BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–027; EA–08–250] 

In the Matter of Washington State 

University (Washington State 

University TRIGA Reactor); Order 

Modifying Facility Operating License 

No. R–76 

I 

Washington State University (the 

licensee) is the holder of Amended 

Facility Operating License No. R–76 (the 

license) originally issued on March 6, 

1961, by the U.S. Atomic Energy 

Commission and subsequently renewed 

on August 11, 1982, by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (the NRC or the 

Commission). The license authorizes 

operation of the Washington State 

University TRIGA Reactor (the facility) 

at a power level up to 1,000 kilowatts 

thermal and to receive, possess, and use 

special nuclear material associated with 

the operation. The facility is a research 

reactor located on the campus of the 

Washington State University, in the city 

of Pullman, Whitman County, 

Washington. The mailing address is 

Nuclear Radiation Center, Washington 

State University, P.O. Box 641300, 

Pullman, Washington 99164–1300. 

II 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.64, 

limits the use of high-enriched uranium 

(HEU) fuel in domestic non-power 

reactors (research and test reactors) (see 

51 FR 6514). The regulation, which 

became effective on March 27, 1986, 

requires that if Federal Government 

funding for conversion-related costs is 

available, each licensee of a non-power 

reactor authorized to use HEU fuel shall 

replace it with low-enriched uranium 

(LEU) fuel acceptable to the 

Commission unless the Commission has 

determined that the reactor has a unique 

purpose. The Commission’s stated 

purpose for these requirements was to 

reduce, to the maximum extent possible, 

the use of HEU fuel in order to reduce 

the risk of theft and diversion of HEU 

fuel used in non-power reactors. 

Paragraphs 50.64(b)(2)(i) and (ii) 

require that a licensee of a non-power 

reactor (1) not acquire more HEU fuel if 

LEU fuel that is acceptable to the 

Commission for that reactor is available 

when the licensee proposes to acquire 

HEU fuel, and (2) replace all HEU fuel 

in its possession with available LEU fuel 

acceptable to the Commission for that 

reactor in accordance with a schedule 

determined pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.64(c)(2). 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(i) requires, 

among other things, that each licensee 

of a non-power reactor authorized to 

possess and to use HEU fuel develop 

and submit to the Director of the Office 

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (the 

Director) by March 27, 1987, and at 12- 

month intervals thereafter, a written 

proposal for meeting the requirements 

of the rule. The licensee shall include in 

its proposal a certification that Federal 

Government funding for conversion is 

available through the U.S. Department 

of Energy or other appropriate Federal 

agency. The proposal should also 

provide a schedule for conversion, 

based upon availability of replacement 

fuel acceptable to the Commission for 

that reactor and upon consideration of 

other factors such as the availability of 

shipping casks, implementation of 

arrangements for available financial 

support, and reactor usage. 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) requires the 

licensee to include in the proposal, to 

the extent required to effect conversion, 

all necessary changes to the license, the 

facility, and licensee procedures. This 

paragraph also requires the licensee to 

submit supporting safety analyses in 

time to meet the conversion schedule. 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) also requires 

the Director to review the licensee 

proposal, to confirm the status of 

Federal Government funding, and to 

determine a final schedule, if the 

licensee has submitted a schedule for 

conversion. 

Section 50.64(c)(3) requires the 

Director to review the supporting safety 

analyses and to issue an appropriate 

enforcement order directing both the 

conversion and, to the extent consistent 

with the protection of public health and 

safety, any necessary changes to the 

license, the facility, and licensee 

procedures. In the Federal Register 

notice of the final rule (51 FR 6514), the 

Commission explained that in most, if 

not all cases, the enforcement order 

would be an order to modify the license 

under 10 CFR 2.204 (now 10 CFR 

2.202). 

Any person, other than the licensee, 

whose interest may be affected by this 

proceeding and who desires to 

participate as a party must file a written 

request for hearing or petition for leave 

to intervene meeting the requirements of 

10 CFR 2.309, ‘‘Hearing Requests, 

Petitions to Intervene, Requirements for 

Standing, and Contentions.’’

the licensee’s conversion proposal, 

including its proposed modifications 

and supporting safety analyses. HEU 

fuel elements are to be replaced with 

LEU fuel elements. The reactor core 

contains fuel clusters, each fuel cluster 

contains up to four fuel elements of the 

TRIGA design, with the fuel consisting 

of uranium-zirconium hydride with 30 

weight percent uranium. These fuel 

elements contain the uranium-235 

isotope at an enrichment of less than 20 

percent. The NRC staff reviewed the 

licensee’s proposal and the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.64 and has 

determined that public health and safety 

and common defense and security 

require the licensee to convert the 

facility from the use of HEU to LEU fuel 

in accordance with the attachments to 

this Order and the schedule included 

herein. The attachments to this Order 

specify the changes to the license 

conditions and technical specifications 

that are needed to amend the facility 

license and contains an outline of a 

reactor startup report to be submitted to 

NRC within 6 months following return 

of the converted reactor to normal 

operation. 

