Nuclear Regulatory Commission April 9, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an exemption in response to a December 02, 2019, letter from Duke Energy Progress, Inc. (DEP), which requested an exemption from certain regulatory requirements for DEP to submit an update to the final safety analysis report (FSAR) included in its application for combined licenses (COLs) for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (Harris) Units 2 and 3 by December 31, 2019. The NRC staff reviewed this request and determined that it is appropriate to grant the exemption, but stipulated that the next update to the FSAR must be submitted prior to, or coincident with, the resumption of the COL application review or by December 31, 2024, whichever comes first.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.199, ``Anchoring Components and Structural Supports in Concrete.'' The guide was revised to endorse updated versions of the codes and standards that were endorsed in Revision 0 of the guide.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to its guidance document for alternative disposal requests, ``Guidance for the Reviews of Proposed Disposal Procedures and Transfers of Radioactive Material Under 10 CFR 20.2002 and 10 CFR 40.13(a).'' This document provides guidance and the NRC staff process for documenting, reviewing, and dispositioning requests received for alternative disposal of licensed material. The revision incorporates changes made in response to comments received on the draft guidance document, as well as interactions with NRC stakeholders.
