NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–255; NRC–2023–0200] 

Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact; 

Holtec Decommissioning International, 

LLC, and Holtec Palisades, LLC, 

Palisades Nuclear Plant 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of exemptions that would 

permit the licensee to reduce its 

emergency planning (EP) activities at 

the Palisades Nuclear Plant (Palisades). 

Specifically, Holtec Decommissioning 

International, LLC (HDI), one of the 

licensees of Palisades and an indirect 

wholly owned subsidiary of Holtec 

International (Holtec), requested an 

exemption on behalf of Holtec 

Palisades, LLC, the other Palisades 

licensee (hereinafter collectively 

referred to as the licensee) that would 

eliminate the requirements to maintain 

formal offsite radiological emergency 

plans, as well as reduce the scope of 

some of the onsite EP activities based on 

the reduced risks at Palisades, based on 

the submission of certifications for 

permanent cessation of operations and 

permanent removal of fuel from the 

reactor vessel at Palisades. However, 

requirements for an onsite radiological 

emergency plan and for certain onsite 

capabilities to communicate and 

coordinate with offsite response 

authorities would be retained. In 

addition, offsite EP provisions would 

still exist through State and local 

government use of a comprehensive 

emergency management plan process, in 

accordance with the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) 

Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 

(CPG) 101, ‘‘Developing and 

Maintaining Emergency Operations 

Plans.’’ The NRC staff is issuing an 

environmental assessment (EA) and a 

finding of no significant impact (FONSI) 

associated with the proposed 

exemptions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letters dated September 28, 2017, 

and October 19, 2017, in accordance 

with sections 50.4(b)(8) and 

50.82(a)(1)(i) of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ Entergy Nuclear 

Operations, Inc. (ENOI), which was the 

licensee at that time, notified the NRC 

that it had decided to permanently cease 

power operations at Palisades by May 

31, 2022. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii), by 

letter dated June 13, 2022, ENOI 

certified to the NRC that the fuel had 

been permanently removed from the 

Palisades reactor vessel and placed in 

the spent fuel pool (SFP). Upon the 

docketing of these certifications, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 

Palisades license no longer authorizes 

operation of the reactor or emplacement 

or retention of fuel into the reactor 

vessel. The spent fuel from Palisades is 

stored in the SFP and in dry cask 

storage at the onsite independent spent 

fuel storage installation, where it will 

remain until it is shipped offsite. 

By Order dated December 13, 2021, 

the NRC approved a transfer of the 

Palisades license from ENOI and 

Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC, to 

Holtec and HDI. This transfer was 

executed on June 28, 2022, such that 

HDI and Holtec Palisades, LLC became 

the licensees for Palisades. To address 

the upcoming transition from an 

operating plant to a permanently 

defueled facility, by letter dated 

September 24, 2018, the NRC issued an 

amendment authorizing ENOI to adopt 

a post-shutdown emergency plan (PSEP) 

and approving changes to the Palisades 

emergency plan to support the planned 

permanent cessation of operations and 

permanent removal of fuel from the 

reactor vessel. Upon implementation of 

the PSEP on June 15, 2022, the Palisades 

emergency response organization onshift and augmented staffing 

requirements were revised 

commensurate with the reduced 

spectrum of credible accidents for a 

permanently shut down and defueled 

nuclear power reactor facility. 

By letter dated July 11, 2022, the 

licensee requested exemptions from 

specific portions of 10 CFR 50.47, 

‘‘Emergency plans,’’ and appendix E, 

‘‘Emergency Planning and Preparedness 

for Production and Utilization 

Facilities,’’ to 10 CFR part 50 for the 

Palisades license. More specifically, HDI 

requested exemptions from certain 

planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) 

regarding onsite and offsite radiological 

emergency preparedness (REP) plans for 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2023 / Notices 88665 

nuclear power reactors; from certain 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) for 

establishment of plume exposure 

pathway and ingestion pathway 

emergency planning zones (EPZs) for 

nuclear power reactors; and from certain 

requirements in 10 CFR part 50, 

appendix E, section IV, ‘‘Content of 

Emergency Plans.’’ 

HDI’s requested exemptions would 

eliminate the NRC requirements to 

maintain formal offsite REP plans in 

accordance with 44 CFR, ‘‘Emergency 

Management and Assistance,’’ part 350, 

‘‘Review and Approval of State and 

Local Radiological Emergency Plans and 

Preparedness,’’ and would reduce the 

scope of the onsite EP activities at 

Palisades. The request by HDI is based 

on the reduced risks of an offsite 

radiological release at Palisades after 

permanent cessation of power 

operations and when all spent fuel has 

decayed for at least 12 months. The 

exemptions would maintain the 

requirements for an onsite radiological 

emergency plan and would continue to 

ensure the capability to communicate 

and coordinate with offsite response 

authorities. These exemptions will 

terminate if the status of the Palisades 

reactor changes such that the 

certifications of permanent cessation of 

operations and permanent removal of 

fuel from the reactor vessel are no 

longer applicable and the facility would 

be required to come into compliance 

with all applicable NRC regulations. 

