Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 199 / Monday, October 17, 2005 / Notices 60379 

dry cask storage system at PNP. 

However, since NMC does not have an 

NRC-approved methodology for 

evaluating changes to the analyses or 

systems supporting this exemption 

request, the NRC staff’s approval of the 

exemption is restricted to those specific 

design and operating conditions 

described in NMC’s June 21, 2005, 

exemption request. NMC may not apply 

the 10 CFR 50.59 process for evaluating 

changes to specific exemptions. Any 

changes to the design or operation of (1) 

the dry cask storage system; (2) the SFP; 

(3) the fuel assemblies to be stored; (4) 

the boron dilution analyses; or (5) 

supporting procedures and controls, 

regardless of whether they are approved 

under the general Part 72 license or 

perceived to be conservative, will 

invalidate this exemption. Upon 

invalidation of the exemption, NMC 

will be required to comply with NRC 

regulations prior to future cask loadings. 

Based upon the review of NMC’s 

exemption request to credit soluble 

boron during DSC loading, unloading, 

and handling in PNP’s SFP, the NRC 

staff concludes that pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(iii), NMC’s exemption 

request is acceptable. However, the NRC 

staff places the following limitations/ 

conditions on the approval of this 

exemption: 

1. This exemption is limited to the 

loading, unloading, and handling of the 

DSC for only the TN NUHOMS-32PT 

at the PNP. 

2. This exemption is limited to the 

loading, unloading, and handling in the 

DSC at PNP of Combustion Engineering 

15 x 15 fuel assemblies, without 

burnable poison rod assemblies, that 

had maximum initial, unirradiated U–

235 enrichments less than 3.6 weight 

percent. 

3. This exemption is limited to the 

one-time only loading, unloading, and 

handling of the 7 TN NUHOMS-32PT 

cask systems (224 assemblies total) 

scheduled for the October 2005 cask 

loading campaign at PNP. 

4. If NMC submits a LAR by July 31, 

2006, this exemption will remain in 

effect until such time as the NRC staff 

either approves or denies the LAR. In 

this case, the NRC staff finds it 

acceptable to leave the exemption in 

effect because it will allow NMC to 

unload any previously loaded cask 

should it become necessary. However, if 

NMC does not submit a license 

amendment by July 31, 2006, this 

exemption will expire, and NMC will 

not be able to load, unload, or handle 

DSCs in the SFP. In its exemption 

supplement, NMC committed to 

complete supporting criticality analyses 

and submit a LAR to allow credit for 

burnup to meet the requirements of 10 

CFR 50.68(b)(1) in July 2006 or earlier. 

5. During DSC loading, unloading, 

and handling at PNP, the SFP soluble 

boron concentration must be greater 

than or equal to 2500 ppm at all times. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment (70 FR 57899). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
