The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed its review of the request.

The NRC has determined that the proposed change to SNM-124 is acceptable, and issuance of this license amendment will not significantly impact the public health and safety and the environment, will not be inimical to the common defense and security, and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security.