The EP requirements of 10 CFR 50.47 

and appendix E to 10 CFR part 50 do 

not distinguish between operating 

reactors and those that have ceased 

operations and defueled. As such, a 

permanently shut down and defueled 

reactor must continue to maintain the 

same EP requirements as an operating 

power reactor under the existing 

regulatory requirements. To establish a 

level of EP commensurate with the 

reduced risks of a permanently shut 

down and defueled reactor, the licensee 

must seek exemptions from certain EP 

regulatory requirements before it can 

change its emergency plans. 

The NRC is therefore considering 

issuing to the licensee the proposed 

exemptions from portions of 10 CFR 

50.47 and appendix E to 10 CFR part 50, 

which would eliminate the 

requirements for the licensee to 

maintain offsite radiological emergency 

plans and reduce some of the onsite EP 

activities based on the reduced 

radiological risks as Palisades has 

permanently ceased power operations 

and all spent fuel has decayed for more 

than 12 months. 

Consistent with 10 CFR 51.21, 

‘‘Criteria for and identification of 

licensing and regulatory actions 

requiring environmental assessments,’’ 

the NRC has determined that an EA is 

the appropriate form of environmental 

review for the requested action. Based 

on the results of the EA, which is 

provided in Section II of this document, 

the NRC has determined not to prepare 

an environmental impact statement for 

the proposed action and is issuing a 

FONSI. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would exempt 

the licensee from: (1) certain standards 

as set forth in 10 CFR 50.47(b) regarding 

onsite and offsite emergency response 

plans for nuclear power reactors; (2) 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) to 

establish plume exposure and ingestion 

pathway EPZs for nuclear power 

reactors; and (3) certain requirements in 

10 CFR part 50, appendix E, section IV, 

which establishes the elements that 

make up the content of emergency 

plans. The proposed action of granting 

these exemptions would eliminate the 

NRC requirements for the licensee to 

maintain offsite radiological emergency 

plans in accordance with 44 CFR part 50 

and reduce some of the onsite EP 

activities at Palisades. However, 

requirements for certain onsite 

capabilities to communicate and 

coordinate with offsite response 

authorities would be retained. 

Additionally, if necessary, offsite 

protective actions could still be 

implemented using a comprehensive 

emergency management plan (CEMP) 

process. A CEMP in this context, also 

referred to as an emergency operations 

plan, is addressed in FEMA’s CPG 101. 

The CPG 101 is the foundation for State, 

territorial, Tribal, and local EP in the 

United States under the National 

Preparedness System. It promotes a 

common understanding of the 

fundamentals of risk-informed planning 

and decision making and assists 

planners at all levels of government in 

their efforts to develop and maintain 

viable, all-hazards, all-threats 

emergency plans. A CEMP is flexible 

enough for use in all emergencies. It 

describes how people and property will 

be protected; details who is responsible 

for carrying out specific actions; 

identifies the personnel, equipment, 

facilities, supplies, and other resources 

available; and outlines how all actions 

will be coordinated. A CEMP is often 

referred to as a synonym for ‘‘allhazards’’ planning. The proposed action 

is in accordance with the previously 

noted discussion in this notice and the 

licensee’s exemption request dated July 

11, 2022. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed action is needed for the 

licensee to revise the Palisades PSEP. 

Since the certifications for permanent 

cessation of operations and permanent 

removal of fuel from the reactor vessel 

have been docketed, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(2), the Palisades license no 

longer authorizes use of the facility for 

power operation or emplacement or 

retention of fuel into the reactor vessel 

and, therefore, the occurrence of 

postulated accidents associated with 

Palisades reactor operation is no longer 

credible. As the EP requirements do not 

distinguish between operating reactors 

and a power reactor that has been 

permanently shut down and defueled, 

the licensee requests an exemption from 

certain EP requirements commensurate 

with the radiological risks at the site. 

In its exemption request, the licensee 

identified four possible design-basis 

accidents (DBAs) at Palisades in its 

permanently shut down and defueled 

condition. These are: (1) a fuel handling 

accident in the reactor cavity; (2) an 

accidental release of waste gas; (3) an 

accidental release of waste liquid; and 

(4) a postulated cask drop accident. The 

licensee also considered the 

consequences of a beyond DBA 

involving a complete loss of SFP water 

inventory and no accompanying heat 

loss (i.e., adiabatic heat up). The NRC 

staff evaluated these possible 

radiological accidents, as well as the 

associated analyses provided by the 

licensee, in the Commission Paper 

(SECY)-23–0043, ‘‘Request by Holtec 

Decommissioning International, LLC for 

Exemptions from Certain EP 

Requirements for Palisades Nuclear 

Plant,’’ dated May 15, 2023. 