IV 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 51, 

53, 57, 101, 104, 161b, 161i, and 161o 

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

V 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, any 

person(s) whose interest may be affected 

by this proceeding, other than the 

licensee, and who wishes to participate 

as a party in the proceeding must file a 

written request within 20 days after the 

date of publication of this Order, setting 

forth with particularity the manner in 

which this Order adversely affects his or 

her interest and addressing the criteria 

set forth in 10 CFR 2.309. If a hearing 

is held, the issue to be considered at 

such hearing shall be whether this 

Order should be sustained. 

A request for a hearing must be filed 

in accordance with the NRC E-Filing 

rule, which became effective on October 

15, 2007. The NRC issued the E-filing 

final rule on August 28, 2007 (72 FR 

49139) and codified it in pertinent part 

at 10 CFR part 2, ‘‘Rules of Practice for 

Domestic Licensing Proceedings and 

Issuance of Orders,’’ subpart B. The EFiling process requires participants to 

submit and serve documents over the 

Internet or, in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic optical storage media. 

Participants may not submit paper 

copies of their filings unless they seek 

a waiver in accordance with the 

procedures described below. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements associated with E-Filing, 

at least 10 days before the filing 

deadline, the requestor must contact the 

Office of the Secretary by e-mail at 

hearingdocket@nrc.gov, or by calling 

(301) 415–1677, to request (1) a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

documents and access the E-Submittal 

server for any NRC proceeding in which 

it is participating, and/or (2) creation of 

an electronic docket for the proceeding 

(even in instances when the requestor 

(or its counsel or representative) already 

holds an NRC-issued digital ID 

certificate). Each requestor will need to 

download the Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM to access the Electronic 

Information Exchange (EIE), a 

component of the E-Filing system. The 

Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and 

is available at http://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. 

Information about applying for a digital 

ID certificate also is available on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

apply-certificates.html. 

Once a requestor has obtained a 

digital ID certificate, had a docket 

created, and downloaded the EIE 

viewer, he or she can then submit a 

request for a hearing through EIE. 

Submissions should be in portable 

document format (PDF) in accordance 

with NRC guidance available on the 

NRC public Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

document through EIE. To be timely, 

electronic filings must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

eastern time on the due date. Upon 

receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing 

system time-stamps the document and 

sends the submitter an e-mail notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

EIE system also distributes an e-mail 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the document on those 

participants separately. Therefore, any 

others who wish to participate in the 

proceeding (or their counsel or 

representative) must apply for and 

receive a digital ID certificate before a 

hearing request is filed so that they may 

obtain access to the document via the EFiling system. 

A person filing electronically may 

seek assistance through the ‘‘Contact 

Us’’ link located on the NRC Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html or by calling the NRC 

technical help line, which is available 

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., eastern 

time, Monday through Friday. The help 

line number is (800) 397–4209 or, 

locally, (301) 415–4737. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file a 

motion, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 

requesting authorization to continue to 

submit documents in paper format. 

Such filings must be submitted by (1) 

First class mail addressed to the Office 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES

Participants filing a document in this 

manner are responsible for serving the 

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in 

the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 

expedited delivery service upon 

depositing the document with the 

provider of the service. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket at http:// 

ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, 

unless excluded pursuant to an order of 

the Commission, an Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board, or a Presiding Officer. 

Participants are requested not to include 

personal privacy information, such as 

social security numbers, home 

addresses, or home phone numbers, in 

their filings. With respect to copyrighted 

works, except for limited excerpts that 

serve the purpose of the adjudicatory 

filings and would constitute a fair use 

application, participants are requested 

not to include copyrighted materials in 

their works. 

If a hearing is requested and granted 

by the Commission, the NRC will issue 

an order designating the time and place 

of any hearing. 

In the absence of any request for 

hearing, the provisions as specified in 

Section IV shall be final twenty (20) 

days after the date of publication of this 

Order in the Federal Register. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.10(d) 

this Order is not subject to Section 

102(2) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act, as amended. The NRC staff 

notes, however, that with respect to 

environmental impacts associated with 

the changes imposed by this Order as 

described in the safety evaluation, the 

changes would, if imposed by other 

than an order, meet the definition of a 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Thus, pursuant 

to either 10 CFR 51.10(d) or 51.22(c)(9), 

no environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement is 

required. 

Detailed guidance which the NRC 

uses to review applications from 

research reactor licensees appears in
