Attachment—Exemption NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Docket Nos. 72–78, 50–317, and 50–318 Constellation Energy Generation, LLC Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation I. Background Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation) is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–53 and DPR–69, which authorize operation of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2, in Lusby, Maryland, pursuant to part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.’’ The licenses provide, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) now or hereafter in effect. Consistent with 10 CFR part 72, subpart K, ‘‘General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites,’’ a general license is issued for the storage of spent fuel in an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at power reactor sites to persons authorized to possess or operate nuclear PO 00000 Frm 00120 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 power reactors under 10 CFR part 50. Constellation is authorized to operate nuclear power reactors under 10 CFR part 50 and holds a 10 CFR part 72 general license for storage of spent fuel at the CCNPP ISFSI. Under the terms of the general license, Constellation stores spent fuel at its CCNPP ISFSI using the HI–STORM Flood/Wind (FW) MultiPurpose Canister (MPC) Storage System in accordance with Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1032, Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1. II. Request/Action By a letter dated March 22, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML24082A008), Constellation requested an exemption 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 that require CCNPP to comply with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1 (ML15152A358). If approved, Constellation’s exemption request would accordingly allow CCNPP to maintain nine loaded and to load six MPCs with continuous basket shims (CBS) (i.e., MPC–37–CBS) in the HI– STORM FW MPC Storage System, and thus, to maintain and load the systems in a storage condition where the terms, conditions, and specifications in the CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1, are not met. Constellation currently uses the HI– STORM FW MPC Storage System under CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1, for dry storage of spent nuclear fuel in MPC–37 at the CCNPP ISFSI. Holtec International (Holtec), the designer and manufacturer of the HI– STORM FW MPC Storage System, developed a variant of the design with CBS for the MPC–37, known as MPC– 37–CBS. Holtec performed a nonmechanistic tip-over analysis with favorable results and implemented the CBS variant design under the provisions of 10 CFR 72.48, ‘‘Changes, tests, and experiments,’’ 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 is not the type of change allowed without a CoC amendment. For this reason, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV violations to Holtec (ML24016A190). Prior to the issuance of the violations, Constellation had loaded nine MPC–37– E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM 28MYN1

I. Discussion

    On March 28, 2024, TerraPower, LLC (TerraPower), on behalf of US 
SFR Owner, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of TerraPower, filed an 
application for a construction permit for a single-unit power reactor 
facility located in Lincoln County, Wyoming, pursuant to section 103 of 
the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, and part 50 of title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of Production and 
Utilization Facilities.'' The single-unit facility is to be identified 
as Kemmerer Power Station, Unit 1 and would be based on the TerraPower 
and General Electric-Hitachi Natrium reactor design which is a pool-
type sodium fast reactor using metal fuel.
    The application submitted on March 28, 2024, is available in ADAMS 
under Package Accession No. ML24088A059. Along with other documents, 
the ADAMS package includes the transmittal letter (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML24088A060), the preliminary safety analysis report (ADAMS Accession 
No. ML24088A065), and the environmental report (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML24088A072). The application was supplemented on May 2, 2024 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML24123A242). The information submitted by the applicant 
includes certain administrative information submitted pursuant to 10 
CFR 50.33, such as on financial qualifications; technical information 
submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.34; and the environmental report 
submitted pursuant to 10 CFR part 51, ``Environmental Protection 
Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.'' 
These notices are being provided in accordance with the requirements in 
10 CFR 50.43(a)(3).
    The NRC staff is currently undertaking its acceptance review of the 
application. If the application is accepted for docketing, a subsequent 
Federal Register notice will be issued that addresses the acceptability 
of the construction permit application for docketing and provisions for 
participation of the public in the permitting process.
