Fuel Qualification for Advanced Reactors
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft NUREG, NUREG-2246, ``Fuel Qualification for Advanced Reactors.'' The purpose of this NUREG report is to provide a fuel qualification assessment framework for use by applicants. Specifically, the framework provides objective criteria, derived from regulatory requirements, that when satisfied, would support regulatory findings for licensing.
PSEG Nuclear, LLC; Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No. 2
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR- 75, issued to PSEG Nuclear, LLC, for operation of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No. 2. The proposed amendments would revise Technical Specification (TS) actions for rod position indicators. This is a one-time change during the current operating cycle to support maintenance on the transformer supplying power to all of the Unit No. 2 rod position indicators.
GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC; Morris Operation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff received and is considering an application for the renewal of special nuclear materials (SNM) License No. SNM-2500, which currently authorizes GE- Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC (GEH), to possess, transfer, and store radioactive material at the Morris Operation. The renewed license would authorize GEH to continue to store radioactive material for an additional 20 years from May 31, 2022, the expiration date of the current license. Because this license renewal application contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.
Issuance of Multiple Exemptions in Response to COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

The exemptions are in response to the licensee's requests for relief due to the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE). The NRC is issuing a single notice to announce the issuance of the exemptions.
Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Inservice Testing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.175, ``Plant-Specific, Risk- Informed Decisionmaking: Inservice Testing.'' This RG has been revised to incorporate additional information since Revision 0 was issued, particularly information to be consistent with the terminology and defense-in-depth philosophy provided in RG 1.174, ``An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis,'' as well as to endorse a standard by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for Operations and Maintenance.
