Attachment—Exemption 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Docket No. 50–188 

Kansas State University Nuclear 

Reactor Facility; Exemption 

I. Background 

Kansas State University (KSU) holds 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC, the Commission) 

Renewed Facility Operating License No. 

R–88 for the Kansas State University 

Nuclear Reactor Facility (the facility), 

which is a Training, Research, Isotopes, 

General Atomics (TRIGA) research 

reactor located on the KSU campus in 

Manhattan, Kansas. Under this license, 

KSU is authorized to operate the facility 

at steady-state power levels up to a 

maximum of 1,250 kilowatts (thermal) 

and in the pulse mode with reactivity 

insertions not to exceed specified limits. 

The license is subject to the rules, 

regulations, and orders of the NRC. 

II. Request/Action 

By letter dated March 7, 2024 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML24085A808), as 

supplemented by letters dated June 11 

(ML24164A092), October 4 

(ML24281A032), and November 20 

(ML24326A142), 2024, KSU requested a 

temporary exemption from Title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) 55.53, ‘‘Conditions of licenses,’’ 

paragraphs (e), (f), and (h) and 10 CFR 

55.59, ‘‘Requalification,’’ paragraph (a) 

for three licensed senior reactor 

operators (Docket Nos. 055–71404, 055– 

70720, and 055–70722) at the facility in 

order to allow them to resume 

maintenance activities involving fuel 

movement, fuel cleaning, and fuel 

inspection and to return the facility to 

normal operations. 

The regulations at 10 CFR 55.53(e) 

state: 

If a licensee has not been actively 

performing the functions of an operator or 

senior operator, the licensee may not resume 

activities authorized by a license issued 

under [10 CFR part 55] except as permitted 

by paragraph (f) of this section. To maintain 

active status. . . [f]or test and research 

reactors, the licensee shall actively perform 

the functions of an operator or senior 

operator for a minimum of four hours per 

calendar quarter. 

The regulations at 10 CFR 55.53(f) 

state: 

If paragraph (e) of this section is not met, 

before resumption of functions authorized by 

a license issued under [10 CFR part 55], an 

authorized representative of the facility 

licensee shall certify the following: 

(1) That the qualifications and status of the 

licensee are current and valid; and 

(2) That the licensee has completed a 

minimum of 40 hours of shift functions 

under the direction of an operator or senior 

operator as appropriate and in the position to 

which the individual will be assigned. The 

40 hours must have included a complete tour 

of the plant and all required shift turnover 

procedures. . . . For test and research 

reactors, a minimum of six hours must have 

been completed. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
102168 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices 

The regulations at 10 CFR 55.53(h) 

state: 

The licensee shall complete a 

requalification program as described by [10 

CFR] 55.59. 

And the regulations at 10 CFR 

55.59(a) state: 

Each licensee shall— 

(1) Successfully complete a requalification 

program developed by the facility licensee 

that has been approved by the Commission. 

This program shall be conducted for a 

continuous period not to exceed 24 months 

in duration. 

(2) Pass a comprehensive requalification 

written examination and an annual operating 

test. 

(i) The written examination will sample 

the items specified in [10 CFR] 55.41 and 

55.43 . . ., to the extent applicable to the 

facility, the licensee, and any limitation of 

the license under [10 CFR] 55.53(c). . . . 

(ii) The operating test will require the 

operator or senior operator to demonstrate an 

understanding of and the ability to perform 

the actions necessary to accomplish a 

comprehensive sample of items specified in 

[10 CFR] 55.45(a) (2) through (13) inclusive 

to the extent applicable to the facility. 

(iii) In lieu of the Commission accepting a 

certification by the facility licensee that the 

licensee has passed written examinations and 

operating tests administered by the facility 

licensee within its Commission-approved 

program developed by using a systems 

approach to training under paragraph (c) of 

this section, the Commission may administer 

a comprehensive requalification written 

examination and an annual operating test. 

