QCNPS

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from March 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024, the NRC
granted 11 exemptions in response to requests submitted by the
following licensees: Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; Dominion
Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.; Duke Energy; Energy Harbor Nuclear
Corp.; Energy Northwest; Entergy Operations Inc.; Florida Power and
Light; Nextera Energy Duane Arnold, LLC.; Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC; and
Vistra Operations Company LLC.
These exemptions temporarily allow the licensee to deviate from
certain requirements of part 73 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,''
subpart T, ``Security Notifications, Reports, and Recordkeeping.'' In
support of its exemption requests, the licensees agreed to effect site-
specific administrative controls that maintain the approach to
complying with 10 CFR part 73 in effect prior to the NRC's issuance of
a final rule, ``Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and
Security Event Notifications,'' which was published in the Federal
Register on March 14, 2023, and became effective on April 13, 2023 (88
FR 15864).
