Nuclear Regulatory Commission May 25, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a license amendment application from Cimarron Environmental Response Trust (CERT or the applicant) for the Cimarron Facility, located in the city of Guthrie, which is in Logan County, Oklahoma. The license authorizes Possession of Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Material (SNM-928). In this amendment request, CERT requests approval of its proposed Facility Decommissioning Plan (DP), Revision 3 for the Cimarron Facility. The requested license amendment is necessary for CERT to complete the remaining decommissioning activities needed for the NRC to release the Cimarron site for unrestricted use. The requested license amendment is also necessary to ultimately terminate SNM-928; however, license termination is a separate action that requires a separate application from CERT and a separate NRC finding that the site is suitable for release. Because the license application contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to this type of information for contention preparation.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DANU-ISG-2022- 06, Chapter 12, ``Post-Construction Inspection, Testing, and Analysis Program.'' The purpose of this proposed ISG is to provide guidance to assist the NRC staff in determining whether an application for a non- light water reactor (non-LWR) design that uses the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) process meets the minimum requirements for construction permits, operating licenses, manufacturing licenses, standard design approval, or design certifications.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DANU-ISG-2022- 01, ``Review of Risk-Informed, Technology Inclusive Advanced Reactor ApplicationsRoadmap.'' The purpose of this proposed ISG is to provide guidance to assist the NRC staff in determining whether an application for a non-light water reactor (non-LWR) design that uses the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) process meets the minimum requirements for construction permits, operating licenses, combined licenses, manufacturing licenses, standard design approval, or design certifications.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DANU-ISG-2022- 05, Chapter 11, ``Organization and Human-System Considerations.'' The purpose of this proposed ISG is to provide guidance to assist the NRC staff in determining whether an application for a non-light water reactor (non-LWR) design that uses the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) process meets the minimum requirements for construction permits, operating licenses, combined licenses, manufacturing licenses, standard design approval, or design certifications.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DANU-ISG-2022- 04, Chapter 10, ``Control of Occupational Dose.'' The purpose of this proposed ISG is to provide guidance to assist the NRC staff in determining whether an application for a non-light water reactor (non- LWR) design that uses the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) process meets the minimum requirements for construction permits, operating licenses, manufacturing licenses, standard design approval, or design certifications.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on its draft Regulatory Guide (DG-1404), ``Guidance for a Technology-Inclusive Content of Application Methodology to Inform the Licensing Basis and Content of Applications for Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Non-Light-Water Reactors.'' This DG is a proposed new regulatory guide to provide guidance to assist interested parties and prospective applicants for the development of content for major portions of their safety analysis reports required in applications for licenses, certifications, and approvals by the NRC to ensure that non-light water reactor (non-LWR) facility designs using the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) process meet the minimum requirements for construction permits, operating licenses, combined licenses, manufacturing licenses, standard design approval, or design certifications.
