SUBJECT:
PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION UNIT 1 - ISSUANCE OF EXEMPTION FROM SECURITY REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 50 AND 10 CFR PART 73 (TAC NO. J00384)
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
The Commission has granted Exelon Nuclear, the licensee for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1, the enclosed exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p) and the fixed site physical protection requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. This action is in response to your letter dated November 18, 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 SNM from the 10 CFR Part 50 licensed site. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants Exelon Nuclear an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p) at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1.
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 security requirements for the spent fuel containing SNM no longer being the responsibility of the licensee. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants Exelon Nuclear an exemption from the physical protection requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1.
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 was published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2011 (76 FR 37842). 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.
M.J. Pacilio 2 The part of this licensing action dealing with safeguards plans meets the categorical exclusion provision in 10 CFR Part 51.22(c)(25), 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.
The exemption will be published in the Federal Register. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC
=s Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
