SUBJECT:

AMENDMENT NO. 13 TO MATERIALS LICENSE NO. SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL-2506 FOR THE PRAIRIE ISLAND INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFIER NO.

L-2024-LLA-0002)

Dear Thomas Conboy:

By letter dated April 2, 2024, as supplemented June 5, 2024, Northern States Power Company (NSPM) submitted proposed Amendment No. 13 to Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) License No. 2506 for the Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. The application proposed to revise the license conditions to describe the inspection intervals similar to Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirement Frequency, allowing up to 1.25 times the specified intervals to account for scheduling challenges, including but not limited to inclement weather, security drills, and refueling outages.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the NSPM application and finds reasonable assurance that: (i) the activities authorized by the amended license can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) these activities will be conducted in compliance with the applicable regulations. The NRC staff further finds the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security. In addition, the staff determined that issuance of Amendment No. 13 meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 51.22(c)(11).

Therefore, the staff will not prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement.

The NRC staff approved the requested license amendment and revised License Conditions 23 (a), 24 (A)(2), and 24(B)(2). The attached amended license supersedes License No. SNM-2506 dated March 5, 2024. Changes made to the attached license are indicated by vertical lines in the right margin. The safety evaluation report is also attached.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The PDR is open by appointment. To make an appointment to visit the PDR, please send an email to PDR.Resource@nrc.gov or call 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

eastern time (ET), Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
