NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 [Docket No. 50-156; NRC-2010-0203]


University of Wisconsin; Notice of Issuance of Renewed Facility 
License No. R-74

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
issued renewed Facility License No. R-74, held by the University of 
Wisconsin (the licensee), which authorizes continued operation of the 
University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor (UWNR), located in Madison, 
Dane County, Wisconsin. The UWNR is a pool-type, light-water-moderated 
and cooled TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope Production, General 
Atomics) reactor licensed to operate at a steady-state power levels up 
to and including 1 megawatt thermal and short duration power pulses 
with reactivity insertions up to 1.4% [Delta]k/k. The renewed Facility 
License No. R-74 will expire at midnight 20 years from its date of 
issuance.
    The renewed facility license complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's 
regulations in Title 10, Chapter 1, ``Nuclear Regulatory Commission,'' 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those 
findings in the renewed facility license. The agency afforded an 
opportunity for hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing 
published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34769-34774). 
The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to 
intervene following the notice.
    The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal 
of Facility License No. R-74 and concluded, based on that evaluation, 
the licensee can continue to operate the facility without endangering 
the health and safety of the public. The NRC staff also prepared an 
Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the 
renewal of the facility license, noticed in the Federal Register on 
September 16, 2010 (75 FR 56597-56601), and concluded that renewal of 
the facility license will not have a significant impact on the quality 
of the human environment.
    For details with respect to the application for renewal, see the 
licensee's letter dated May 9, 2000 (ML093570404), as supplemented on 
September 7, 2004 (ML093570441); October 17, 2008 (ML100740573); June 
16, 2010 (two letters, ML101690137 and ML101690083), July 8, 2010
