Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS)
Items of Interest Week Ending April 29, 2022 NMSS Staff Issued a License Amendment to Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC)
On April 25, 2022, the staff issued an amendment to implement a revision to the DAEC Emergency Plan (ML22066A763). The revised plan reflects the requirements associated with emergency preparedness necessary for the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI)-
only configuration, consistent with the permanent removal of all spent fuel from the DAEC spent fuel pool, which was completed on April 10. The ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan was the final action needed to fully align the DAEC licensing basis to the ISFSI-only phase of the decommissioning process.
NMSS Staff Held a Pre-Application Meeting with Niowave, Inc On April 27, 2022, NMSS staff held a virtual pre-application meeting with representatives from Niowave, Inc. to discuss their plans for submitting a Part 70 license application for a Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) medical isotope facility in Lansing, MI. The facility would produce about 5 percent of the domestic Mo-99 demand. During the meeting, representatives from Niowave described their medical isotope production activities authorized under two separate licenses issued by NRC Region III and planned commercial Mo-99 production facility.
Additional pre-application meetings are planned on focused topics of review during the next several months . A portion of the meeting was closed to the public to give the NRC staff an opportunity to discuss security-related and proprietary information.
Use of Electronic Signatures by Medical Licensees on Internal Documents: Draft Regulatory Issue Summary; Discontinuation; 10 CFR Chapter I (NRC-2018-0185)
On April 29, 2022, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 09172) discontinuing the publication of draft regulatory issue summary (RIS), Use of Electronic Signatures by Medical Licensees on Internal Documents, because the guidance no longer provides useful information as the contents are now considered standard practice. The effective date for discontinuation of the draft RIS is April 29, 2022.
Decomissioning Financial Assurance for Sealed and Unsealed Radiographic Materials:
Regulatory Basis; Request for Comment; 10 CFR Parts 30 and 70 [NRC-2017-0031; RiN 3150-AK52)
On April 28, 2022, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 09099) requesting comment on a regulatory basis to support a rulemaking that would amend its regulations for decommissioning financial assurance for sealed and unsealed radioactive materials. The rulemaking would revise NRCs decommissioning funding requirements for radioactive material based on the relative risk to public health and safety from different radioisotopes, including naturally occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive material. The potentially affected licensees are those authorized to possess byproduct and special nuclear material. Comments are requested by June 27, 2022.
