Items of Interest 

Week Ending December 4, 2015 

Mitigation of Beyond-Design-Basis Events: Correction; Parts 50 and 52 of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) (Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 3150-AJ49; 

NRC-2011-0189; NRC-2014-0240)

On November 30, 2015, the NRC published a document in the Federal Register (80 FR 74717) 

correcting a proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2015 

(80 FR 70609), proposing to amend NRC’s regulations that establish regulatory requirements 

for nuclear power reactor applicants and licensees to mitigate beyond-design-basis events. 

This action was necessary to correct an NRC docket identification number that was listed 

incorrectly. This correction was effective on November 30, 2015. 

Miscellaneous Corrections: Final Rule; 10 CFR Parts 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 

30, 32, 37, 40, 50, 51, 52, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 81, 95, 100, 110, 140, 150, 

170, and 171 (RIN 3150-AJ69; NRC-2015-0239)

On December 1, 2015, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (80 FR 74974) 

amending its regulations to make miscellaneous corrections. The changes include renaming 

the Office of Information Services, renaming the Computer Security Office and removing it as a 

standalone office, capitalizing the words “Tribe,” “Tribes,” and “Tribal,” correcting a Web site 

address, correcting a misspelling, removing a submission requirement, correcting an e-mail 

address, correcting a room number, removing a Federal Register notice requirement, and 

adding missing information collection references. This final rule is effective December 31, 2015. 

Uninterruptible Monitoring of Coolant and Fuel in Reactors and Spent Fuel Pools: 

Petition for Rulemaking; Notice of Docketing; 10 CFR Part 50 (Docket Nos. PRM-50-113; 

NRC-2015-0230)

On December 1, 2015, the NRC published a notice of docketing in the Federal Register 

(80 FR 75009) for a petition for rulemaking (PRM) from Dr. Alexander De Volpi (the petitioner), 

dated September 10, 2015. The petition was docketed by the NRC on September 21, 2015, 

and assigned Docket Number PRM-50-113. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend its 

“Domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities” regulations to require “installation of 

ex-vessel instrumentation for uninterruptible monitoring of coolant and fuel in reactors and 

spent-fuel pools.” The NRC is not requesting public comment on PRM-50-113 at this time.

Public Meeting on Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Fermi Unit 2 

On December 2, 2015, the staff held a public meeting in Monroe, Michigan, to discuss the 

preliminary findings of, and receive public comments on, the draft supplemental environmental 

impact statement (DSEIS) on the proposed renewal of the operating license for Fermi Unit 2. 

The preliminary finding of this report is that the adverse environmental impacts of license 

renewal for Fermi 2 are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energyplanning decision-makers. The public comment period will close on December 28, 2015. The 

staff plans to issue the final DSEIS in June 2016.
