List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1014, Renewed Amendment No. 16
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of September 9, 2024, for the direct final rule that was published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2024. This direct final rule amended its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the "List of approved spent fuel storage casks" to include Renewed Amendment No. 16 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014.
NUREG: Environmental Evaluation of Accident Tolerant Fuels With Increased Enrichment and Higher Burnup Levels
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing NUREG- 2266, "Environmental Evaluation of Accident Tolerant Fuels with Increased Enrichment and Higher Burnup Levels." This study evaluates the reasonably foreseeable impacts of near-term accident tolerant fuel (ATF) technologies with increased enrichment and higher burnup levels for light-water reactors (LWRs) (i.e., a bounding analysis). The final NUREG was revised based on public comments to reflect a bounding analysis of up to 10 wt% U-235 enrichment for the uranium fuel cycle and decommissioning to, among other things, add transportation impacts for half-batch reloads, and to provide clarification on the use of NUREG-2266 if exceeding 10 wt% U-235 for uranium fuel cycle and decommissioning, exceeding 8 wt% U-235 enrichment for the transportation of fuel and waste, or exceeding assembly averaged burnup levels of 80 GWd/MTU.
Monthly Notice; Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards Considerations
Pursuant to section 189a.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing this regular monthly notice. The Act requires the Commission to publish notice of any amendments issued, or proposed to be issued, and grants the Commission the authority to issue and make immediately effective any amendment to an operating license or combined license, as applicable, upon a determination by the Commission that such amendment involves no significant hazards consideration (NSHC), notwithstanding the pendency before the Commission of a request for a hearing from any person.
Renewing Nuclear Power Plant Operating Licenses-Environmental Review
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its environmental protection regulations by updating the Commission's 2013 findings on the environmental effect of renewing the operating license of a nuclear power plant. This final rule redefines the number and scope of the environmental issues that must be addressed during the review of each application for license renewal. As part of this update, the NRC is issuing Revision 2 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (LR GEIS), to account for new information and to address the impacts of initial license renewals, which the previous versions considered, as well as first subsequent license renewals. The LR GEIS, Revision 2, provides the technical basis for the final rule.
