II. Discussion 

The NRC utilizes information that is 

currently contained in multiple 

documents (NUREG–1536, NUREG– 

1567, and numerous ISGs) to assist the 

NRC staff in its reviews of spent fuel 

storage applications. The NRC’s intent 

in combining and updating these 

documents into one document is to 

assist the NRC staff in its reviews by 

promoting a consistent regulatory 

review of a SAR for an ISFSI or a MRS 

license, or for a CoC; by promoting 

quality and uniformity of these reviews 

across each technical discipline; 

presenting a basis for the review’s 

scope; identifying acceptable 

approaches to meeting regulatory 

requirements; and suggesting possible 

evaluation findings that can be used in 

the safety evaluation report for 

applications submitted under part 72 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

By this action, the NRC is requesting 

public comments on draft NUREG– 

2215. The NRC invites comments on all 

portions of this SRP that the commenter 

thinks the NRC should consider. The 

NRC will make a final determination 

regarding issuance of the NUREG after 

it considers any public comments 

received in response to this request.

of November 2017.

Attachment—Order Approving Direct 

Transfer of License and Approving 

Conforming Amendment 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

Docket Nos. 50–333 and 72–012; License No. 

DPR–59 

In the Matter of Exelon Generation 

Company, LLC James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear 

Power Plant 

ORDER APPROVING DIRECT TRANSFER 

OF LICENSE AND APPROVING 

CONFORMING AMENDMENT 

I. 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon 

Generation) is the owner and operator of the 

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant 

(FitzPatrick) and the holder of Renewed 

Facility Operating License No. DPR–59 and 

the general license for the FitzPatrick 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation 

(ISFSI). FitzPatrick is a General Electric 

boiling-water reactor located in Oswego 

County, New York. 

II. 

By application dated July 24, 2017 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) Accession 

No. ML17206A395), Exelon Generation, and 

its wholly owned subsidiary, Exelon 

FitzPatrick, LLC (Exelon FitzPatrick), jointly 

requested, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 

50.80, ‘‘Transfer of licenses,’’ that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

consent to the direct transfer of the 

FitzPatrick renewed facility operating license 

and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general license 

from Exelon Generation to Exelon 

FitzPatrick. Future references to FitzPatrick 

include the general license for the FitzPatrick 

ISFSI. In response to the request by Exelon 

Generation and Exelon FitzPatrick for 

consent to the direct transfer of the 

FitzPatrick renewed facility operating license 

and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general license, the 

NRC published a notice entitled, ‘‘James A. 

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant; 

Consideration of Approval of Transfer of 

License and Conforming Amendment,’’ in the 

Federal Register on August 17, 2017 (82 FR 

39139). The NRC received no comments and 

no hearing requests. 

Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license, or any 

right thereunder, shall be transferred, directly 

or indirectly, through transfer of control of 

the license, unless the NRC gives its consent 

in writing. Upon review of the information in 

the application, and other information before 

the NRC, and relying upon the 

representations and agreements contained in 

the application, the NRC staff has determined 

that Exelon FitzPatrick is qualified to hold 

the FitzPatrick renewed facility operating 

license and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general 

license. Following completion of the license 

transfer, Exelon FitzPatrick would acquire 

ownership of FitzPatrick. Exelon Generation 

would continue to be responsible for the 

operation and maintenance of FitzPatrick. 

The NRC staff has also determined that the 

transfer of these licenses is otherwise 

consistent with the applicable provisions of 

law, regulations, and orders issued by the 

NRC, pursuant thereto, subject to the 

condition set forth below. 

Upon review of the application for a 

conforming license amendment to reflect this 

transfer, the NRC staff has determined that 

the application for the conforming license 

amendment complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations set forth 

in 10 CFR chapter I; the facility will operate 

in conformity with the application, the 

provisions of the Act, and the rules and 

regulations of the Commission; there is 

reasonable assurance that the activities 

authorized by this amendment can be 

conducted without endangering the health 

and safety of the public and that such 

activities will be conducted in compliance 

with the Commission’s regulations; the 

issuance of this amendment will not be 

inimical to the common defense and security 

or to the health and safety of the public; and 

the issuance of this amendment will be in 

accordance with 10 CFR part 51 of the 

Commission’s regulations and all applicable 

requirements will have been satisfied. 

The findings set forth above are supported 

by an NRC safety evaluation dated November 

7, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML17240A069). 

III. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 

161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 

2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and 2234; and 10 

CFR 50.80, it is hereby ordered that the 

application regarding the proposed direct 

license transfer is approved, subject to the 

following condition: 

Prior to the completion of the license 

transfer, Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC shall 

provide satisfactory documentary evidence to 

the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation that it has obtained the 

appropriate amount of insurance required of 

a licensee under 10 CFR part 140 and 10 CFR 

50.54(w). 

It is further ordered that, consistent with 

10 CFR 2.1315(b), the license be changed, as 

indicated in Enclosure 2 to the cover letter 

forwarding this Order, to conform the license 

to reflect that the subject direct license 

transfer is approved. The amendment shall 

be issued and made effective at the time the 

proposed direct license transfer is completed. 

It is further ordered that, after receipt of all 

required regulatory approvals of the 

proposed direct license transfer, Exelon 

FitzPatrick shall inform the Director of the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in 

writing of such receipt, and of the date of 

closing of the transfer, no later than 2 

business days prior to the date of the closing 

of the direct license transfer. Should the 

proposed direct license transfer not be 

completed within 1 year of this Order’s date 

of issuance, this Order shall become null and 

void, provided, however, upon written 

application and for good cause shown, such 

date may be extended by order. 

This Order is effective upon issuance. 

For further details with respect to this 

Order, see the application dated July 24, 

2017, and the NRC’s nonproprietary Safety 

Evaluation dated November 7, 2017 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML17240A069), which are 

available for public inspection at the 

Commission’s Public Document Room (PDR), 

located at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly 

available documents created or received at
