SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. APPLICATION FOR ORDER APPROVING INDIRECT TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF CONSTRUCTION PERMIT RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (PUBLIC)

The NRC staff determined that additional information was required (Reference 1) to enable the continued review of the SHINE Medical Technology, Inc. (SHINE) application for an order approving the indirect transfer of control of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 and conforming administrative construction permit amendment (Reference 2). The following information is provided by SHINE in response to the NRC staff's request.

The regulation, 10 CFR 50.33(f)(1), states, in part, that a construction permit applicant shall submit estimates of the total construction and related fuel cycle costs.

The total estimated costs of construction provided in Section VI, "Financial Qualifications," of SHINE's application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment differ from the initial total estimated costs of construction provided initially in Section 15. 1, "Financial Ability to Construct the SHINE Facility," in SHINE's preliminary safety analysis report (ADAMS Accession No. ML15258A385). Based on the information provided in SHINE's application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment, the basis for SHINE's current estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs is not clear to the NRG staff. This information is necessary for the NRG staff to determine whether SHINE LLC would be financially qualified and would possess or have reasonable assurance of obtaining the funding necessary to cover estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs following the establishment of Illuminated.

Provide the basis for the current estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs provided in SHINE's application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment. Include the basis for the estimates of total production plant costs, plant equipment, uranium inventory cost for the first year of operation, and the total estimated cost. The basis could include information related to construction and related fuel cycle costs for similar facilities; input and experience from SHINE's prime construction contractor; design changes; or other new information made available to or developed by SHINE since its initial construction cost estimates.

SHINE Response The estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs provided in Section VI of Reference 2 is an update of the estimate provided in the SHINE Response to RAI FA-1 (Reference 3). The basis for the current estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs are described below for each of the cost estimate line items delineated in Reference 2.

Page 1 of 7

Total production plant costs {including support facilities)

The total production plant cost estimates are comprised of two elements: (1) Facility structure, support facilities, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and piping systems; and (2) Process-oriented systems. The basis for the cost estimate of each element is below.

1. Facility structure, support facilities, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and piping systems SHINE's prime construction contractor, Baker Concrete Construction, Inc. (Baker),

prepared a cost estimate for the facility structure, support facilities, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and piping systems. Baker's estimate was derived using drawings and specifications prepared by SHINE as well as input from potential subcontractors and vendors. This serves as the basis for the cost estimate of this element of SHIN E's total production plant costs.

2. Process-oriented systems SHINE personnel have completed a cost estimating process for process-oriented systems based on the development of over 180 preliminary equipment specifications.

SHINE used these equipment specifications to initiate a request for quote process with prospective equipment vendors. The vendors provided SHINE with quotes for the cost of fabricating SHINE's process-oriented systems. These vendor quotes serve as the basis for the cost estimate of SHIN E's process-oriented systems.

Plant equipment The plant equipment cost estimate is specific to the neutron driver assembly systems that SHINE intends to purchase from Phoenix, LLC (Phoenix). SHINE has a binding contract with Phoenix that specifies the cost of the neutron driver assembly systems on a firm-fixed basis.

SHINE's binding contract with Phoenix serves as the basis for the plant equipment cost estimate.

Uranium inventory cost for first year of operation The estimated costs of low enriched uranium are based on information provided by the U.S.

Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Production Office and Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. SHINE has had an ongoing, constructive dialogue with the NNSA to help provide a rough order of magnitude estimate to serve as the basis for the SHINE uranium inventory cost for the first year of operation.

The SHINE uranium inventory cost for first year of operation is based on the total amount of uranium required for the initial target solution batches and includes enough uranium to operate during the startup, testing, and initial operating cycle, as well as spare material to provide ample operational flexibility.

Total estimated cost The total estimated cost is a summation of the cost estimate line items described above.

Proprietary Information - Withheld from Public Disclosure Under 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4)

The regulation, 10 CFR 50.33(()(1), states, in part, that a construction permit applicant shall submit information to demonstrate that it possesses or will possess the funds necessary to cover estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs. Applicants are also to provide the source(s) of the funds to cover these costs. Additionally, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix C, Section II, "Applicants which are newly formed entities," states, in part, that for each source of funding, the applicant should describe in detail the legal and financial relationships upon which it is relying for financial assistance. This may include copies of agreements or contracts, as necessary.

While SHINE has provided the amounts of financing commitments remaining for use in its development and construction project, its application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment does not 1) indicate the amount of this funding dedicated to covering construction and related fuel cycle costs or 2) provide the basis for determining that there is reasonable assurance that amount of currently committed and future funding will be sufficient to cover estimated total construction and related fuel cycle costs. It is also unclear whether previously committed funding will be used for construction and related fuel cycle costs. This information is necessary for NRG staff to determine that SHINE LLC would possess or have reasonable assurance of obtaining the funding necessary to cover estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs following the establishment of Illuminated.

a. Clarify the amounts of committed financing for each source described in Section VI of SHINE's application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment dedicated to construction and related fuel cycle costs, including the dedicated amounts of existing cash-on-hand; the Deerfield Management Company, L.P. financing; the City of Janesville loan packages and guarantees; and 90 acres of land for the building site provided by the City of Janesville. For each source of funding, describe in detail the legal and financial relationships upon which SHINE is relying for financial assistance, including copies of agreements or contracts, as necessary.
b. Provide the amounts and sources of previously committed financing, if any, to be applied to construction and related fuel cycle costs.

