2008–0091] 

Nuclear Innovation North America, 

LLC; South Texas Project, Units 3 and 

4 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Termination of licenses. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is terminating the 

South Texas Project (STP) Units 3 and 

4 Combined Licenses (COLs) designated 

as NPF–97 and NPF–98, and their 

included licenses to manufacture, 

produce, transfer, receive, acquire, own, 

possess, or use byproduct material. By 

letter dated June 22, 2018, Nuclear 

Innovation North America, LLC (NINA) 

requested that the NRC terminate the 

STP Units 3 and 4 COLs. Construction 

was not initiated for STP Units 3 and 4, 

and nuclear materials were never 

procured or possessed under these 

licenses. Consequently, the STP Units 3 

and 4 site is approved for unrestricted 

use. 

DATES: The termination was issued on 

July 13, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRC issued STP Units 3 and 4 

COLs, NPF–97 and NPF–98, to NINA 

and its co-applicants STP Nuclear 

Operating Company, NINA Texas 3 LLC, 

NINA Texas 4 LLC, and the City of San 

Antonio, Texas, acting by and through 

the City Public Service Board, for the 

STP Units 3 and 4 on February 12, 2016 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML16033A010). 

Since issuance of the licenses, NINA has 

not begun construction of Units 3 and 

4 or procured nuclear materials for use 

under the licenses. In NINA’s letter 

dated June 14, 2018 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML18176A019), NINA informed the 

NRC that it no longer plans to move 

forward with building STP Units 3 and 

4 and would consequently submit an 

application for termination of the 

licenses. By subsequent letter dated 

June 22, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18184A338), NINA requested 

termination of COLs NPF–97 and NPF– 

98 and their included title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

parts 30, 40, and 70 licenses for STP 

Units 3 and 4. 

II. License Termination 

Termination of COLs issued under 10 

CFR part 52 is controlled by 10 CFR 

52.110, ‘‘Termination of license.’’ As 

discussed in ‘‘Current NRC Staff Views 

on Applying the 1987 Policy Statement 

on Deferred Plants’’ (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML18065B257), the NRC staff does 

not apply the requirements for 

termination in 10 CFR 52.110 to plants 

that have not begun operation. 

Requirements for termination of the 

included licenses under sections 30.36, 

40.42, and 70.38 of 10 CFR include the 

submission of NRC Form 314 or 

equivalent information. The staff finds 

that NINA met these requirements 

through the information provided as 

part of its June 22, 2018, submission. 

Further, as there was no construction 

associated with the STP Unit 3 and 4 

licenses and nuclear materials have 

never been procured or possessed under 

these licenses, there is no need for a site 

radiation survey to be conducted under 

10 CFR parts 30, 40, or 70. With no 

radiological contamination associated 

with the licenses, the STP Unit 3 and 4 

site may be released for unrestricted use 

pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1402.

III. Environmental Review 

NINA seeks to terminate the STP Unit 

3 and 4 COLs for which construction 

never commenced and nuclear material 

was never procured or brought onsite. 

Terminating a COL is a licensing action 

that would ordinarily require an 

environmental assessment under 10 

CFR 51.21, unless a categorical 

exclusion in 10 CFR 51.22(c) applies 

and no special circumstances under 10 

CFR 51.22(b) exist. Actions listed in 10 

CFR 51.22(c) were previously found by 

the Commission to be part of a category 

of actions that ‘‘does not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment.’’ 

The categorical exclusion identified 

in 51.22(c)(20) includes: 

Decommissioning of sites where 

licensed operations have been limited to 

the use of— 

(i) Small quantities of short-lived 

radioactive materials; 

(ii) Radioactive materials in sealed 

sources, provided there is no evidence 

of leakage of radioactive material from 

these sealed sources; or 

(iii) Radioactive materials in such a 

manner that a decommissioning plan is 

not required by 10 CFR 30.36(g)(1), 

40.42(g)(1), or 70.38(g)(1) and the NRC 

has determined that the facility meets 

the radiological criteria for unrestricted 

use in 10 CFR 20.1402 without further 

remediation or analysis. 

This categorical exclusion captures 

decommissioning activities at sites 

where contamination from radioactive 

material is determined to be nominal. In 

the case of STP Units 3 and 4, no 

associated radiological contamination 

exists because construction never 

commenced and nuclear material was 

never procured or brought on site. As a 

result, a decommissioning plan for this 

site is not required by 10 CFR 

30.36(g)(1), 40.42(g)(1), or 70.38(g)(1), 

and the site meets the radiological 

criteria for unrestricted use in 10 CFR 

20.1402 without further remediation or 

analysis. Further, no special 

circumstances under 10 CFR 51.22(b) 

apply. The factors listed in 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(20) are consistent with the 

circumstances here because there is no 

environmental impact associated with 

the STP Unit 3 and 4 COLs, which is 

even less than the nominal impacts 

anticipated by the categorical exclusion. 

Therefore, application of the categorical 

exclusion to the termination of the STP 

Units 3 and 4 COLs is warranted. 

Consequently, in accordance with 10 

CFR 51.21, an environmental 

assessment is not required for the 

termination of COLs NPF–97 and NPF– 

98 and their included 10 CFR parts 30, 

40, and 70 licenses. 

IV. Conclusion 

As discussed above, the Commission 

has determined that the STP Unit 3 and 

4 COL termination request meets the 

categorical exclusion criteria set forth in 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(20) and that the 

unrestricted use criteria pursuant to 10 

CFR 20.1402 are met. The Commission 

grants NINA’s request to terminate the 

COLs designated as NPF–97 and NPF– 

98 and their included 10 CFR parts 30, 

40, and 70 licenses for STP Unit 3 and 

4. This license termination was effective 

upon NINA’s receipt of NRC’s 

termination letter, dated July 12, 2018 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML18179A217). 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day 

of July 2018.
