Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 2, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an order approving the transfer of the Master Decommissioning Trust for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3 and James A FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant from the Power Authority of the State of New York to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., amendments to the Master Decommissioning Trust Agreement dated July 25, 1990, as amended, governing the Master Trust to facilitate the transfer, and license amendments to the operating licenses of Indian Point and FitzPatrick to modify the existing trust-related license conditions to reflect the proposed transfer of the Master Trust and to delete other license conditions in order to apply the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is granting an exemption to allow a departure from the certification information of Tier 1 of the generic design control document (DCD) and is issuing License Amendment No. 56 to Combined Licenses (COL), NPF-93 and NPF-94. The COLs were issued to South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (the licensee); for construction and operation of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) Units 2 and 3, located in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The granting of the exemption allows the changes to Tier 1 information asked for in the amendment. Because the acceptability of the exemption was determined in part by the acceptability of the amendment, the exemption and amendment are being issued concurrently.
