SUBJECT:

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR EXEMPTION FROM HOLTEC INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE NO. 1032 FUEL SPECIFICATION AND LOADING CONDITIONS AT CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Dear Mr. Gudger:

By letter dated October 3, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) No. ML19276D398), Exelon Generation Company, LLC, requested an exemption from 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), and the portion of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(11), which requires storage of spent nuclear fuel under a general license in dry storage casks approved under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 72, and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the certificate of compliance for each spent fuel cask used by an independent spent fuel storage installation general licensee. In evaluating the request, the NRC also considered, pursuant to its authority in 10 CFR 72.7, exempting Exelon from similar requirements in 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i); and 10 CFR 72.214, List of approved spent fuel storage casks.

As part of its review of the proposed exemption, the NRC has performed an Environmental Assessment for the proposed exemption pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21 and 10 CFR 51.30(a).

Enclosed is a copy of the Notice of Issuance of the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact regarding this action for your information and which has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The NRC will notify you in a timely manner of our decision on this exemption request.

Mr.
