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.
