[Docket Nos. 50
-369 and 50
-370; NRC-2016-0049] Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
- McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Alternative to the Physical Inventory Requirements for Movable In
-Core Detectors AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Exemption; issuance.
SUMMARY
- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an exemption for Renewed Facility Operating License Nos.
NPF-9 and NPF-17, issued to Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the licensee) that would allow an alternative to the physical inventory requirements for movable in
-core detectors for the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 (McGuire), located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. DATES: July 5, 2016.

. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License No s. NPF- 9 and NPF-17 , which authoriz e operation of McGuire. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of two pressurized
-water reactor s located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. II. R equest/Action The regulation in 10 CFR 74.19, "Recordkeeping," identifies recordkeeping requirements applicable to special nuclear material (SNM), and 10 CFR 74.19(c) requires
, in part , that, "each licensee who is authorized to possess special nuclear material, at any one time and site location, in a quantity greater than 350 grams of contained uranium
-235, uranium
-233, or plutonium, or any combination thereof, shall conduct a physical inventory of all special nuclear material in its possession under license at intervals not to exceed 12 months."
The licensee requested an exemption from certain recordkeeping requirements in 10 CFR 74.19(c). The exemption would allow the licensee to seek relief from the physical inventory requirements only for movable incore nuclear detectors that have been removed from service and stored in a location that is not readily accessible and is subject to security modifications. The purpose of this request for exemption is to allow an alternative to the physical inventory
-taking practices for these non
-fuel SNM incore detectors.
III. Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 74.7, "Specific exemptions," the Commission may, upon application of any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR part 74 when the exemptions are authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and are otherwise in the public interest.
The Exemption is Authorized by Law This exemption allows the licensee to have an alternative to the physical inventory requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(c) only for movable incore nuclear detectors that have been removed from service. The NRC staff has determined that granting the licensee's proposed exemption pursuant to 10 CFR 74.7 will not result in a violation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the Commission's regulations. Therefore, the exemption is authorized by law. The Exemption Presents No Undue Risk to Public Health and Safety The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 74.19(c) is to ensure SNM is properly accounted for, appropriately secured, and that authorities are informed of any theft, diversion, or loss. Based
on the information provided, no new accident precursors are created by the description of actions the licensee has provided concerning the physical inventory for the incore nuclear detectors. Thus, the probability of postulated accidents is not increased.
Also, the consequences of postulated accidents are not increased. Therefore, there is no undue risk to public health and safety.
The Exemption is Consistent with the Common Defense and Security The proposed exemption would allow the licensee to address the physical inventory of the non-fuel SNM. The licensee indicated that the overall alternative approach will continue to meet the intent of the physical inventory requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(c). Therefore, the common defense and security are not impacted by this exemption.
IV. Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 74.7, the 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. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC an exemption from the physical inventory requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(c) for McGuire.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, "Finding of n o significant impact," the Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment as published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2016 (81 FR 12132).
The exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23 rd day of June 2016. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
