These exemptions temporarily allow the licensees to deviate from certain requirements (as cited below) of various parts of chapter I of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 26, Fitness for Duty Programs, for Indiana Michigan Power Company (for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2), and NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (for Point Beach Nuclear 2
Plant, Units 1 and 2), afford these licensees temporary relief from the work-hour controls under 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). The exemptions from 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7) ensure that the control of work hours and management of worker fatigue do not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources to most effectively manage the impacts of the COVID-19 PHE on maintaining the safe operation of these facilities. Specifically, these licensees have stated that their staffing levels are affected or are expected to be affected by the COVID-19 PHE, and they can no longer meet or likely will not meet the work-hour controls of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). These licensees have committed to effecting site-specific administrative controls for COVID-19 PHE fatigue-management for personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a).
The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 50, appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, section IV.F., Training, for Entergy Operations, Inc. (for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2), and STP Nuclear Operating Company (for South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2),
grant temporary exemptions from the biennial emergency preparedness exercise requirement. The exemptions allow a temporary exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, appendix E, regarding the conduct of the biennial emergency preparedness exercise. These exemptions will not adversely affect the emergency response capability of the facilities because affected licensee personnel are currently qualified, and the licensees proposed compensatory measures will enable their staff to maintain their knowledge, skills, and abilities without the conduct of the biennial emergency preparedness exercise during the exemption term.
The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 73, appendix B, General Criteria for Security Personnel, section VI., Nuclear Power Reactor Training and Qualification Plan for Personnel Performing Security Program Duties, for Union 3
Electric Company (for Callaway Plant, Unit No. 1); for Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2); and Entergy Operations, Inc. (for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1), afford these licensees temporary exemptions from certain requirements. The exemptions will help to ensure that these regulatory requirements do not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources in a manner that most effectively manages the impacts of the COVID-19 PHE on maintaining the safe and secure operation of these facilities and the implementation of the licensees NRC-approved security plans, protective strategy, and implementing procedures. These licensees have committed to certain security measures to ensure response readiness and for their security personnel to maintain performance capability.
The NRC is providing compiled tables of exemptions using a single Federal Register notice for COVID-19-related exemptions instead of issuing individual Federal Register notices for each exemption. The compiled tables below provide transparency regarding the number and type of exemptions the NRC has issued. Additionally, the NRC publishes tables of approved regulatory actions related to the COVID-19 PHE on its public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/covid-19/reactors/licensing-actions.html.
II. Availability of Documents The tables below provide the facility name, docket number, document description, and ADAMS accession number for each exemption issued. Additional details on each exemption issued, including the exemption request submitted by the respective licensee and the NRCs decision, are provided in each exemption approval listed in the tables below.