Appendix C, Section II of 10 CFR Part 50, requires that a newly formed entity include in its application a statement of its assets, liabilities, and capital structure as of the date of the application.

By letter dated June 13, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18166A178), SHINE submitted to the NRG its annual financial report, including certified financial statements, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50. 71, "Maintenance of records, making of reports," paragraph (b).

However, SHINE's application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment does not indicate whether its most recent financial report reflects its current financial statements as of the date of its application. This information is necessary for the NRG staff to determine whether SHINE LLC would be financially qualified and would possess or have reasonable assurance of obtaining the funding necessary to cover estimated construction and related fuel cycle costs following the establishment of Illuminated.

Provide current financial statements, reflecting, as applicable, either balance sheets and operating statements covering the latest complete accounting year together with all pertinent notes thereto and certification by a public accountant or a statement of assets, liabilities, and capital structure as of the date of the application.

SHINE Response provides statements of assets, liabilities, and capital structure as of December 31, 2018.

The regulation, 10 CFR 50.34(a)(9), requires that an applicant provide its technical qualifications to engage in the activities proposed in its application in accordance with the regulations in 10 CFR, Chapter I.

While SHINE indicated in its application for indirect license transfer and conforming amendment that the formation of a holdingrcompany would not change the technical qualifications of SHINE LLC, it has not provided a basis for the technical qualifications of SHINE LLC as required in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(9) and 10 CFR 50.80(b)(1)(ij. This information is necessary for the NRG staff to determine whether any changes in staffing and/or facility design may impact the technical qualifications of SHINE LLC to construct the proposed SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility since the issuance of Construction Permit CPMIF-001 and following the establishment of Illuminated.

Provide the basis for SHINE's determination that SHINE LLC would be technically qualified to construct the proposed SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility following the establishment of Illuminated, including the technical qualifications of key personnel and information indicating whether any staffing or design changes would impact the technical qualifications of SHINE LLC since the issuance of Construction Permit CPMIF-001.

SHINE Response SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. is technically qualified to design and construct the proposed SHINE medical isotope production facility as stated within Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001.

Page 5 of 7

The transition to Illuminated Holdings, Inc. and SHINE Medical Technologies, LLC (both of which would be owned by the current owners of SHINE) will have no impact on the management, staff, or technical qualifications of SHINE.

The primary basis for SHINE's technical qualification determination is the technical acumen of SHINE's management and staff. Technical qualifications of key personnel are provided in Attachment 2. Staffing changes since the issuance of the construction permit have resulted in overall staffing compliment growth, including expanded engineering department staff. The transition to Illuminated Holdings, Inc. and SHINE Medical Technologies, LLC, will have no impact on SHINE ownership, management, or staff, and therefore, will have no impact on SHINE's technical qualifications. Staffing changes (e.g., increased engineering staff) since the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 have positively impacted SHINE's technical qualifications.

The design of the SHINE medical isotope production facility has progressed since the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 and the resulting design changes are within the scope of SHIN E's technical capabilities. Changes incorporated since the issuance of the construction permit have included simplification of the design and elimination of complex processes (e.g., elimination of the uranyl nitrate conversion system including the uranium extraction and thermal denitration subsystems). Design changes since the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 have positively impacted SHINE's technical qualifications.

Since the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 SHINE has constructed, and is in the process of testing, a prototype of the production facility accelerator. Design, procurement, construction, and testing of the prototype and supporting equipment has allowed SHINE to gain operating experience, train employees, and develop maintenance techniques prior to construction of the medical isotope production facility, positively impacting SHINE's technical qualifications.

Further enhancing SHINE's technical qualifications, SHINE has partnered with industry experts in several key technical areas. SHINE has chosen Baker to be the prime contractor for the construction of the medical isotope production facility. SHINE has chosen Rock Creek Innovations, LLC to lead design and implementation of the instrumentation and control protection systems for SHINE's medical isotope production facility. Additionally, SHINE and Phoenix have entered into an exclusive long-term development and supply agreement to provide the accelerator hardware needed to safely operate SHINE's medical isotope production facility. Each of these partnerships have positively impacted SHIN E's technical qualifications.

Through the process of design progression, with the accompanying staffing compliment growth, prototype construction and testing, and partnerships with key industry experts, SHINE's technical qualifications have been enhanced since the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001. The transition to Illuminated Holdings, Inc and SHINE Medical Technologies, LLC will have no impact on the technical qualifications of SHINE because this transition will not impact SHINE's management, staff, or partnerships.
