SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

issuance of a license amendment to 

Byproduct Materials License No. 37–

17860–02. This license is held by the 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection, Bureau of 

Radiation Protection (PADEP, BRP) (the 

Licensee), for its Quehanna Facility (the 

Facility), located in Karthaus, 

Pennsylvania. Issuance of the 

amendment would incorporate revision 

four of the Decommissioning Plan (DP) 

into the license to allow completion of 

decommissioning activities at the site 

and eventual unrestricted release of the 

Facility. 

The Quehanna Facility is located near 

Karthaus, Clearfield County, 

Pennsylvania, in the Quehanna Wild 

Area of the Moshannon State Forest. 

The site is approximately seven acres in 

size, and the area is heavily wooded and 

sparsely populated. The land in the 

vicinity of the Facility is used for 

recreational activities, including hiking, 

camping, and hunting. The site contains 

one large building, several smaller 

buildings, asphalt parking lots and 

driveways, a septic system leach field 

used for sanitary sewer waste, and an 

approximately one acre pond. The main 

building was constructed to house a 

pool reactor and associated laboratories,
