Nuclear Regulatory Commission July 10, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an exemption in response to a request dated March 26, 2020, from the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1 (FCS), from the requirement to investigate and report to the NRC when OPPD does not receive notification of receipt of a shipment, or part of a shipment, of low-level radioactive waste within 20 days after transfer from the FCS facility. OPPD requested that the time period for it to receive acknowledgement that the shipment has been received by the intended recipient be extended from 20 to 45 days to avoid an excessive administrative burden as operational experience indicates that such shipments may take more than 20 days to reach their destination.
