This final regulatory basis incorporates input from the public, licensees, certificate holders, and other stakeholders provided during the public comment period that ended July 31, 2012. This regulatory basis provides the technical basis to support proceeding with rulemaking to streamline and enhance the Research and Test Reactor (RTR) License Renewal Process. This contemplated rulemaking also recommends conforming changes to address technical issues in existing non-power reactor regulations. The NRC has developed a final technical basis for this proposed rulemaking that describes the agency's overall objectives, conceptual approaches, potential solutions, integration with agency strategic goals, and related technical and regulatory clarity issues.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-10193 RIN NRC-2011-0189 Docket No. PRM-50-102 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Petition for rulemaking; consideration in the rulemaking process. The docket for the petition for rulemaking, PRM-50-102, is closed on April 27, 2012. 10 CFR Part 50 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) will consider the issues raised in the petition for rulemaking (PRM), PRM-50-102, submitted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (NRDC or the petitioner), in the rulemaking process. The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations to require more realistic, hands-on training and exercises on Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs) and Extensive Damage Mitigation Guidelines (EDMGs). The NRC determined that the issues raised in the PRM are appropriate for consideration and will consider them in the ongoing Fukushima Near Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 8 rulemaking.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-9336 RIN 3150-AJ11 NRC-2012-0031 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Advance notice of proposed rulemaking. Submit comments by June 18, 2012. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is only able to ensure consideration of comments received on or before this date. 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to begin the process of potentially amending its regulations to strengthen and integrate onsite emergency response capabilities. The NRC seeks public comment on specific questions and issues with respect to possible revision to the NRC's requirements for onsite emergency response capabilities, and development of both new requirements and the supporting regulatory basis. This regulatory action is one of the actions stemming from the NRC's lessons-learned efforts associated with the March 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in Japan.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-6843 RIN NRC-2011-0189 Docket No. s. PRM-50-101 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Petition for rulemaking; consideration in the rulemaking process. The docket for the petition for rulemaking, PRM-50-101, is closed on March 21, 2012. 10 CFR Part 50 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) will consider the issues raised in the petition for rulemaking (PRM), PRM-50-101, submitted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (NRDC or the petitioner), in the rulemaking process. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend its regulations to require each operating and new reactor licensee to establish station blackout (SBO) mitigation strategies and resources. The NRC determined that the issues raised in the PRM are appropriate for consideration and will consider them in the planned “Station Blackout” rulemaking.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-6665 RIN 3150-AJ08 NRC-2011-0299 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Advance notice of proposed rulemaking. Submit comments by May 4, 2012. Comments received after the comment period deadline will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is only able to ensure consideration of comments received on or before the end of the public comment period. Due to priority of this regulatory action and the associated effort on the part of the Commission to expedite the action, the Commission will not accept requests for extensions of the public comment period unless extraordinary circumstances exist. 10 CFR Part 50 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to begin the process of considering amendments of its regulations that address a condition known as station blackout (SBO). SBO involves the loss of all onsite and offsite alternating current (ac) power at a nuclear power plant. The NRC seeks public comment on specific questions and issues with respect to possible revisions to the NRC's requirements for addressing SBO conditions to develop new SBO requirements and a supporting regulatory basis. This regulatory action is one of the near-term actions based on lessons-learned stemming from the March 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi accident in Japan.
