Items of Interest 

Week Ending June 26, 2015 

Regal Gadolinia-Uranium Low Burnup Spent Nuclear Fuel Assay Data

On June 17, 2015, as a result of a non-competitive solicitation, cost-reimbursement task order 

number NRC-HQ-60-15-T-0011 was issued under interagency agreement number NRC-HQ-60-

14-D-0005 to Oak Ridge National Laboratories, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The objective of the 

task order is to obtain isotopic radio-assay measurements of key nuclides for boiling water 

reactor burnup credit, especially at peak reactivity and low burnup reactor core exposures. The 

period of performance is from June 17, 2015, through February 1, 2019. The total cost ceiling is 

$612,000. 

Linear No-Threshold Model and Standards for Protection Against Radiation: Petition for 

Rulemaking; Notice of Docketing and Request for Comment; Part 20 of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) (NRC-2015-0057)

On June 23, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice of 

docketing and request for comment in the Federal Register (80 FR 35870) for three Petitions for 

Rulemakings (PRM) filed by Carol S. Marcus, Mark L. Miller, and Mohan Doss (the petitioners). 

The petitioners requests that the NRC amend its “Standards for Protection Against Radiation” 

regulations and change the basis of those regulations from the “linear no-threshold” model of 

radiation protection to the “radiation hormesis” model. These petitions were docketed and have 

been assigned Docket Numbers PRM-20-28, PRM-20-29, and PRM-20-30, respectively. Public 

comments are due by September 8, 2015. 

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International Storage Module

On June 23, 2015, the NRC published a direct final rule in the Federal Register (80 FR 35829), 

amending its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Holtec International, Inc., HI-STORM 

UMAX Canister Storage System listing within the “list of approved spent fuel storage casks” to 

add Amendment No. 1 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1040. The companion proposed rule 

was also published in the Federal Register (80 FR 35872) on June 23, 2015. This direct final 

rule is effective September 8, 2015, unless significant adverse comments are received by

confirming the effective date of June 29, 2015, for the direct final rule that was published in the 

Federal Register on April 15, 2015 (80 FR 20149). The direct final rule amended the NRC’s