According to KSU, the facility has 

been under an extended shutdown to 

address a fuel issue identified during 

routine fuel inspection. As a result of 

the extended shutdown, three senior 

operators at the facility are unable to 

meet a portion of the facility’s operator 

requalification program (the KSU 

Requalification Plan) related to reactor 

operations. Additionally, these senior 

operators have not been actively 

performing the functions of a senior 

operator for a minimum of four hours 

per calendar quarter. Therefore, KSU is 

requesting to temporarily exempt these 

senior operators from the NRC’s 

requalification requirements at 10 CFR 

55.53(h) and 10 CFR 55.59(a) and the 

NRC’s active performance requirements 

at 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) so that they 

may resume fuel maintenance activities 

and return the facility to normal 

operations. The KSU staff will continue 

to use the KSU Requalification Plan for 

requalification requirements that can be 

completed at the facility and those that 

cannot be completed at the facility will 

be accomplished through alternative 

training or training at the University of 

Texas at Austin Research Reactor 

(UTARR). The October 4, 2024, 

supplement to the exemption request 

discusses this additional training, 

including control manipulations at the 

UTARR and simulations at the facility, 

lectures, biweekly performance of 

‘‘Procedure No. 12—Instrument 

Checkout,’’ and monthly review of 

operations daily checkout logbooks. The 

requested duration of the exemption is 

the sooner of 120 days after the issuance 

of the exemption or 30 days following 

the cancellation of the administrative 

restriction on operations related to the 

fuel issue. After this time, the senior 

operators would again be subject to the 

regulations related to the NRC’s 

requalification and active performance 

requirements. 

As explained below, with the 

proposed additional training, the 

requested exemption is authorized by 

law, will not endanger life or property, 

and is otherwise in the public interest. 

Therefore, the NRC grants the requested 

exemption with respect to the three 

senior operators named in the 

exemption request and, pursuant to 10 

CFR 55.59(b), requires those senior 

operators to complete the additional 

training discussed in the exemption 

request and to submit evidence to the 

NRC of the successful completion of 

that training before returning the facility 

to normal operations. 

III. Discussion 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.11, ‘‘Specific 

exemptions,’’ the Commission may, 

upon application by an interested 

person, or upon its own initiative, grant 

such exemptions from the requirements 

of the regulations in 10 CFR part 55 as 

it determines (1) are authorized by law, 

(2) will not endanger life or property, 

and (3) are otherwise in the public 

interest. 

A. The Exemption Is Authorized by Law 

The exemption would allow three 

senior operators at the facility who do 

not satisfy the requalification 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(h) and 10 

CFR 55.59(a) and the active performance 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) 

to continue to perform the functions of 

a senior operator to support the 

resumption of fuel maintenance 

activities and the return of the facility 

to normal operations. As stated above, 

10 CFR 55.11 allows the Commission to 

grant exemptions from the requirements 

of 10 CFR part 55, including 10 CFR 

55.53(e), (f), and (h) and 10 CFR 

55.59(a), when the exemptions are 

authorized by law. Exemptions are 

authorized by law where they are not 

expressly prohibited by statute or 

regulation. A proposed exemption is 

implicitly authorized by law if it will 

not endanger life or property and is 

otherwise in the public interest and no 

other provisions in law prohibit, or 

otherwise restrict, its application. The 

NRC staff has determined, as explained 

next, that no provisions in law expressly 

prohibit or otherwise restrict the 

requested exemption. The NRC staff has 

also determined, as explained in 

subsequent sections of this document, 

that the requested exemption will not 

endanger life or property and is 

otherwise in the public interest. 

The regulations in 10 CFR part 55 

implement Section 107 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), 

which states, in part, that the 

Commission shall (1) prescribe uniform 

conditions for licensing individuals as 

operators of any of the various classes 

of utilization facilities licensed by the 

NRC and (2) determine the 

qualifications of such individuals. 

These requirements in the AEA do not 

expressly prohibit exemptions from 10 

CFR 55.53(e), (f), and (h) and 10 CFR 

55.59(a), which require licensed 

operators to maintain proficiency by 

actively performing the functions of an 

operator for a minimum number of 

hours and to complete a requalification 

program. Further, as discussed below, 

the requested exemption would have 

little impact on the uniformity of 

operator licensing conditions or on 

operator qualification requirements. 

In its exemption request, KSU stated 

that the purpose of the exemption 

request is to allow the resumption of 

fuel maintenance activities, including 

fuel cleaning and inspections, to 

provide a pathway for returning the 

facility to normal operations. This 

cannot currently be accomplished 

because three senior operators at the 

facility do not satisfy the proficiency 

and requalification requirements of the 

NRC’s regulations due to the extended 

shutdown of the facility. Under the 

exemption, KSU would continue to use 

the KSU Requalification Plan for 

requalification requirements that can be 

completed at the facility and those that 

cannot be completed at the facility 

would be satisfied by performing the 

additional training described in the 

request, including additional training at 

the UTARR. Although fuel maintenance 

activities could be resumed upon the 

issuance of the exemption, pursuant to 

10 CFR 55.59(b), the Commission would 

require the senior operators to complete 

the additional training and submit 

evidence to the Commission of the 

successful completion of this training 

before returning the facility to normal 

operations. After this, the senior 

operators would again be subject to the 

regulations related to the NRC’s 

requalification and active performance 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices 102169 

requirements. Therefore, granting the 

exemption request would have little 

impact on the uniformity of operator 

licensing conditions or on operator 

qualification requirements. 

