The purpose of the meeting is to

secrets and commercial or financial 

information obtained from a person and

BILLING CODE 7536–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–020] 

Massachusetts Institute of 

Technology; Notice of Acceptance for 

Docketing of the Application and 

Notice of Opportunity for Hearing 

Regarding Renewal of Massachusetts 

Institute of Technology Research 

Reactor Facility Operating License No. 

R–37 for an Additional 20-Year Period 

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

is considering an application for the 

renewal of Facility Operating License 

No. R–37, which authorizes the 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology 

(the licensee) to operate the 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology 

Research Reactor (MITR) at a maximum 

steady-state thermal power of 6 

Megawatts (MW) thermal power. The 

proposed action would renew Facility 

License No. R–37 for a period of twenty 

years from the date of issuance of the 

renewed license. The current license for 

the MITR expired on August 8, 1999. 

On July 8, 1999, the Commission’s 

staff received an application from the 

licensee filed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 

50.51(a), to renew Facility Operating 

License No. R–37 for the MITR. Because 

the license renewal application was 

filed in a timely manner in accordance 

with 10 CFR 2.109, the license will not 

be deemed to have expired until the 

license renewal application has been 

finally determined. 

The Commission’s staff has 

determined that the licensee has 

submitted sufficient information in 

accordance with 10 CFR 50.33 and 

50.34 that the application is acceptable 

for docketing. The current Docket No. 

50–020 for Facility Operating License 

No. R–37, will be retained. 

The docketing of the renewal 

application does not preclude 

requesting additional information as the 

review proceeds, nor does it predict 

whether the Commission will grant or 

deny the application. Prior to a decision 

to renew the license, the Commission 

will have made findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the Commission’s rules 

and regulations. 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person(s) 

whose interest may be affected by this 

proceeding and who wishes to 

participate as a party in the proceeding 

must file a written request via electronic 

submission through the NRC E-filing 

system for a hearing and a petition for 

leave to intervene. Requests for a
