SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the 
                    *Code of Federal Regulations*
                     (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of Construction Permits, CPTR-7 and CPTR-8, to Kairos for the two units of the proposed Hermes 2 test reactor facility. The construction permits, which are immediately effective, authorize Kairos to construct a test reactor facility, as described in Kairos's construction permit application, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. With respect to the construction permit application filed by Kairos, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that, among other things, there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the permits will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, that safety questions will be satisfactorily resolved by the completion of construction, and that, taking into consideration siting criteria, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to public health and safety, subject to the conditions listed in the construction permits. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that issuance of the license will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required by 10 CFR part 51, subpart A, have been made. Accordingly, the immediately effective construction permits were issued on November 21, 2024. II. Further Information The NRC prepared a Safety Evaluation (SE) as well as an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) that document the NRC's evaluation of Kairos's construction permit application and the NRC's findings. The Commission also issued its Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the mandatory hearing on November 20, 2024. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's “Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure,” details with respect to this 
                    ( print page 94768)
