Items of Interest Week Ending JANUARY 1, 2021 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program: Direct Final Rule; Confirmation of Effective Date; 10 CFR Part 50 [NRC-2017-0151] RIN 3150-AK07 On December 29, 2020, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 85503) confirming the effective date of February 1, 2021, for the direct final rule that was published in the Federal Register (85 FR 62199) on October 2, 2020. The direct final rule amends the NRCs reactor vessel material surveillance program requirements for commercial light-water reactors.
The direct final rule revises the requirements associated with the testing of specimens contained within surveillance capsules and reporting the surveillance test results. The direct final rule also clarifies the requirements for the design of surveillance programs and the capsule withdrawal schedules for surveillance capsules in reactor vessels purchased after 1982. The effective date of February 1, 2021, for the direct final rule published October 2, 2020, is confirmed.
Updates and Clarifications on the Export of Nuclear Material: Final rule; 10 CFR Part 110;
[NRC-2018-0294] RIN 3150-AK26 On December 31, 2020, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 86793) amending its export and import regulations to maintain the regulatory status quo for nuclear exports to the United Kingdom (U.K.), upon the entry into force of a new civil nuclear cooperation agreement between the United States (U.S.) and the U.K. The amendment will add the U.K. to the list of countries eligible to receive certain small quantities of special nuclear material under a general license, and to the list of countries whose export license applications do not require Executive Branch or Commission level reviews for certain exports of source material or low-enriched uranium. This amendment is necessary to bring the NRCs regulations into conformity with U.S. Government foreign policy and preserve existing provisions for nuclear exports to the U.K. This final rule is effective on December 31, 2020.