Because no provisions in law 

expressly prohibit the requested 

exemption and because, as explained in 

subsequent sections of this document, 

the requested exemption will not 

endanger life or property and is 

otherwise in the public interest, the 

NRC staff has determined that the 

exemption is authorized by law. 

B. The Exemption Will Not Endanger 

Life or Property 

The exemption would allow three 

senior operators at the facility who do 

not satisfy the requalification 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(h) and 10 

CFR 55.59(a) and the active performance 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) 

to continue to perform the functions of 

a senior operator to support the 

resumption of fuel maintenance 

activities and the return of the facility 

to normal operations. As stated above, 

10 CFR 55.11 allows the Commission to 

grant exemptions from the requirements 

of 10 CFR part 55, including 10 CFR 

55.53(e), (f), and (h) and 10 CFR 

55.59(a), when they will not endanger 

life or property. 

The requested exemption will not 

endanger life or property because it 

would allow persons experienced with 

licensed activities involving fuel 

maintenance to resume inspections and 

cleaning of the fuel with the reactor 

shutdown. These activities would be 

performed consistent with the facility’s 

Commission-approved technical 

specifications and would, therefore, 

ensure that the necessary quality of 

systems and components is maintained. 

Further, the requested exemption will 

not endanger life or property because 

KSU has proposed additional training 

for the three senior operators that would 

provide reasonable assurance of their 

competence as senior operators 

regarding facility operations equivalent 

to that required by the NRC’s 

regulations and because that additional 

training would be required by the NRC, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 55.59(b), including 

the submission of evidence to the 

Commission of the successful 

completion of the training, before the 

facility is returned to normal operations. 

As KSU stated in the October 4, 2024, 

supplement to the exemption request, 

the KSU Requalification Plan would 

continue to be used, and supplemented, 

for items that can be completed at the 

facility, such as through training and 

lectures, including biweekly 

performance of ‘‘Procedure No. 12— 

Instrument Checkout,’’ and monthly 

review of operations daily checkout 

logbooks. The items in the plan that 

cannot be completed at the facility, such 

as control manipulations, would be 

accomplished at the UTARR to satisfy 

the operating test requalification 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.45(a)(2), (5), 

and (6). Both the UTARR and the KSU 

facility have a similar licensed power. 

Operations may be conducted at the 

UTARR between shutdown and 

designated power levels similar to the 

KSU facility. Additionally, both 

facilities utilize TRIGA fuel and 

graphite reflection, hence operating 

behavior characteristics during control 

manipulations will have a similar 

response. 

Based on the above, the NRC staff 

determined that the UTARR is 

sufficiently similar to the KSU facility 

such that the additional training 

proposed to be conducted at the 

UTARR, in combination with the 

conduct of the KSU Requalification 

Plan, as supplemented, at the facility, 

provides reasonable assurance of the 

competence of the three senior operators 

to perform the functions of a senior 

operator at the KSU facility. Although 

fuel maintenance activities may be 

resumed upon the issuance of this 

exemption, pursuant to 10 CFR 55.59(b), 

the senior operators must complete the 

additional training discussed above and 

submit evidence to the Commission of 

the successful completion of this 

training before returning the facility to 

normal operations. Therefore, the NRC 

staff has determined that the exemption 

will not endanger life or property. 

C. The Exemption Is Otherwise in the 

Public Interest 

The exemption would allow three 

senior operators at the facility who do 

not satisfy the requalification 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(h) and 10 

CFR 55.59(a) and the active performance 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) 

to continue to perform the functions of 

a senior operator to support the 

resumption of fuel maintenance 

activities and the return of the facility 

to normal operations. As stated above, 

10 CFR 55.11 allows the Commission to 

grant exemptions from the requirements 

of 10 CFR part 55, including 10 CFR 

55.53(e), (f), and (h) and 10 CFR 

55.59(a), when they are otherwise in the 

public interest. 

The Commission’s values guide the 

NRC in maintaining certain principles 

of good regulation as it carries out 

regulatory activities in furtherance of its 

safety and security mission. These 

principles focus the NRC on ensuring 

safety and security while appropriately 

considering the interests of the NRC’s 

stakeholders, including the public and 

licensees. The NRC’s principles of good 

regulation can also provide guidance as 

to whether the granting of a particular 

exemption is otherwise in the public 

interest. 

