SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion Based upon the application dated March 19, 2018, as supplemented June 25, 2018, August 6, 2018, September 26, 2018, April 22, 2019, June 26, 2019, July 12, 2019, and January 23, 2020, the NRC has issued a renewed license to the licensee for the Rancho Seco ISFSI, located in Sacramento County, California. The renewed license SNM-2510 authorizes and requires operation of the Rancho Seco ISFSI in accordance with the provisions of the renewed license and its technical specifications. The renewed license will expire on June 30, 2060.

3 The licensees application for a renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRCs rules and regulations. The NRC has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the NRCs regulations in chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2018 (83 FR 42527). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice.

The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation, the ISFSI will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The NRC staff also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the renewal of this license, which were published in the Federal Register on March 6, 2020 (85 FR 13191, Docket ID NRC-2019-0148). The NRC staffs consideration of the impacts of continued storage of spent nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG-2157, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Fuel) was included in the environmental assessment. The NRC staff concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
