SUBJECT:

RENEWAL OF IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS LICENSE NUMBER 1373 - ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER L-2021-NFR-0000

Dear Dr. Blair:

On July 9, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML21190A251), Idaho State University (ISU) submitted an application for renewal of special nuclear materials license number 1373 (SNM-1373). ISUs application was later revised and supplemented by letters dated December 6, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21351A166), March 4, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22075A290), and March 24, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22091A298). Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 70, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) renewed special nuclear materials license number 1373 (SNM-1373). The license is being renewed for a 10-year term, expiring on January 6, 2033.

Renewal of SNM-1373 meets the regulatory requirements under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(14)(v) for a categorical exclusion not requiring the NRC to conduct an environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act because this licensing action concerns the use of radioactive materials for research and development and for educational purposes.

The NRC staff has revised the following conditions shown in ISUs license, currently in timely renewal status, so that it will read in the renewed license as follows:

9. Authorized use: For use in accordance with the statements, representations, and conditions specified in the licensees application dated July 9, 2021, and the revisions and supplements dated December 6, 2021; March 4, 2022; and March 24, 2022.

10. Authorized place of use: The Lillibridge Engineering Laboratory, Nuclear Engineering Laboratories (i.e., Counting and Radiation Laboratory, Subcritical Assembly Facility, and the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory) at Idaho State University, Pocatello, Idaho.