On balance, the NRC’s principles of 

good regulation demonstrate that the 

granting of the requested exemption is 

otherwise in the public interest. The 

scope of the exemption is limited to 

resuming fuel maintenance activities 

and to returning the facility to normal 

operations. The three senior operators 

would be allowed to resume fuel 

maintenance activities, including fuel 

cleaning and inspections, upon the 

issuance of the exemption; however, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 55.59(b), the senior 

operators would be required to complete 

the additional training discussed above 

and to submit evidence to the 

Commission of the successful 

completion of this training before 

returning the facility to normal 

operations. As discussed above, this 

would ensure that the senior operators 

have the competence required to 

perform these duties. Moreover, the 

exemption would expire the sooner of 

120 days after the issuance of the 

exemption or 30 days following the 

cancellation of the administrative 

restriction on operations related to the 

fuel issue. After this time, the senior 

operators would again be fully subject to 

the regulations related to the NRC’s 

requalification and active performance 

requirements. Thus, the exemption is 

narrowly tailored and does not make 

any permanent changes to the senior 

operator licenses, the facility license, or 

KSU programs. This approach provides 

for an efficient and clear resolution to a 

situation that is outside of the 

considerations of the applicable 

regulations. Therefore, the NRC staff has 

determined that the exemption is 

otherwise in the public interest. 

D. Environmental Considerations 

The exemption would allow three 

senior operators at the facility who do 

not satisfy the requalification 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(h) and 10 

CFR 55.59(a) and the active performance 

requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) 

to continue to perform the functions of 

a senior operator to support the 

resumption of fuel maintenance 

activities and the return of the facility 

to normal operations. For the following 

reasons, the NRC staff determined that 

this exemption meets the eligibility 

criteria for the categorical exclusion set 

forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). There are 

no special or extraordinary 

circumstances present that would 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
102170 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices 

preclude reliance on this exclusion. The 

NRC staff determined, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(E), that the 

requirements from which the exemption 

is sought involve education, training, 

experience, qualification, 

requalification, or other employment 

suitability requirements. The NRC staff 

also determined that granting the 

requested exemption involves no 

significant hazards consideration 

because it does not authorize any 

physical changes to the facility or any 

of its safety systems or change any of the 

assumptions or limits used in the 

facility licensee’s safety analyses or 

introduce any new failure modes; there 

is no significant change in the types or 

significant increase in the amounts of 

any effluents that may be released 

offsite because the exemption does not 

affect any effluent release limits as 

provided in the facility licensee’s 

technical specifications or by 10 CFR 

part 20; there is no significant increase 

in individual or cumulative public or 

occupational radiation exposure 

because the exemption does not affect 

the limits on the release of any 

radioactive material or the limits 

provided in 10 CFR part 20 for radiation 

exposure to workers or members of the 

public; there is no significant 

construction impact because the 

exemption does not involve any changes 

to a construction permit; and there is no 

significant increase in the potential for 

or consequences from radiological 

accidents because the exemption does 

not alter any of the assumptions or 

limits in the facility licensee’s safety 

analyses. In addition, the NRC staff 

determined that there would be no 

significant impacts to biota, water 

resources, historic properties, cultural 

resources, or socioeconomic conditions 

in the region. Therefore, pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 

statement or environmental assessment 

need to be prepared in connection with 

the granting of the exemption. 

IV. Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

55.11, the exemption is authorized by 

law, will not endanger life or property, 

and is otherwise in the public interest. 

Therefore, the Commission hereby 

grants, with respect to the three senior 

operators named in the exemption 

request, an exemption from the NRC’s 

requalification requirements at 10 CFR 

55.53(h) and 10 CFR 55.59(a) and the 

NRC’s active performance requirements 

at 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f) to continue 

to perform the functions of a senior 

operator to support the resumption of 

fuel maintenance activities and the 

return of the facility to normal 

operations. Although fuel maintenance 

activities may be resumed upon the 

issuance of this exemption, pursuant to 

10 CFR 55.59(b), the senior operators 

must complete the additional training 

discussed above and submit evidence to 

the Commission of the successful 

completion of this training before 

returning the facility to normal 

operations. This exemption expires the 

sooner of (1) 120 days after issuance or 

(2) 30 days following the cancellation of 

the facility temporary administrative 

limit/special condition for operation 

stipulating in the entry on November 22, 

2021, of Attachment 1, ‘‘Condition/ 

Limit Log,’’ in ‘‘SOM1 Operational 

Limits and Special Administrative 

Controls’’ that ‘‘No operation until fuel 

element findings resolved.’’ 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
