be contacted no later than April 9, 2009, 

if special equipment or accommodations 

are needed to attend or present 

information at the public meeting, so 

that the NRC staff can determine 

whether the request can be 

accommodated. 

Members of the public may send 

written comments on the environmental 

scope of the CR–3 license renewal 

review to: Chief, Rulemaking and 

Directives Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Mailstop TWB 5B–01M, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

should cite the publication date and 

page number of this Federal Register 

notice. To be considered in the scoping 

process, written comments should be 

postmarked by May 15, 2009. Electronic 

comments may be sent by e-mail to the 

NRC at crystalrivereis@nrc.gov, and 

should be sent no later than May 15, 

2009, to be considered in the scoping 

process. Comments will be available 

electronically and accessible through 

ADAMS at http:// 

adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. 

Participation in the scoping process 

for the supplement to the GEIS does not 

entitle participants to become parties to 

the proceeding to which the supplement 

to the GEIS relates. Notice of 

opportunity for a hearing regarding the 

renewal application is also included in 

this Federal Register. Matters related to 

participation in any hearing are outside 

the scope of matters to be discussed at 

this public meeting. 

At the conclusion of the scoping 

process, the NRC will prepare a concise 

summary of the determination and 

conclusions reached, including the 

significant issues identified, and will 

send a copy of the summary to each 

participant in the scoping process. The 

summary will also be available for 

inspection in ADAMS at http:// 

adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. 

The staff will then prepare and issue for 

comment the draft supplement to the 

GEIS, which will be the subject of 

separate notices and separate public 

meetings. Copies will be available for 

public inspection at the abovementioned addresses, and one copy per 

request will be provided free of charge. 

After receipt and consideration of the 

comments, the NRC will prepare a final 

supplement to the GEIS, which will also 

be available for public inspection. 

Information about the proposed 

action, the supplement to the GEIS, and 

the scoping process may be obtained 

from Elaine Keegan at the 

aforementioned telephone number or email address.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–123; NRC–2009–0139] 

Missouri University of Science and 

Technology Research Reactor; Notice 

of Issuance of Renewed Facility 

License No. R–79 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

has issued renewed Facility License No. 

R–79, held by the Board of Curators of 

the University of Missouri (the 

licensee), which authorizes continued 

operation of the Missouri University of 

Science and Technology Research 

Reactor (MSTR), located on the Missouri 

University of Science and Technology 

(MST) campus at Rolla City, Phelps 

County, MO. The MSTR is a pool-type, 

light-water-moderated-and-cooled 

research reactor licensed to operate at a 

steady-state thermal power level of 200 

kilowatts thermal. Renewed Facility 

License No. R–79 will expire at 

midnight 20 years from its date of 

issuance. 

The renewed license complies with 

the standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the Commission’s rules 

and regulations. The Commission has 

made appropriate findings as required 

by the Act and the Commission’s 

regulations in Title 10, Chapter 1, 

‘‘Nuclear Regulatory Commission,’’ of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 

Chapter 1), and sets forth those findings 

in the renewed license. The NRC 

afforded an opportunity for hearing in 

the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 31, 2007, at 72 FR 74350. The 

NRC received no request for a hearing 

or petition for leave to intervene 

following this notice. 

The NRC staff prepared a safety 

evaluation report for the renewal of 

Facility License No. R–79 and 

concluded, based on that evaluation, 

that the licensee can continue to operate 

the facility without endangering the 

health and safety of the public. The NRC 

staff also prepared an environmental 

assessment for license renewal, noticed 

in the Federal Register on March 30, 

2009 (7X FR 14163), and concluded, 

based on that assessment, that renewal 

of the license will not have a significant 

impact on the quality of the human 

environment. 

The NRC maintains the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS), which provides text 

and image files of the NRC’s public 

documents. For details with respect to 

the application for renewal, see the 

licensee’s letter dated August 30, 2004 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML042820116), 

as supplemented by letters dated 

November 16, 2007 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML073240523), November 27, 2007

No. ML082630565), and November 7, 

2008 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML083190529). The NRC requested 

additional information on November 16, 

2007 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML072340514), May 12, 2008 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML081270024), and 

September 8, 2008 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML082460561). For details with 

respect to the issuance of the renewed 

facility license, see renewed Facility 

License No. R–79 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML090140511) including the related 

safety evaluation report dated March 30, 

2009, the related technical 

specifications dated March 24, 2009 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML090140520), 

and the related environmental 

assessment dated March 20, 2009 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML080290156). 

Documents may be examined, and/or
