$1.06 billion, the associated insurance 

premiums would be in excess of those 

necessary and commensurate with the 

radiological contamination risks posed 

by the site. In addition, such insurance 

levels would be significantly in excess 

of other decommissioning reactor 

facilities that have been granted similar 

exemptions by the NRC. 

The NRC staff finds that compliance 

with the existing rule would result in an 

undue hardship or other costs that are 

significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted and are significantly in excess 

of those incurred by others similarly 

situated. Therefore, the special 

circumstances required by 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii) 

exist. 

E. Environmental Considerations 

The NRC’s approval of an exemption 

from insurance or indemnity 

requirements belongs to a category of 

actions that the Commission, by rule or 

regulation, has declared to be a 

categorical exclusion after first finding 

that the category of actions does not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. Specifically, the 

exemption is categorically excluded 

from the requirement to prepare an 

environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). 

Under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), granting 

of an exemption from the requirements 

of any regulation of Chapter I to 10 CFR 

is a categorical exclusion provided that: 

(i) there is no significant hazards 

consideration; (ii) there is no significant 

change in the types or significant 

increase in the amounts of any effluents 

that may be released offsite; (iii) there is 

no significant increase in individual or 

cumulative public or occupational 

radiation exposure; (iv) there is no 

significant construction impact; (v) 

there is no significant increase in the 

potential for or consequences from 

radiological accidents; and (vi) the 

requirements from which an exemption 

is sought involve surety, insurance, or 

indemnity requirements. 

As the Director of the Division of 

Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, 

and Waste Programs in the NRC’s Office 

of Nuclear Material Safety and 

Safeguards, I have determined that 

approval of the exemption request 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration, as defined in 10 CFR 

50.92, because reducing the licensee’s 

onsite property damage insurance for 

Palisades does not: (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated; (2) create the possibility of a 

new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated; or 

(3) involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. The exempted 

financial protection regulation is 

unrelated to the operation of Palisades 

or site activities. Accordingly, there is 

no significant change in the types or 

significant increase in the amounts of 

any effluents that may be released 

offsite and no significant increase in 

individual or cumulative public or 

occupational radiation exposure. The 

exempted regulation is not associated 

with construction so there is no 

significant construction impact. The 

exempted regulation does not concern 

the source term (i.e., potential amount 

of radiation in an accident) nor any 

activities conducted at the site. 

Therefore, there is no significant 

increase in the potential for, or 

consequences of, a radiological 

accident. In addition, there would be no 

significant impacts to biota, water 

resources, historic properties, cultural 

resources, or socioeconomic conditions 

in the region resulting from issuance of 

the requested exemption. The 

requirement for onsite property damage 

insurance involves surety, insurance, 

and indemnity matters only. 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 

51.22(b) and 51.22(c)(25), no 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment need be 

prepared in connection with the 

approval of this exemption request. 

IV. Conclusions 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by 

law, will not present an undue risk to 

the public health and safety, and is 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present as set forth in 

10 CFR 50.12. 

Therefore, the Commission hereby 

grants Holtec Palisades and HDI an 

exemption from the requirements of 10 

CFR 50.54(w)(1) for Palisades. Palisades 

permanently ceased power operations 

on May 20, 2022. The exemption 

permits Palisades to lower the minimum 

required onsite insurance to $50 million 

12 months after permanent cessation of 

power operations, which was May 20, 

2023. Because this period had already 

elapsed, the exemption is effective upon 

issuance. 

Dated this 21st day of December, 2023. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Decommissioning, 

Uranium, Recovery, and Waste Programs,

Safeguards.