In SECY–23–0043, the NRC staff 

verified that the licensee’s analyses and 

calculations provided reasonable 

assurance that if the requested 

exemptions were granted, then: (1) for a 

DBA, an offsite radiological release will 

not exceed the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) early phase 

Protective Action Guides (PAGs) at the 

exclusion area boundary (EAB), as 

detailed in Table 1–1, ‘‘Summary Table 

for PAGs, Guidelines, and Planning 

Guidance for Radiological Incidents,’’ to 

the EPA’s ‘‘PAG Manual: Protective 

Action Guides and Planning Guidance 

for Radiological Incidents,’’ EPA–400/ 

R–17/001, dated January 2017; (2) in the 

highly unlikely event of a beyond DBA 

resulting in a loss of all SFP cooling, 

there is sufficient time to initiate 

appropriate mitigating actions; and (3) 

in the event a radiological release has or 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
88666 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2023 / Notices 

is projected to occur, there would be 

sufficient time for offsite agencies to 

take protective actions using a CEMP to 

protect the health and safety of the 

public if offsite governmental officials 

determine that such action is warranted. 

The Commission approved the NRC 

staff’s recommendation to grant the 

exemptions based on this evaluation in 

its Staff Requirements Memorandum to 

SECY–23–0043, dated December 7, 

2023. 

Based on the licensee’s analyses 

related to the reduced radiological risks, 

the licensee states that complete 

application of the EP regulations to 

Palisades 12 months after permanent 

cessation of power operations would not 

serve the underlying purpose of the 

regulations and is not necessary to 

achieve the underlying purpose of the 

regulations. The licensee also states that 

it would incur undue costs in the 

application of operating plant EP 

requirements for the maintenance of an 

emergency response organization in 

excess of that actually needed to 

respond to the diminished scope of 

credible accidents for Palisades 12 

months after its permanent cessation of 

power operations. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC staff has completed its 

evaluation of the environmental impacts 

of the proposed action. 

The proposed action consists mainly 

of changes related to the elimination of 

NRC requirements for the licensee to 

maintain offsite radiological emergency 

plans in accordance with 44 CFR part 

350 and reduce some of the onsite EP 

activities at Palisades, based on the 

reduced risks once the reactor has been 

permanently shut down for a period of 

12 months. However, requirements for 

certain onsite capabilities to 

communicate and coordinate with 

offsite response authorities will be 

retained and offsite EP provisions to 

protect public health and safety will 

still exist through State and local 

government use of a CEMP. 

With regard to potential 

nonradiological environmental impacts, 

the proposed action would have no 

direct impacts on land use or water 

resources, including terrestrial and 

aquatic biota, as it involves no new 

construction, land disturbance, or 

modification of plant operational 

systems. There would be no changes to 

the quality or quantity of 

nonradiological effluents and no 

changes to the plants’ National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System permits 

would be needed. In addition, there 

would be no noticeable effect on 

socioeconomic conditions in the region, 

no environmental justice impacts, no air 

quality impacts, and no impacts to 

historic and cultural resources from the 

proposed action. Therefore, there are no 

significant nonradiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

With regard to potential radiological 

environmental impacts, the proposed 

action would not significantly increase 

the probability or consequences of 

radiological accidents. Additionally, the 

NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed action would have no direct 

radiological environmental impacts. 

There would be no change to the types 

or amounts of radioactive effluents that 

may be released and, therefore, no 

change in occupational or public 

radiation exposure from the proposed 

action. Moreover, no changes would be 

made to plant buildings or the site 

property from the proposed action. For 

these reasons, there are no significant 

radiological environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered the 

denial of the proposed action (i.e., the 

‘‘no-action’’ alternative). The denial of 

the application would result in no 

change in current environmental 

impacts. Therefore, the environmental 

impacts of the proposed action and the 

alternative action are similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The proposed action does not involve 

the use of any different resources than 

those previously considered in the 

‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants: Regarding Palisades 

Nuclear Plant—Final Report,’’ NUREG– 

1437, Supplement 27, dated October 

2006. 

Agencies or Persons Consulted 

No additional agencies or persons 

were consulted regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. On September 21, 2023, the State 

of Michigan representative was notified 

of this EA and FONSI. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The licensee has proposed 

exemptions from: (1) certain standards 

in 10 CFR 50.47(b) regarding onsite and 

offsite emergency response plans for 

nuclear power reactors; (2) the 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) to 

establish plume exposure and ingestion 

pathway EPZs for nuclear power 

reactors; and (3) certain requirements in 

10 CFR part 50, appendix E, section IV, 

which establishes the elements that 

make up the content of emergency 

plans. The proposed action of granting 

these exemptions would eliminate the 

NRC requirements for the licensee to 

maintain offsite radiological emergency 

plans in accordance with 44 CFR part 

350 and reduce some of the onsite EP 

activities at Palisades, based on the 

reduced risks once the reactor has been 

permanently shut down for a period of 

12 months. However, requirements for 

certain onsite capabilities to 

communicate and coordinate with 

offsite response authorities will be 

retained and offsite EP provisions to 

protect public health and safety will 

still exist through State and local 

government use of a CEMP. 

The NRC is considering issuing the 

exemptions. The proposed action would 

not significantly affect plant safety, 

would not have a significant adverse 

effect on the probability of an accident 

occurring, and would not have any 

significant radiological or 

nonradiological impacts. This FONSI is 

a final finding and incorporates by 

reference the EA in Section II of this 

document. Therefore, the NRC 

concludes that the proposed action will 

not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

not to prepare an environmental impact 

statement for the proposed action.
