License No. SUB–459; 

Acknowledgement of Request for 

Enforcement Action Against U.S. Army 

Installation Command (Schofield 

Barracks and Pohakuloa Training Area, 

Hawaii) 

Notice is hereby given that by petition 

dated March 4, 2010, Isaac D. Harp 

(petitioner) has requested that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

take enforcement action against the U.S. 

Army for the unlicensed possession and 

use of depleted uranium. 

As the basis for this request, the 

petitioner states that the Army’s license, 

SUB–459, expired on October 31, 1964, 

and if any depleted uranium was 

possessed or released to the 

environment after the expiration date, 

that was an unlawful act and subject to 

NRC enforcement policies. 

The request is being treated pursuant 

to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission’s 

regulations. The request has been 

referred to the Director of the Office of 

Federal and State Materials and 

Environmental Management Programs 

(FSME). As provided by Section 2.206, 

the petitioner met with the FSME 

petition review board on April 14, 2010, 

to discuss the petition. The results of 

that discussion were considered in the 

board’s determination regarding the 

petitioner’s request and in establishing 

the schedule for the review of the 

petition. 

A copy of the request is available in 

ADAMS (ML100640665) for inspection 

at the Commission’s Public Document

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–16; NRC–2009–0073] 

DTE ENERGY; Enrico Fermi Atomic 

Power Plant Unit 1; Exemption From 

Certain Low-Level Waste Shipment 

Tracking Requirements In 10 CFR Part 

20 Appendix G 

1.0 Background 

DTE Energy (DTE) is the licensee and 

holder of Facility Operating License No. 

DPR–9 issued for Enrico Fermi Atomic 

Power Plant, Unit 1 (Fermi-1), located in 

Monroe County, Michigan. Fermi-1 is a 

permanently shutdown nuclear reactor 

facility. DTE is in the process of 

decommissioning Fermi-1 and 

radioactive waste shipments from the 

site are ongoing and expected to 

increase over the next year. During the 

decommissioning process, large 

volumes of slightly contaminated 

concrete rubble and debris are generated 

that require shipment for disposal in 

offsite low-level radioactive waste 

disposal sites. Experience at other 

decommissioning nuclear power 

facilities has shown that, due primarily 

to the volume of radioactive waste; 

licensees have encountered an increase 

in the number of routine shipments that 

take longer than 20 days from transfer 

to the shipper to receipt 

acknowledgment from the disposal site. 

Each shipment with receipt 

notifications greater than 20 days 

requires a special investigation and 

report to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

which the licensee believes to be 

burdensome and unnecessary to meet 

the intent of the regulation. 

2.0 Request/Action 

In a letter to the Commission dated 

November 13, 2009, DTE requested an 

exemption from the requirements in 10 

CFR part 20, appendix G, section III.E, 

to investigate and file a report to the 

NRC if shipments of low-level 

radioactive waste are not acknowledged 

by the intended recipient within 20 

days after transfer to the shipper. This 

exemption would extend the time 

period that can elapse during shipments 

of low-level radioactive waste before 

DTE is required to investigate and file 

a report to the NRC from 20 days to 35 

days. The exemption would be 

applicable to rail and truck/rail mixedmode shipments. The exemption 

request is based on an analysis of the 

historical data of low-level radioactive 

waste shipment times from the Fermi-1 

site to the disposal site.

3.0 Discussion 

The proposed action would grant an 

exemption to extend the 20-day 

investigation and reporting 

requirements for shipments of low-level 

radioactive waste to 35 days. 

Historical data derived from 

experience at Fermi-1 indicates that rail 

transportation time to waste disposal 

facilities almost always exceed the 20- 

day reporting requirement. A review of 

the Fermi-1 data indicates that 

transportation time for shipments by rail 

or truck/rail took over 20 days on 

average. In addition, administrative 

processes at the disposal facilities and 

mail delivery times could add several 

additional days. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2301, the 

Commission may, upon application by a 

licensee or upon its own initiative, grant 

an exemption from the requirements of 

regulations in 10 CFR part 20 if it 

determines the exemption is authorized 

by law and would not result in undue 

hazard to life or property. There are no 

provisions in the Atomic Energy Act (or 

in any other Federal statute) that impose 

a requirement to investigate and report 

on low-level radioactive waste 

shipments that have not been 

acknowledged by the recipient within 

20 days of transfer. 

Therefore, the Commission concludes 

that there is no statutory prohibition on 

the issuance of the requested exemption 

and the Commission is authorized to 

grant the exemption by law. 

The Commission acknowledges that, 

based on the shipment times to date 

from the Fermi-1 site to the disposal 

facility, the need to investigate and 

report on shipments that take longer 

than 20 days could result in an 

excessive administrative burden on the 

licensee. The Commission finds that the 

underlying purpose of the Appendix G 

timing provision at issue is to 

investigate a late shipment that may be 

lost, misdirected, or diverted. 

Furthermore, by extending the elapsed 

time for receipt acknowledgment to 35 

days before requiring investigations and 

reporting, a reasonable upper limit on 

shipment duration (based on historical 

analysis) is still maintained if a 

breakdown of normal tracking systems 

were to occur. Consequently, the 

Commission finds that there is no 

hazard to life or property by extending 

the investigation and reporting time for 

low-level radioactive waste shipments 

from 20 days to 35 days for rail and 

truck/rail mixed-mode shipments. 

Therefore, the Commission concludes 

that the underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

part 20, appendix G, section III.E will be 

met. 

4.0 Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

20.2301, the exemption requested by 

DTE in its November 13, 2009, letter is 

authorized by law and will not result in 

undue hazards to life or property. 

Therefore, the Commission hereby 

grants DTE an exemption to extend the 

20-day investigation and reporting 

requirements for shipments of low-level 

radioactive waste, as required by 10 CFR 

part 20, appendix G, section III.E, to 35 

days. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment as documented in 

Federal Register (FR) notice 75 FR 

20867, April 21, 2010. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
