SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion The NRC has issued renewed Facility Operating License No. R-56, held by the licensee, which authorizes continued operation of the UFTR, located in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. The UFTR is an Argonaut-type graphite-moderated and reflected light water cooled research reactor licensed to operate at a steady-state power level of 100 kilowatts thermal power. The renewed Facility Operating License No. R-56 will expire 20 years from its date of issuance.
The renewed facility operating license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commissions rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commissions regulations in chapter I, of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and sets forth those findings in the renewed facility operating license. The agency afforded an opportunity for hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing published in the Federal Register on May 27, 2008 (73 FR 30424). The NRC did not receive a request for a hearing or for a petition for leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-56 and concluded, based on that evaluation, that the licensee can continue to operate the facility without endangering the health and safety of the public. The NRC also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the renewal of the facility operating license, noticed in the Federal Register on September 8, 2010 (75 FR 54657), and concluded that renewal of the facility operating license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
