SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The AJBRF was operated by the 

Omaha VAMC to support nuclear 

medicine and research programs 

conducted at the Omaha VAMC medical 

center. Between 1959 and 1965, the 

facility was funded as a national 

laboratory and employed approximately 

30 people. The AJBRF was primarily 

used for neutron activation of biological 

samples, but was also used for training 

Fort Calhoun Station nuclear power 

reactor operators. 

By letters dated September 21, 2004, 

August 15, 2011, March 8, 2012, May 

21, 2014, and November 12, 2014, 

(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML042740512, 

ML11255A334, ML12075A202, 

ML14150A404, and ML14335A597, 

respectively), Omaha VAMC submitted 

to the NRC an application for 

amendment of Facility Operating 

License No. R–57 for AJBRF. The 

application requested NRC approval of 

the AJBRF DP. 

Pursuant to § 50.82(b)(5) of Title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), the AJBRF DP was noticed in the 

Federal Register on June 20, 2012 (77 

FR 37074). The Federal Register notice 

provided opportunity for the public to 

provide comments, request a hearing, 

and petition for leave to intervene. No 

comments or other responses were 

received. The proposed DP contains 

additional information but has not 

changed substantially since the DP was 

noticed in 2012; therefore, a new notice 

was not required. Specifically, the 

release criteria were updated to refer to 

Inspection and Enforcement Circular 

81–07. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(b)(5), the 

NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed AJBRF demonstrates that the 

decommissioning will be performed in 

accordance with the regulations of 10 

CFR part 50 and will not be inimical to 

the common defense and security or to 

the health and safety of the public. The 

NRC staff’s conclusions have been 

documented in a Safety Evaluation 

Report (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14318A906). Therefore, the NRC has 

approved the AJBRF DP by amending 

Facility Operating License No. R–57. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day 

of January 2015.
