[External_Sender] RE: [External] State Consultation-License Amendment Request TMI-1 in Support of the ISFSI Only Security Plan Date:
Thursday, March 10, 2022 1:17:15 PM
Dear Ms. Snyder,
The proposed TMI-1 ISFSI Only Security Plan license amendment request contains site specific security information (security plan and safeguards contingency plan) that is outside the purview of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvanias Nuclear Safety Oversight Program (PADEP).
The PADEP has no comments on the NRCs proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration (NSHC) determination for this proceeding and that it would meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion from environmental review set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Thank you for the opportunity to review.
Respectfully,
Stephen Acker Chief Nuclear Safety Division PADEP/Bureau of Radiation Protection

Dear Mr. Acker,
On November 16, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an Order Approving Transfer of Exelon Generation Company, LLC Fleet Licenses and Draft Conforming License Amendments (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML21277A248). On February 1, 2022, Constellation Energy, LLC notified the NRC that the Exelon Generation Company, LLC changed its name to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC and the indirect transfer of the cited licenses, to include Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1), located in Dauphin County, PA, was completed on February 1, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22032A333). Also, in the February 1, 2022 letter, Constellation Energy, LLC stated that:
Prior to the indirect license transfers, Exelon made docketed submittals to the NRC that requested specific licensing actions, such as license amendment requests, relief requests, exemption requests, etc. This letter requests that the NRC continue to process all pending licensing actions on the schedules previously requested by Exelon.
By letter dated April 29, 2021, (ADAMS Accession No. ML21145A183) Exelon Generation Company, LLC requested amendment to Renewed Facility License No. DRP-50 for TMI-1 and the approval of the proposed TMI-1 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, and Safeguards Contingency Plan (ISFSI Only Security Plan) and Alternative Measures. The proposed amendment would revise the TMI-1 license to reflect the requirements for an ISFSI only configuration, consistent with the permanent removal of all spent fuel from the spent fuel pool (SFP).
If approved, the amendment will be implemented within ninety (90) days following Constellation Energys submittal of written notification to the NRC that all TMI-1 irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies have been transferred out of the SFP and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI.
Per 10 CFR 50.91(a)(7)(b), I am consulting with you. The NRCs proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration (NSHC) determination for this proceeding was published in Federal Register, Vol. 86, No. 126, Tuesday, July 6, 2021. I have attached a courtesy copy of the Federal Register Notice for your use. The licensees NSHC is located in its application on Pages 5-6 of Attachment 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21145A183).
We are considering finalizing this proposed determination. Also, we believe this amendment request would meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion from environmental review set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
If the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has comments on the TMI-1 ISFSI Only Security Plan license amendment request or our proposed NSHC determination, please e-mail me your comments by Close of Business (COB) March 23, 2022. If you do not have comments, I would appreciate it if you would please provide an email that you have no comments by COB March 23, 2022.
If you have any questions, please contact me. My contact information is below.
Thank you.
