Day Event/Activity 

20 ...................................... Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informs the requestor of the staff’s determination whether the request 

for access provides a reasonable basis to believe standing can be established and shows need for SUNSI. (NRC 

staff also informs any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by 

the release of the information.) If NRC staff makes the finding of need for SUNSI and likelihood of standing, NRC 

staff begins document processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents). 

25 ...................................... If NRC staff finds no ‘‘need’’ or no likelihood of standing, the deadline for requestor/petitioner to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s denial of access; NRC staff files copy of access determination with the 

presiding officer (or Chief Administrative Judge or other designated officer, as appropriate). If NRC staff finds 

‘‘need’’ for SUNSI, the deadline for any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding 

would be harmed by the release of the information to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s 

grant of access. 

30 ...................................... Deadline for NRC staff reply to motions to reverse NRC staff determination(s). 

40 ...................................... (Receipt +30) If NRC staff finds standing and need for SUNSI, deadline for NRC staff to complete information processing and file motion for Protective Order and draft Non-Disclosure Affidavit. Deadline for applicant/licensee to 

file Non-Disclosure Agreement for SUNSI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is providing notice 

of NRC consent to the indirect change 

of control and issuance of license 

amendments to Materials License 

Numbers SUA–1341, SUA–1569, and 

49–29384–01. Materials License SUA– 

1341 authorizes Uranium One USA, 

Inc., to possess uranium and byproduct 

material at its Irigaray and Christensen 

Ranch in situ recovery (ISR) project in 

Johnson and Campbell Counties, 

Wyoming. The project is currently in 

operating status, but is not producing 

uranium at this time. Materials License 

SUA–1569 authorizes Uranium One 

Americas, Inc., to possess uranium and 

byproduct material at its Moore Ranch 

ISR Project in Campbell County, 

Wyoming. The project was licensed on 

September 30, 2010, and is not 

producing uranium at this time. 

Materials License 49–29384–01 

authorizes Uranium One Americas, Inc. 

to possess byproduct material— 

specifically, sealed source of hydrogen3—in an amount not to exceed three (3) 

Curies (Ci) per source and 12 Ci in total 

for well logging. 

By letter dated July 20, 2010, Uranium 

One, Inc., Uranium One USA, Inc. and 

Uranium One Americas, Inc. 

(collectively, ‘‘Uranium One’’) submitted 

an application and license amendment 

request for approval of an indirect 

change of control of Uranium One USA, 

Inc.’s Materials License SUA–1341 for 

its Irigaray and Christensen Ranch 

Project (Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) 

accession number ML102090404). The 

July 20, 2010 submittal also referenced 

Uranium One’s materials license 

applications for Moore Ranch Project 

(Docket No. 40–9073), Jab & Antelope 

Project (Docket No. 40–9079), and the 

Ludeman Project (Docket No. 40–9095) 

as being affected by the change of 

control. Subsequently, Materials License 

SUA–1596 was issued to Uranium One 

Americas, Inc. for its Moore Ranch 

Project on September 30, 2010. In a 

separate submittal dated June 23, 2010 

(ML102100530), Uranium One 

submitted notification of an indirect 

change of control regarding its Materials 

License 49–29384–01. NRC has 

determined that the application 

constitutes a request for a license 

transfer and is collectively treating the 

July 20, 2010, and June 23, 2010, 

submittals as an application for the 

change of control of NRC licenses SUA– 

1341, SUA–1596 and 49–29384–01. 

The indirect change of control is a 

result of a share purchase transaction, 

wherein JSC Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ) 

(a Russian corporation) and its wholly 

owned subsidiaries Effective Energy 

N.V. (a Dutch limited liability company) 

and Uranium Mining Company (a 

Russian corporation), will acquire no 

less than 51 percent of Uranium One, 

Inc.’s (a Canadian Corporation) common 

shares. Uranium One, Inc. is the parent 

company of Uranium One USA, Inc. (a 

Delaware corporation) and Uranium 

One Americas, Inc. (a Nevada 

corporation), both NRC licensees. 

ARMZ is owned by JSC 

Atomenergoprom and JSC 

Atomenergoprom’s wholly owned 

subsidiary JSC TVEL. JSC 

Atomenergoprom is a wholly owned

01 was published on the NRC’s public 

webpage on October 1, 2010, with a 

deadline for submitting a request for 

hearing of November 30, 2010. While 

the deadline for requesting a hearing for 

Materials License 49–29384–01 has not 

expired, 10 CFR 2.1316 directs the staff 

to promptly issue approval or denial of 

transfer requests consistent with staff’s 

finding in the Safety Evaluation Report 

(SER). 

By Order dated November 23, 2010, 

NRC approved the indirect transfer of 

control of NRC Materials Licenses SUA– 

1341, SUA–1596, and 49–29384–01.

[Docket Nos. 50–282 and 50–306; NRC– 

2010–0324] 

Northern States Power Company— 

Minnesota, Prairie Island Nuclear 

Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2; 

Exemption 

1.0 Background 

Northern States Power Company, a 

Minnesota corporation (NSPM, the 

licensee) is the holder of Facility 

Operating License Nos. DPR–42 and 

DPR–60, which authorize operation of 

the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating 

Plant, Units 1 and 2 (PINGP). The 

licenses provide, among other things, 

that the facility is subject to all rules, 

regulations, and orders of the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC, the 

Commission) now or hereafter in effect. 

The facility consists of two 

pressurized-water reactors located in 

Goodhue County in Minnesota. 

2.0 Request/Action 

Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), § 50.12, 

‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ NSPM has, by 

letter dated November 24, 2009, as 

supplemented by letter dated May 26, 

2010 (Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System Accession 

Nos. ML093280883 and ML101480083, 

respectively), requested an exemption 

from 10 CFR 50.46, ‘‘Acceptance criteria 

for emergency core cooling systems for 

light-water nuclear power reactors,’’ and 

appendix K to 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘ECCS 

Evaluation Models,’’ (appendix K). The 

regulations in 10 CFR 50.46 contain 

acceptance criteria for the emergency 

core cooling system (ECCS) for reactors 

fueled with zircaloy or ZIRLOTM

cladding. In addition, appendix K to 10 

CFR part 50 requires that the Baker-Just 

equation be used to predict the rates of 

energy release, hydrogen concentration, 

and cladding oxidation from the metal/ 

water reaction. The Baker-Just equation 

assumed the use of a zirconium alloy 

different than Optimized ZIRLOTM. The 

exemption request relates solely to the 

specific types of cladding material 

specified in these regulations. As 

written, the regulations presume the use 

of zircaloy or ZIRLOTM fuel rod 

cladding. Thus, an exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.46 and 

Appendix K is needed to support the
