SUMMARY
OF DECEMBER 19, 2012, MEETING WITH AEROTEST OPERATIONS, INC., AND NUCLEAR LABYRINTH LLC, ON THE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PROPOSED INDIRECT LICENSE TRANSFER APPLICATION OF THE AEROTEST RADIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH REACTOR On December 19, 2012, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), representatives of Aerotest Operations, Inc., (Aerotest), Nuclear Labyrinth, LLC, (the applicants) and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, the counsel of Aerotest, at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the NRC request for additional information (RAIs) dated December 10, 2012, on the proposed indirect license transfer application of the Aerotest Radiography and Research Reactor (ARRR). A list of attendees is provided as Enclosure 1.
The first part of the meeting was open to the public. The second part of the meeting was closed to the public because the NRC staff and the applicants determined that it contained information that was proprietary in nature.
Following introductions, the NRC Acting Director of the Division of Policy and Rulemaking (DPR) of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Ms. Mary Muessle, reiterated that the goal of the meeting was to ensure that the applicants for the indirect license transfer application of ARRR have a complete understanding of the NRC request for additional information (RAI) and to hear from the applicants any new information that would help the NRC staff understand the applicants path forward. These RAIs were aimed at addressing incomplete information provided by the applicants in previous responses to RAIs. Ms. Muessle also stated that the NRC realizes that this is the second transfer application submitted by the licensee, Aerotest Operations, Inc. However, the applicants will need to recognize that each financial assurance review is conducted on a case- by-case basis, and that it is the responsibility of the applicants to demonstrate sufficient funding in the following areas to receive approval:
- 1. Operating costs for the reactor for the license term with detail information for the first five years
- 2. Decommissioning of the reactor
- 3. Safe storage of fuel from permanent reactor shutdown to when fuel is moved offsite Aerotest Operations, Inc. The applicants proceeded with addressing the NRC RAIs. They asked clarifying questions on the documentation required to establish financial assurance, including additional sources of funds to cover operations and maintenance that were not discussed in previous submittals.
Also, the method to be used to adjust levels of funds assured for decommissioning and finally fuel storage costs. The NRC staff indicated that Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.75, Reporting and recordkeeping for decommissioning planning and 10 CFR 50.33, Contents of application; general Information, provide details to support the RAIs.
The applicants requested from the NRC publicly available examples of a support agreement between applicants, and a spent fuel plan. As requested by the applicants, the NRC provided an example of a Support Agreement (ML090630426) and an example of a Spent Fuel Management Plan (ML082910294). The applicants agreed to provide responses to the RAIs on or about January 10, 2013.
Members of the public were not in attendance. Public Meeting Feedback forms were not received.
