SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuing an exemption to the spent fuel 

storage requirements applicable to Zion 

Solutions, LLC. (hereafter, ZS or the 

applicant), general license to operate an 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation (ISFSI) at the Zion Nuclear 

Power Station (ZNPS). ZS seeks 

approval to load MAGNASTOR storage 

casks (Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 

No. 72–1031) in a different manner than 

permitted by any amendment to the 

MAGNASTOR CoC, but which the NRC 

has previously reviewed as a proposed 

amendment to that CoC. The applicant 

is currently loading storage casks and 

maintains that relief from requirements 

provides flexibility in operations, 

minimizes equipment runtime and 

repair, and minimizes personnel dose.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuing an exemption to the spent fuel 

storage requirements applicable to ZS to 

operate an ISFSI at the ZNPS located in 

Zion Illinois. Therefore, as required by 

section 51.30 of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC 

performed an environmental 

assessment. Based on the results of the 

environmental assessment that follows, 

the NRC has determined not to prepare 

an environmental impact statement for 

the exemption, and is issuing a finding 

of no significant impact. 

Zion Solutions, LLC. is a general 

licensee under 10 CFR Part 72 for the 

storage of spent fuel in its ISFSI. The 

applicant is subject to 10 CFR 72.212, 

which provides in part that [t]he general 

license is limited to storage of spent fuel 

in casks approved under the provisions 

of 10 CFR Part 72. The general licensee 

must ensure that each cask used 

conforms to the terms, conditions, and 

specifications of a CoC, or an amended 

CoC, listed in Section 72.214. 

The applicant seeks approval to load 

casks in a different manner than 

permitted by its current CoC, but which 

the NRC has previously reviewed as a 

proposed amendment to that CoC, but 

not issued as a final rule. NAC, the cask 

vendor, by application dated June 18, 

2013, submitted an amendment request, 

as supplemented September 6, 2013, 

and September 19, 2013, to change 

limiting condition operation (LCO) 

3.1.1. The NRC technical review of the 

NAC CoC amendment request is 

documented in the safety evaluation 

report. The NRC staff in the safety 

evaluation report concludes that the 

revised time limits of helium backfill 

and transportable storage canister (TSC) 

transfer time of technical specification 

(TS) LCO 3.1.1 are in compliance with 

10 CFR Part 72. The evaluation of the 

thermal design provides reasonable 

assurance that the resulting values 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
62212 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 200 / Thursday, October 16, 2014 / Notices 

proposed will allow safe storage of the 

spent fuel. The applicant’s exemption 

request for modified transfer time when 

a canister’s thermal output is less than 

or equal to twenty (20) kilowatts, ≤20 

kW, relies, as the basis for approval, on 

the NAC CoC amendment request 

review performed by the NRC staff. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would 

exemption ZS from specific portions of 

the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 

‘‘Conditions of general license issued 

under § 72.210,’’ specifically 10 CFR 

72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3), 

72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.212(b)(11) and 10 

CFR 72.214 ‘‘List of approved spent fuel 

storage casks,’’ for the ZNPS ISFSI. The 

proposed exemption request pertains to 

the requirements of technical 

specification LCO 3.1.1, TSC, Section 1, 

first table, regarding allowed transfer 

time from loading of a TSC inside the 

MAGNASTOR transfer cask (MTC) to 

placement into the vertical concrete 

cask (VCC) following the completion of 

helium backfill. The proposed 

exemption is to modify the allowable 

transfer time from eight (8) hours to six 

hundred (600) hours. The transfer time 

is for the movement of a TSC, with heat 

load ≤20 kW, from the decontamination 

pit to the VCC. 

The proposed exemption is in 

accordance with the ZS application 

dated June 25, 2014, 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would relieve 

the applicant from requirements of 

72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3), 

72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.212(b)(11), and 10 

CFR 72.214 and requests to use a LCO 

submitted by the cask vendor, NAC, as 

‘‘Amendment No. 4’’ to NAC 

MAGNASTOR, CoC No. 1031. CoC No. 

1031, Amendment No. 4 increases the 

transfer time for a canister with a heat 

load ≤20 kW from 8 hours, as required 

by LCO 3.1.1 under Amendment No. 3, 

to 600 hours. The applicant maintains 

that extending the period for the 

operator to complete the transfer 

provides the operator the opportunity to 

conclude the activity, provides 

flexibility in operations, minimizes 

equipment runtime and repair, and 

minimizes personnel dose. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC staff has determined that 

issuance of the proposed exemption will 

have no significant environmental 

impact. 

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). This alternative would have 

the same environmental impacts as the 

proposed action. In the event the NRC 

were to deny the requested exemption, 

ZS would continue to operate under the 

requirements of the current 

MAGNASTOR® CoC, which has 

previously been determined to have no 

significant impacts. The potential 

environmental impact of using the 

MAGNASTOR® system was initially 

analyzed in the environmental 

assessment for the final rule to add the 

MAGNASTOR® system to the list of 

approved spent fuel storage casks in 10 

CFR 72.214 (73 FR 70587; November 21, 

2008). The environmental assessment 

for the November 21, 2008, final rule 

concluded that there would be no 

significant environmental impact for 

adding the MAGNASTOR® system, and 

therefore, the NRC issued a finding of 

no significant impact. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

This action does not impact any 

resource implications discussed in 

previous environmental reviews. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on August 21, 2014, the staff consulted 

with Mr. Joseph Klinger, Assistant 

Director of the Illinois Emergency 

Management Agency (IEMA) by email, 

regarding the environmental impact of 

the proposed action. The state’s 

response was received by email dated 

August 28, 2014. The email response 

states that IEMA reviewed the draft 

environmental assessment and had no 

comments. The state official concurred 

with the environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact. 

The NRC staff has determined that a 

consultation under Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act is not required 

because the proposed action will not 

affect listed species or critical habitat. 

The NRC staff has also determined that 

the proposed action is not a type of 

activity that has the potential to impact 

historic properties because the proposed 

action would occur within the 

established ZNPS site boundary. 

Therefore, no consultation is required 

under Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

In the preparation of this 

Environmental Assessment, the staff 

used guidance in NUREG–1748, 

‘‘Environmental Review Guidance for 

Licensing Actions Associated with 

NMSS Programs.’’ 

The proposed action will not increase 

the probability or consequences of 

accidents. No changes are being made in 

the types or quantities of effluents that 

may be released offsite, and there is no 

significant increase in occupational or 

public radiation exposure. Therefore, 

there are no significant radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. The proposed 

action does not affect non-radiological 

effluents and has no other 

environmental impacts. Thus, there are 

no significant non-radiological impacts 

associated with the proposed action. 

Therefore, the proposed action will not 

have a significant effect on the quality 

of the human environment. Based on 

these findings, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the approval of 

the requested exemption. 

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.
