Download as PDF 77198 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 183 / Friday, September 20, 2024 / Notices conclusions are documented in an environmental assessment and a safety evaluation, respectively. Based, in part, on these documents, the NRC found that the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission’s regulations have been met. The NRC also found that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that, among other things, there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the construction permit will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. On the basis of the foregoing, the NRC found that there is reasonable assurance that taking into consideration siting criteria, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to the health and safety of the public, subject to the conditions listed in the construction permit. Furthermore, the NRC found that ACU is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized and that the issuance of the construction permit will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC found that the applicable requirements of subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been satisfied. Accordingly, the immediately effective construction permit was issued on September 16, 2024. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of the exemption is attached. Dated: September 16, 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Michael Mahoney, Senior Project Manager, Plant Licensing Branch 4, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Attachment: Exemption NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Docket Nos. 50–250 and 50–251 Florida Power and Light Company; Turkey Point Nuclear Generating, Unit Nos. 3 and 4 Exemption I. Background Florida Power and Light Company (FPL, the licensee) is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–31 and DPR–41, which authorize operation of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating, Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). The license provides, PO 00000 Frm 00125 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 77199 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. The facility consists of pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. II. Request/Action By application dated November 15, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23320A028), FPL, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.12, ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ requested an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 50.46, ‘‘Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors,’’ to use AXIOM® fuel rod cladding at Turkey Point. The regulations in 10 CFR 50.46 are currently limited in applicability to the use of fuel rods with zircaloy or ZIRLOTM cladding. This exemption will allow FPL to use AXIOM® fuel rod cladding at Turkey Point. The special circumstances associated with the exemption request are that application of the regulation in this circumstance is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. III. Discussion The regulation in 10 CFR 50.46(a)(1)(i) states, in part, that: Each boiling or pressurized light-water nuclear power reactor fueled with uranium oxide pellets within cylindrical zircaloy or ZIRLO cladding must be provided with an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) that must be designed so that its calculated cooling performance following postulated loss-of-coolant accidents [LOCA] conforms to the criteria set forth in paragraph (b) of this section. ECCS cooling performance must be calculated in accordance with an acceptable evaluation model and must be calculated for a number of postulated loss-of-coolant accidents of different sizes, locations, and other properties sufficient to provide assurance that the most severe postulated loss-of-coolant, accidents are calculated. Since 10 CFR 50.46 specifically refers to fuel with zircaloy or ZIRLOTM cladding, its application to fuel clads with materials other than zircaloy or ZIRLOTM requires an exemption from this section of the regulations. The exemption request from the licensee relates solely to the types of fuel cladding materials specified in these regulations. As written, the regulations presume the use of zircaloy or ZIRLOTM cladding. Thus, an exemption is necessary to apply 10 CFR 50.46 to cladding materials (i.e., AXIOM®), other than zircaloy or ZIRLOTM cladding. The proposed E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM 20SEN1
