SUBJECT:
N.S. SAVANNAH - ISSUANCE OF EXEMPTION FROM REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 50 AND 10 CFR PART 73 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (TAC NO. J00383)
Dear Mr. Koehler:
The Commission has granted U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MARAD), the licensee for the N.S. Savannah (NSS), the enclosed exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p) and 10 CFR Part 73. This action is in response to your letter dated November 8, 2010.
The Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a), an exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common defense and security based on the continued maintenance of appropriate security requirements for special nuclear material (SNM). Additionally, special circumstances are present based on the removal of the spent nuclear fuel containing special nuclear material from the 10 CFR Part 50 licensed site. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants MARAD an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p) for the NSS.
The Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 73.5, an exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest based on the removal of the SNM which obviates the physical protection security requirements for the licensee. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants MARAD an exemption from the physical protection requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 for the NSS.
The part of this licensing action dealing with safeguards plans meets the categorical exclusion provision in, as that part of this action is an exemption from the requirements of the Commission's regulations and (i) there is no significant hazards consideration; (ii) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite; (iii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; (iv) there is no significant construction impact; (v) there is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents; and (vi) the requirements from which an exemption is sought involve safeguard plans. Therefore, that part of the action does not require either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement.
E. W Koehler 2 As previously stated, the part of this exemption dealing with safeguards plans met the categorical exclusion provision in 10 CFR Part 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(F). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and 51.35, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact related to the part of this exemption not dealing with safeguards plans (i.e.; transportation of SNM, interaction with emergency planning, and background checks) was published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2011 (76 FR 59174). Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has determined that issuance of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. The exemption will be published in the Federal Register. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC
