Definition of a Utilization Facility: Direct Final Rule; 10 Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 50 (Regulation Identifier Number 3150-AJ18; NRC-2013-0053)

On October 17, 2014, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (79 FR 62329) 

amending its regulations to add SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc.’s proposed acceleratordriven subcritical operating assemblies to the NRC’s definition of a ‘‘utilization facility.’’ In 2013, 

SHINE submitted a two-part construction permit application for a medical radioisotope 

production facility that SHINE proposes to build in Janesville, Wisconsin. This rule allows NRC 

staff to conduct an efficient and effective licensing review of the SHINE construction permit 

application and any subsequent operating license application. The companion proposed rule 

was also published in the Federal Register (79 FR 62360) on October 17, 2014. The final rule 

is effective on December 31, 2014.
