II. Discussion 

On July 8, 2021, the NRC received an 

application from PFNW requesting a 

specific license to export low-level 

radioactive waste to Canada. The 

application seeks authorization to 

export no greater than 1,379,102 

kilograms and 3.99 terabecquerels (TBq) 

of liquid low-level radioactive waste 

generated from medical isotope and 

radiopharmaceuticals production. The 

application requests an expiration date 

of December 1, 2026. 

In accordance with section 110.70 

paragraph (b) of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) the NRC is 

providing notice of the receipt of the 

application; providing the opportunity 

to submit written comments concerning 

the application; and providing the 

opportunity to request a hearing or 

petition for leave to intervene, for a 

period of 30 days after publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. A 

hearing request or petition for leave to 

intervene must include the information 

specified in 10 CFR 110.82(b). Any 

request for hearing or petition for leave

delivery, by mail, or filed with the NRC 

electronically in accordance with the 

NRC’s E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139; 

August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR
