Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

Regarding a License Amendment

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Issuance of an Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or the Commission) is considering 

issuance of an amendment to Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. 2505 that 

would incorporate changes to the 

updated safety analysis report to alter 

the design basis limit for the dry 

shielded canister (DSC) internal 

pressure from 50 psig to 100 psig. 

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc. 

(CCNPP) is currently storing spent 

nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs 

independent spent fuel storage 

installation (ISFSI) located in Calvert 

County, Maryland. 

Environmental Assessment (EA) 

Identification of Proposed Action: By 

letter dated May 16, 2005, CCNPP 

submitted a request to the NRC to 

amend license SNM–2505 in order to 

incorporate changes to the updated 

safety analysis report to alter the design 

basis limit for the DSC internal pressure 

from 50 psig to 100 psig. The design 

basis limit change is being made to 

support CCNPP adding the NUHOMS–

32P as an optional design to the existing 

NUHOMS–24P design for dry storage of 

spent fuel. The NUHOMS–32P design 

stores eight more spent fuel assemblies 

than the NUHOMS–24P design. 

The proposed action before the NRC 

is whether to approve the amendment. 

Need for the Proposed Action: The 

proposed action would allow CCNPP to 

optimize its dry spent fuel storage 

capacity by upgrading portions of its 

ISFSI to use the NUHOMS–32P DSC. 

The proposed action would allow 

CCNPP to reduce the minimum number 

of canister loadings each year from four 

(using the NUHOMS–24P design) to 

three (with the NUHOMS–32P design). 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Proposed Action: By letter dated 

December 12, 2003, CCNPP submitted a 

request to amend license SNM–2505 to 

add the NUHOMS–32P as an optional 

design to the existing NUHOMS–24P 

design for dry storage of spent fuel. An 

EA and Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) were published in the 

Federal Register on May 24, 2005 (70 

FR 29784) for CCNPP’s December 12, 

2003, license amendment request which 

concluded that adding the NUHOMS–

32P as an optional design to the existing 

NUHOMS–24P design for dry storage of 

spent nuclear fuel would have no 

significant impact on the environment. 

The proposed action contained in 

CCNPP’s May 16, 2005, request is to 

incorporate changes to the updated 

safety analysis report to alter the design 

basis limit for the DSC internal pressure 

from 50 psig to 100 psig. The DSC 

provides confinement, an inert 

environment, structural support, and 

criticality control for 32 pressurized 

water reactor fuel assemblies. The DSC 

shell is a welded stainless steel pressure 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 175 / Monday, September 12, 2005 / Notices 53813 

vessel that includes thick shield plugs at 

either end. To support the pressure 

increase structural design changes were 

made to the DSC to ensure that the 

confinement boundary for the spent 

nuclear fuel is maintained under the 

proposed design pressure limit of 100 

psig for all specified normal operation, 

off-normal operation, and accident 

conditions. The staff has determined 

that the proposed action would not 

endanger life or property. No effluents 

are released from the ISFSI during 

operation and the proposed changes 

have no impact to DSC loading 

activities. Therefore, there is no 

significant change in the type or 

significant increase in the amounts of 

any effluents that may be released 

offsite. There is also no significant 

increase with regard to individual or 

cumulative occupational radiation 

exposures because of the proposed 

action. There are no significant 

radiological environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed action 

because the NUHOMS–32P DSC 

includes design changes to ensure the 

confinement boundary for the spent 

nuclear fuel is maintained under the 

proposed design pressure limit of 100 

psig. 

The amendment only affects the 

requirements associated with the 

loading of the casks and does not affect 

non-radiological plant effluents or any 

other aspects of the environment. 

Therefore, there are no significant nonradiological impacts associated with the 

proposed action. 

Accordingly, the Commission 

concludes that there are no significant 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Alternative to the Proposed Action: 

As an alternative to the proposed action, 

the staff considered denial of the 

amendment request (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Approval or denial 

of the amendment request would result 

in minimal change in the environmental 

impacts. Therefore, the environmental 

impacts of the proposed action and the 

alternative action are similar. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted: On 

August 11, 2005, Richard McLean of the 

State of Maryland was contacted 

regarding the proposed action and had 

no concerns. The NRC staff has 

determined that consultation under 

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 

is not required for this specific 

amendment and will not affect listed 

species or critical habitat. The NRC staff 

has also determined that the proposed 

action is not a type of activity having 

the potential to cause effects on historic 

properties. Therefore, no consultation is 

required under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

Conclusions: The staff has reviewed 

the amendment request submitted by 

CCNPP and changing the DSC design 

basis pressure limit would have no 

significant impact on the environment. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

The environmental impacts of the 

proposed action have been reviewed in 

accordance with the requirements set 

forth in 10 CFR part 51. Based upon the 

foregoing EA, the NRC finds that the 

proposed action of approving the 

amendment to the license will not 

significantly impact the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined that an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed license amendment is not 

warranted. 

The request for amendment was 

docketed under 10 CFR part 72, Docket 

72–8. For further details with respect to 

this action, see the proposed license 

amendment dated May 16, 2005. The 

NRC maintains an Agencywide 

Documents Access Management System 

(ADAMS), which provides text and 

image files of NRC’s public documents.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 72–39] 

Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power 

Company Haddam Neck Plant 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation Environmental Assessment 

and Finding of No Significant Impact 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or Commission) is 

considering issuance of an exemption to 

Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power 

Company (CYAPCO or licensee), 

pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7, from the 

specific provisions of 10 CFR 

72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(2)(I), 

72.212(b)(7), and 72.214. The licensee is 

using the NAC Multi-Purpose Canister 

System (NAC–MPC), Certificate of 

Compliance (CoC) No. 1025, to store 

spent fuel under a general license in an 

independent spent fuel storage 

installation (ISFSI) associated with the 

operation of the Haddam Neck Plant, 

located in Middlesex County, 

Connecticut. The requested exemption 

would allow CYAPCO to deviate from 

requirements of the NAC–MPC CoC No. 

1025, Amendment No. 4, Appendix A, 

Technical Specifications for the NAC–

MPC System, Section A 5.1, Training 

Program. Specifically, the exemption 

would relieve the licensee from the 

requirement to develop training 

modules under its Systems Approach to 

Training (SAT) that includes 

comprehensive instructions for the 

operation and maintenance of the ISFSI, 

except for the NAC–MPC System. 

Environmental Assessment 

Identification of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would exempt 

CYAPCO from regulatory requirements 

to develop certain training. By letter 

dated June 1, 2005, the licensee 

requested exemptions from certain 

regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 

72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(2)(I), 

72.212(b)(7), and 72.214 which require 

a general license to store spent fuel in 

a NRC-certified spent fuel storage cask 

under the terms and conditions set forth 

in the CoC. The proposed exemption 

would allow the licensee to deviate 

from the requirements in CoC No. 1025, 

Amendment No. 4, Appendix A, 

Technical Specifications for the NAC–

MPC System, Section A 5.1, Training 

Program. 

CoC No. 1025, Amendment 4, 

Appendix A, Technical Specifications 

for the NAC–MPC System, Section A 

5.1, Training Program, requires that a 

training program for the NAC–MPC 

System be developed under the general 

licensee’s SAT Program. Further, the 

training modules must include 

comprehensive instructions for the 

operation and maintenance of both the 

NAC-MPC System and the ISFSI. By 

exempting the licensee from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 

72.212(b)(2)(I), 72.212(b)(7), and 72.214 

for this request, the licensee will not be 

required to develop training modules 

that include comprehensive instructions 

for the operation and maintenance of 

the ISFSI.
