The license authorizes operation of the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (the facility) at a power level up to 1100 kilowatts thermal and in the pulse mode, with reactivity insertions not to exceed 2.55$, and to receive, possess, and use special nuclear material associated with facility operation. The facility is a research reactor located on the campus of Oregon State University, in the city of Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon. The mailing address is Radiation Center, Oregon State University, 100 Radiation Center, Corvallis, Oregon 97331–5903. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:06 Apr 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 II Title 10, Section 50.64, ‘‘Limitations on the Use of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) in Domestic Non-Power Reactors,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 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 use HEU fuel develop and submit to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (the Director) by March 27, 1987, and at 12month 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 the 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 PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19265 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. Paragraph 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, ‘‘Orders’’). 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.’’ III The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) maintains the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of the NRC’s public documents. On November 6, 2007, the licensee submitted its conversion proposal (ADAMS Accession No. ML080420546), which was supplemented on February 11, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML080730057). The NRC staff is in the process of reviewing the conversion proposal. The licensee indicated that an order, separate from the order for converting the reactor to LEU fuel, is needed that increases the uranium-235 possession limit because of a constraint on the timing of the shipment of replacement LEU fuel. The certification of the shipping containers used to transfer the LEU fuel from the manufacturer in France to the licensee will expire in June 2008, before the NRC can issue the order for reactor conversion. Therefore, the licensee requires the receipt and possession, but not use in the reactor, of the LEU fuel at this time to allow the fuel to be received before the shipping container loses its certification. The LEU fuel contains the uranium-235 isotope at an enrichment of less than 20 percent. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s proposal and the E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1 19266 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 69 / Wednesday, April 9, 2008 / Notices requirements of 10 CFR 50.64 and has determined that public health and safety and the common defense and security require the licensee to receive and possess the LEU fuel before conversion. This is necessary so that the manufacturer can ship the LEU fuel to the licensee before the shipping container certification expires, to support conversion in accordance with the schedules planned by the U.S. Department of Energy to support U.S. nonproliferation policies and by the licensee to support its academic mission. IV Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 51, 53, 57, 101, 104, 161b, 161i, and 161o of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and to Commission regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR 50.64, It is hereby ordered that: Amended Facility Operating License No. R–106 is modified by adding the following license condition: 2.B.(5) Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,’’ to receive and possess but not use up to 16.30 kilograms of contained uranium-235 at enrichment less than 20 percent in the form of non-power reactor fuel. This Order will be effective 20 days after the date of publication of this Order in the Federal Register. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES V Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.309, 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. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:06 Apr 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 To comply with the procedural requirements associated with E-Filing, at least 5 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 the document through EIE.

In the Matter of Oregon State University (Oregon State University
TRIGA Reactor); Order Modifying Amended Facility Operating License No.
Oregon State University (the licensee) is the holder of Amended
Facility Operating License No. R-106 (the license), originally issued
on March 7, 1967, by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The license
authorizes operation of the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (the
facility) at a power level up to 1100 kilowatts thermal and in the
pulse mode, with reactivity insertions not to exceed 2.55$, and to
receive, possess, and use special nuclear material associated with
facility operation. The facility is a research reactor located on the
campus of Oregon State University, in the city of Corvallis, Benton
County, Oregon. The mailing address is Radiation Center, Oregon State
University, 100 Radiation Center, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-5903.
Title 10, Section 50.64, ``Limitations on the Use of Highly
Enriched Uranium (HEU) in Domestic Non-Power Reactors,'' of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR 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.
licensee of a non-power reactor authorized to possess and 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 the
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.
changes to the license, the facility, and licensee procedures. This
paragraph also requires the licensee to submit supporting safety
Paragraph 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,
``Orders'').
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) maintains the
provides text and image files of the NRC's public documents. On
November 6, 2007, the licensee submitted its conversion proposal (ADAMS
Accession No. ML080420546), which was supplemented on February 11, 2008
(ADAMS Accession No. ML080730057). The NRC staff is in the process of
reviewing the conversion proposal. The licensee indicated that an
order, separate from the order for converting the reactor to LEU fuel,
is needed that increases the uranium-235 possession limit because of a
constraint on the timing of the shipment of replacement LEU fuel. The
certification of the shipping containers used to transfer the LEU fuel
from the manufacturer in France to the licensee will expire in June
2008, before the NRC can issue the order for reactor conversion.
Therefore, the licensee requires the receipt and possession, but not
use in the reactor, of the LEU fuel at this time to allow the fuel to
be received before the shipping container loses its certification. The
LEU fuel contains the uranium-235 isotope at an enrichment of less than
20 percent. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's proposal and the
safety and the common defense and security require the licensee to
receive and possess the LEU fuel before conversion. This is necessary
so that the manufacturer can ship the LEU fuel to the licensee before
the shipping container certification expires, to support conversion in
accordance with the schedules planned by the U.S. Department of Energy
to support U.S. nonproliferation policies and by the licensee to
Amended Facility Operating License No. R-106 is modified by adding
the following license condition:
2.B.(5) Pursuant to the Act and 10 CFR Part 70, ``Domestic
Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,'' to receive and possess but
not use up to 16.30 kilograms of contained uranium-235 at enrichment
less than 20 percent in the form of non-power reactor fuel.
This Order will be effective 20 days after the date of publication
of this Order in the Federal Register.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.309, any person(s) whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding, other than the licensee, and who wishes to

The NRC staff notes, however, that with respect to the environmental
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 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9), no
