NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72–10]

Notice of Issuance of Amendment to

Materials License SNM–2506; Nuclear

Management Company, LLC; Prairie

Island Independent Spent Fuel Storage

Installation

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC or the Commission)

has issued Amendment 5 to Materials

License SNM–2506 held by the Nuclear

Management Company, LLC (NMC) for

the receipt, possession, transfer, and

storage of spent fuel at the Prairie Island

Independent Spent Fuel Storage

Installation (ISFSI), located in Goodhue

County, Minnesota. The amendment is

effective as of the date of issuance.

By application dated August 31, 1999,

as supplemented November 8, 1999; and

March 13, April 6, and October 16,

2000, NMC requested to amend its ISFSI

license to specifically permit the storage

of burnable poison rod assemblies

(BPRAs) and thimble plug devices

(TPDs) within the TN–40 casks used at

the Prairie Island ISFSI. This

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. The Commission has

made appropriate findings as required

by the Act and the Commission’s rules

and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I,

which are set forth in the license

amendment.

In accordance with 10 CFR

72.46(b)(2), a determination has been

made that the amendment does not

present a genuine issue as to whether

public health and safety will be

significantly affected. Therefore, the

publication of a notice of proposed

action and an opportunity for hearing or

a notice of hearing is not warranted.

Notice is hereby given of the right of

interested persons to request a hearing

on whether the action should be

rescinded or modified.

Also in connection with this action,

the Commission prepared an

Environmental Assessment (EA) and

Finding of No Significant Impact

(FONSI). The EA and FONSI were

published in the Federal Register on

January, 29, 2001 (66 FR 8123).

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of

the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ a copy of

the EA and FONSI are available

electronically for public inspection in

the NRC Public Document Room or from

the Publicly Available Records (PARS)

component of NRC’s document system

(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from

the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/

NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public

Electronic Reading Room).

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day

of February 2001.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Draft Regulatory Guide DG–1096 and

Draft Standard Review Plan Section

15.0.2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

SUMMARY: The Executive Director for

Operations (EDO) of the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission has instructed

the NRC staff to resolve several issues

resulting from the Independent Safety

Assessment of the Maine Yankee

Atomic Power Station. Of the eleven

items identified by the EDO, four were

concerned with analytical code

validation, review, documentation and

compliance with generic safety

evaluations. All of these issues were

generic in nature and resulted in the

issuance of the two draft documents for

public comment that are the subject of

this workshop. The public comment

period for these draft documents ended

on February 15, 2001. It is the purpose

of the workshop to exchange

information among interested parties on

the two documents and the comments

received. After considering all

comments and information, the NRC

would issue the documents in their final

form as acceptable guidance to licensees

and vendors and to the NRC staff for

review of analytical models.

DATES: April 9, 2001, 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: NRC Auditorium, (TWFN)

of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

Maryland 20852.

AGENDA: To be provided.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice serves as notification of a public

workshop to provide for the exchange of

information with all stakeholders

regarding the staff’s efforts to provide

comprehensive guidance for

development, assessment and review of

analytical methods used to calculate

acceptable behavior of design basis

events described in Chapter 15 of the

Standard Review Plan (SRP) (NUREG–

0800). The NRC encourages

stakeholders to make presentations at

this workshop on the subject

documents. In particular should the

documents provide additional

information on simplified conservative

analyses methods or incremental

changes to existing evaluation models?

This notice provides only the date,
