Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 11, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a new Order superseding a previously issued Order to Waste Control Specialists, LLC., (WCS) on October 20, 2009 (2009 Order). The previous Order exempted WCS from the NRC's regulations concerning special nuclear material (SNM). The current action is in response to a request by WCS dated July 18, 2014.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to make technical corrections, including adding three inadvertently omitted addenda to Section XI, ``Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant Systems,'' of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code to the list of documents approved for incorporation by reference; and correcting a footnote number. This final rule is necessary to inform the public of these non-substantive changes to the NRC's regulations.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an exemption in response to a July 18, 2014, request from Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI), which requested an exemption from addressing enhancements to the Emergency Preparedness (EP) rules in their Combined License (COL) application. The NRC staff reviewed this request and determined that it is appropriate to grant the exemption but stipulated that the revised application must be submitted the earlier of either the NRC's resumption of EOI's application review or by December 31, 2015.
