NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket NO. 50-170]

Notice of License Renewal Application for Facility Operating 
License; Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has received an application dated June 24, 2004, from 
the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI), filed 
pursuant to Section 104c of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 
(the Act), and 10 CFR 50.51(a), to renew Operating License No. R-84 for 
the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute TRIGA Mark-F reactor. 
AFRRI requested renewal of the license to authorize operation of the 
facility for an additional 20-year period beyond the period specified 
in the current operating license. The current operating license for the 
AFRRI reactor (R-84) expired on August 1, 2004. In accordance with 10 
CFR 2.109(a), the application for renewal was submitted at least 30 
days prior to the expiration of the existing license, and therefore the 
existing license will not be deemed to have expired until the 
application has been finally determined. The reactor is located on the 
grounds of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC), Bethesda, 
Maryland. The mission of AFRRI is to conduct scientific research in the 
field of radiobiology and related matters essential to the support of 
the Department of Defense. The acceptability of the tendered 
application for renewal and other matters including an opportunity to 
request a hearing, will be the subject of a subsequent Federal Register 
notice.
    Copies of the application are available electronically at NRC's 
Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html 
under accession number ML041800067. From this site, you can access the 
NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), which 
provides text and image files of NRC's public documents. Please note 
that on October 25, 2004, the NRC terminated public access to ADAMS and 
initiated an additional security review of publicly available documents 
to ensure that potentially sensitive information is removed from the 
ADAMS database accessible through the NRC's Web site. Interested 
members of the public may obtain copies of the referenced documents for 
review and/or copying by contacting the Public Document Room pending 
resumption of public access to ADAMS. The NRC Public Document Room is 
located at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD, and can be contacted at 
(800) 397-4209, (301) 415-4737 or by e-mail to: [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of November 2004.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Patrick M. Madden,
Section Chief, Research and Test Reactors Section, New, Research and 
Test Reactors Program, Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs,
