SUBJECT:

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - DETERMINATION OF ACCEPTABILITY AND SUFFICIENCY FOR DOCKETING AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING REGARDING THE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - DAVIS/MCCLELLAN NUCLEAR RESEARCH CENTER (EPID NO. L-2020-NFR-0002)

Dear Dr. Mohapatra:

By letter dated June 11, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18179A501), the Regents of the University of California submitted a license renewal application (LRA) for a 20-year renewal of the Class 104c Facility Operating License No. R 130, Docket No. 50 607, for the University of California - Davis McClellan Nuclear Research Center Training, Research, Isotope, General Atomics nuclear reactor. By letter dated July 6, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20188A368), the licensee updated its LRA to reflect its decision to reduce the licensed thermal operating power level from 2.3 megawatt thermal (MWt) to 1.0 MWt, and to eliminate pulsing capability and irradiation of explosive materials in the reactor tank.

Based on the review of the application, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that the Regents of the University of California has submitted sufficient information such that the application is acceptable for docketing in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.33, Contents of applications; general information, and 10 CFR 50.34, Contents of applications; technical information. Information pertaining to the opportunity for hearing can be located in 10 CFR 2.309, Hearing requests, petitions to intervene, requirements for standing, and contentions. However, this determination does not preclude requests for additional information as NRCs review proceeds. The Notice of Acceptability for Docketing of Application and Opportunity to Provide Written Comments and/or Request a Hearing and Order for Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Information is being forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

February 28, 2022

P. Mohapatra If you have any questions regarding the NRC staffs review or if you intend to request additional time to respond, please contact me at (301) 415-0893, or by electronic mail at Geoffrey.Wertz@nrc.gov.
