7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY REACTOR NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. R-37 DOCKET NO.50-020 [NRC-2010-0313]
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued renewed Facility Operating License No. R-37, held by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the licensee), which authorizes continued operation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR-II), located in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The MITR-II is a tank-type, light-water-cooled-and-moderated, heavy-water-reflected research reactor licensed to operate at a steady-state power level of 6 megawatts thermal power. Renewed Facility Operating License No. R-37 will expire at midnight 20 years from its date of issuance.
The renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in Title 10, Chapter 1, "Nuclear Regulatory Commission," of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The Agency afforded an opportunity for hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing published in the Federal Register on May 8, 2008, at 73 FR 26148. The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-37 and concluded, based on that evaluation, that the licensee can continue to operate the facility without endangering the health and safety of the public. The NRC staff also prepared an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for license renewal, noticed in the Federal Register on October 5, 2010, at 75 FR 61220, and concluded that renewal of the license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
For details with respect to the application for renewal, see the licensee's letter dated July 8, 1999 (ML080950435), as supplemented by letters dated February 10 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
