NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 72–1014, 72–59, and 50–271; 

NRC–2017–0134] 

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.; 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power 

Station, Independent Spent Fuel 

Storage Installation 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering an 

exemption request from Entergy Nuclear 

Operations, Inc. (ENO) to allow the 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station 

(VYNPS) to use a new regionalized 

loading pattern, load fuel that has been 

cooled for at least 2 years, and establish 

a per-cell maximum average burnup 

limit at 65,000 megawatt days per 

metric ton of uranium (MWD/MTU) in 

HI–STORM 100 multi-purpose canister 

(MPC)-68M using Certificate of 

Compliance (CoC) No. 1014, 

Amendment No. 10. The NRC prepared 

an environmental assessment (EA) 

documenting its finding. The NRC 

concluded that the proposed action 

would have no significant 

environmental impact. Accordingly, the 

NRC staff is issuing a finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI) associated 

with the proposed exemption. 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on January 

23, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is reviewing an exemption 

request from ENO, dated May 16, 2017 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML17142A358), 

and supplemented by letters dated 

September 7, 2017 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML17255A236) and December 7, 

2017 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML17346A685). ENO is requesting an 

exemption from the requirements of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR) §§ 72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3), 

72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.214, and the portion 

of 72.212(b)(11) that requires 

compliance with the terms, conditions, 

and specifications of the Certificate of 

Compliance (CoC) No. 1014, for spent 

fuel storage at the VYNPS independent 

spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). 

Specifically, ENO is requesting an 

exemption from certain requirements in 

Amendment No. 10 of the Holtec 

International (Holtec) CoC No. 1014 for 

the HI–STORM 100 Cask System 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML16144A177) 

to allow VYNPS to use a new 

regionalized loading pattern as 

described in Figure 2.4–1 of the 

exemption request, to load fuel that has 

been cooled for at least 2 years, and to 

establish a per-cell maximum average 

burnup limit at 65,000 megawatt days 

per metric ton of uranium (MWD/MTU) 

in a HI–STORM 100 MPC–68M canister. 

This would allow VYNPS to load fuel 

assemblies which have not been cooled 

for at least 3 years, as approved in the 

current CoC, but have been cooled for 2 

years, into the MPC–68M. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Summary 

Under the requirements of §§ 51.21 

and 51.30(a), the NRC staff developed 

an EA (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML17249A160) to evaluate the proposed 

action, which is for the NRC to grant an 

exemption to ENO to allow the use of 

a new regionalized loading pattern as 

described in Figure 2.4–1 of the 

exemption request, to load fuel that has 

been cooled for at least 2 years, and to 

establish a per-cell maximum average 

burnup limit at 65,000 MWD/MTU in a 

HI–STORM 100 MPC–68M at the 

VYNPS site. 

The EA defines the NRC’s proposed 

action (i.e., to grant ENO’s exemption 

request per 10 CFR 72.7) and the 

purpose of and need for the proposed 

action. Evaluations of the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and alternatives to the proposed 

action are presented, followed by the 

NRC’s conclusion. 

This EA evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts of granting the 

exemption to allow the use of a new 

regionalized loading pattern as 

described in Figure 2.4–1 of the 

exemption request, loading fuel that has 

been cooled for at least 2 years, and 

establishing a per-cell maximum 

average burnup limit at 65,000 MWD/ 

MTU in a HI–STORM 100 MPC–68M at 

the VYNPS site. The potential 

environmental impact of using NRCapproved storage casks was initially 

analyzed in the EA for the rulemaking 

to provide for the storage of spent fuel 

under a general license on July 18, 1990 

(55 FR 29181). The EA for using the HI– 

STORM 100, Amendment No. 10, cask 

system (81 FR 13265) tiers off of the EA 

for the 1990 final rule. 

NRC staff finds that this exemption 

request is bounded by CoC No. 1014, 

Amendment No. 10, and that there will 

be no significant environmental impacts 

of the proposed action. The proposed 

action does not change the types or 

quantities of effluents that may be 

released offsite, and it does not increase 

occupational or public radiation 

exposure. Therefore, there are no 

significant radiological environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. There is no change to the nonradiological effluents. The proposed 

action will take place within the site 

boundary, and does not have other 

environmental impacts. Thus, the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, the 

environmental impacts of the proposed
