Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC has completed its safety 

evaluation of the proposed action and 

concludes that the proposed exemption 

will not present any undue risk to the 

public health and safety. The safety 

evaluation performed by Framatome 

ANP, Inc., ‘‘BAW–10227P–A, 

Evaluation of Advanced Cladding and 

Structural Material (M5) in PWR Reactor 

Fuel, Framatome Cogema Fuels, 

February 2000,’’ demonstrates that the 

predicted chemical, mechanical, and 

material performance characteristics of 

the M5 cladding are within those 

approved for Zircaloy under anticipated 

operational occurrences and postulated 

accidents. Furthermore, the LFAs will 

be placed in non-limiting locations. In 

the unlikely event that cladding failures 

occur in the LFAs, the environmental 

impact would be minimal and is 

bounded by previous accident analyses. 

The details of the staff’s safety 

evaluation will be provided in the 

exemption that will be issued as part of 

the letter to the licensee approving the 

exemption to the regulation. 

The proposed action will not 

significantly increase the probability or 

consequences of accidents. No changes 

are being made in the types of effluents 

that may be released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in the amount of 

any effluent released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in occupational or 

public radiation exposure. Therefore, 

there are no significant radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not have a potential to affect 

any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no 

other environmental impact. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the application 

would result in no change in current 

environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the alternative action are 

similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Environmental Statement for the 

PVNGS, Unit 1, NUREG–0841, dated 

February 1982. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on September 9, 2008, the staff 

consulted with the Arizona State 

official, Aubrey Godwin of the Arizona 

Radiation Regulatory Agency, regarding 

the environmental impact of the 

proposed action. The State official had 

no comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated March 8, 2008, as supplemented 

by letter dated September 10, 2008

Management System (ADAMS)

September 30, 2008. 

It appears to the Securities and

periodic reports since the period ended 

June 30, 2006. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of MB Tech, Inc. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in the 

securities of MB Tech, Inc., is 

suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m.
