SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of 

exemptions from specific emergency 

planning (EP) requirements of part 50 of 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) for license nos. 

DPR–39 and DPR–48, issued to 

ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS, the licensee), 

for the Zion Nuclear Power Station 

(ZNPS), Units 1 and 2. Therefore, as 

required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC 

performed an environmental 

assessment. Based on the results of the 

environmental assessment that follows, 

the NRC has determined not to prepare 

an environmental impact statement for 

the exemptions, and is issuing a finding 

of no significant impact. 

On November 23, 2011, the NRC 

issued a Final Rule modifying or adding 

EP requirements in § 50.47, § 50.54, and 

appendix E of 10 CFR part 50 (76 

Federal Register (FR) 72560). The EP 

Final Rule was effective on December 

23, 2011, with specific implementation 

dates for each of the rule changes, 

varying from the effective date of the 

Final Rule through December 31, 2015. 

The EP Final Rule codified certain 

voluntary protective measures 

contained in NRC Bulletin 2005–02, 

‘‘Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Actions for Security-Based Events,’’ and 

generically applicable requirements 

similar to those previously imposed by 

NRC Order EA–02–026, ‘‘Order for 

Interim Safeguards and Security 

Compensatory Measures,’’ dated 

February 25, 2002. In addition, the EP 

Final Rule amended other licensee 

emergency plan requirements to: (1) 

Enhance the ability of licensees in 


Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
19094 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 68 / Thursday, April 9, 2015 / Notices 

preparing and in taking certain 

protective actions in the event of a 

radiological emergency; (2) address, in 

part, security issues identified after the 

terrorist events of September 11, 2001; 

(3) clarify regulations to effect 

consistent emergency plan 

implementation among licensees; and 

(4) modify certain EP requirements to be 

more effective and efficient. However, 

the EP Final Rule was only an 

enhancement to the NRC’s regulations 

and was not necessary for adequate 

protection. On page 72563 of the 

Federal Register notice for the EP Final 

Rule, the Commission ‘‘determined that 

the existing regulatory structure ensures 

adequate protection of public health and 

safety and common defense and 

security.’’ 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of Proposed Action 

The proposed action would exempt 

ZNPS, a 10 CFR part 50 licensee, from 

certain 10 CFR part 50 EP requirements 

because ZNPS is a permanently shutdown nuclear facility. 

The proposed action is in accordance 

with the licensee’s application dated 

June 20, 2012, (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML12173A316). 

Need for Proposed Action 

ZNPS was shut down on February 21, 

1997, and is currently in a permanently 

shut-down and defueled condition. In a 

letter dated May 4, 1998, the NRC 

acknowledged that pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR part 50 licenses 

for ZNPS, Units 1 and 2 no longer 

authorize operation of the reactors, or 

emplacement or retention of fuel in the 

reactor vessels. Active decommissioning 

is currently underway. 

The licensee claims that the proposed 

action is needed because the Final Rule 

imposed requirements on ZNPS that are 

not necessary to meet the underlying 

purpose of the regulations in view of the 

greatly reduced offsite radiological 

consequences associated with the 

current plant status as permanently shut 

down. The EP program at this facility 

met the EP requirements in 10 CFR part 

50 that were in effect before December 

23, 2011, subject to any license 

amendments or exemptions modifying 

the EP requirements for the licensee. 

Thus, compliance with the EP 

requirements in effect before the 

effective date of the EP Final Rule 

demonstrated reasonable assurance that 

adequate protective measures could be 

taken in the event of a radiological 

emergency. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC staff evaluated the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and concludes that exempting the 

facility from the emergency planning 

requirements will not have any adverse 

environmental impacts. With respect to 

radiological impacts, the NRC has 

determined that no credible events at 

ZNPS would result in doses to the 

public beyond the owner controlled area 

boundary that would exceed the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Protective Actions Guides at the site 

boundary. The proposed action is 

wholly procedural and administrative in 

nature. As such, the proposed action 

will not: Significantly increase the 

probability or consequences of 

radiological accidents, result in any 

changes to the types of effluents that 

may be released offsite, and result in 

any significant increase in occupational 

or public radiation exposure. Therefore, 

there are no significant radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not involve any 

construction activities, renovation of 

buildings or structures, ground 

disturbing activities or other alteration 

to land. The proposed action will not 

change the site activities and therefore 

will not result in any changes to the 

workforce or vehicular traffic. 

Furthermore, the proposed action is not 

a type of activity that has the potential 

to cause effects on historic properties or 

cultural resources, including traditional 

cultural properties. In addition the 

proposed action will not result in any 

change to non-radiological plant 

effluents and thus, will have no impact 

on either air or water quality. As the 

proposed action is wholly procedural 

and administrative in nature, the NRC 

staff has determined that the proposed 

action will have no effect on listed 

species or critical habitat. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC staff concludes 

that there are no significant 

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 denial 

of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the 

exemption request would result in no 

change in current environmental 

impacts because there will be no 

construction or major renovation of any 

buildings or structures, nor any 

associated ground disturbing activities. 

Thus the environmental impacts of the 

proposed action and no-action 

alternative are similar. Therefore, the 

no-action alternative is not further 

considered. 

Conclusion 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

proposed action will not significantly 

impact the quality of the human 

environment, and that the proposed 

action is the preferred alternative. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

The NRC contacted the Illinois 

Emergency Management Agency 

concerning this request. There were no 

comments, concerns or objections from 

the State official. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC staff has prepared this EA as 

part of its review of the proposed action. 

On the basis of this EA, the NRC finds 

that there are no significant 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed action, and that preparation of 

an environmental impact statement is 

not warranted. Accordingly, the NRC 

has determined that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. In accordance with 10 CFR 

51.32(a)(4), this FONSI incorporates the 

EA set forth in this notice by reference.
