Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 

Notice of Issuance of Materials License 

SNM–2514 for the Humboldt Bay 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Issuance of Materials License. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James R. Hall, Senior Project Manager, 

Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of 

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555. Telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or the Commission) has issued Materials 

License No. SNM–2514 to the Pacific 

Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for 

the receipt, possession, storage, and 

transfer of spent fuel at the Humboldt 

Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation (ISFSI), to be located in 

Humboldt County, California. This 

Materials License is issued under the 

provisions of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 72 (10 CFR 

part 72), and is effective as of the date 

of issuance. A license for an ISFSI under 

10 CFR part 72 is issued for 20 years, 

but the licensee may seek to renew the 

license prior to its expiration. 

The Humboldt Bay ISFSI is licensed 

to provide interim storage in a dry cask 

storage system for up to 31 metric tons 

of uranium contained in intact and 

damaged fuel assemblies and associated 

radioactive materials resulting from the 

operation of the Humboldt Bay Power 

Plant, Unit 3. The dry cask storage 

system authorized for use is a sitespecific version of the HI–STAR 100 

system, designated as the HI–STAR HB 

system, designed by Holtec 

International. 

Following receipt of PG&E’s 

application dated December 15, 2003, 

the NRC staff published a ‘‘Notice of 

Docketing, Notice of Proposed Action, 

and Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing 

for a Materials License for the Humboldt 

Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation’’ in the Federal Register on 

February 11, 2004 (69 FR 6701). In 

conjunction with the issuance of this 

license, the staff published a ‘‘Notice of 

Issuance of Environmental Assessment 

and Finding of No Significant Impact for 

the Humboldt Bay Independent Spent 

Fuel Storage Installation,’’ in the 

Federal Register on November 16, 2005 

(70 FR 69605). The staff’s 

Environmental Assessment (EA) 

considered the impacts of the 

construction, operation and 

decommissioning of an ISFSI at the 

Humboldt Bay site, including impacts 

resulting from the use of the HI–STAR 

HB dry cask storage system. The staff 

has determined that no significant 

environmental impacts will result from 

the proposed Humboldt Bay ISFSI. 

The NRC staff has completed its 

environmental, safeguards, and safety 

reviews of the Humboldt Bay ISFSI 

license application and safety analysis 

report, as amended. The NRC staff 

issued Materials License No. SNM–2514 

and its Safety Evaluation Report (SER) 

for the Humboldt Bay Independent 

Spent Fuel Storage Installation on 

November 17, 2005. 

Further details with respect to this 

action are provided in the application 

dated December 15, 2003, as amended 

October 1, 2004; the staff’s EA, dated 

November 16, 2005; Materials License 

SNM–2514 and the staff’s SER, dated 

November 17, 2005; and other related 

documents, which are publicly available 

in the records component of NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS). These 

documents may be accessed through the 

NRC’s Public Electronic Reading Room 

on the Internet at: http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm/adams.html. These 

documents may also be viewed 

electronically on the public computers 

located at the NRC’s Public Document 

Room (PDR), O1F21, One White Flint 

North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

MD 20852. Persons who do not have 

access to ADAMS or who encounter 

problems in accessing the documents 

located in ADAMS, should contact the 

NRC PDR Reference staff by telephone 

at 1–800–397–4209 or (301) 415–4737,

reproduction contractor will copy 

documents for a fee.
