NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 72-2]

 

Virginia Electric and Power Co. Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Materials License SNM-2501

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 7 to Materials License No. SNM-2501 held by Virginia 
Electric and Power Company for the receipt and storage of spent fuel at 
the Surry ISFSI, located in Surry County, Virginia. The amendment is 
effective as of the date of issuance.
    The amendment revises the Technical Specifications making 
procedural changes to spent fuel characteristics for the CASTOR V/21 
cask and allows use of the CASTOR X/33 cask at the site. These changes 
do not affect fuel receipt, handling, and storage safety. They are 
procedural in nature and result in a change in process operations and 
equipment that does not alter the scope and type of operations 
presently authorized. The safety evaluation for this amendment 
demonstrates that the accident consequences for the analyzed design 
basis accidents remain negligible. There is reasonable assurance that 
the public health and safety will remain protected by activities 
authorized under this amendment and that the environmental impact will 
remain insignificant.
    The applications for the amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendment. Prior public notice of the amendment was not required since 
the amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
    The Commission has determined that the issuance of the amendment 
will not result in any significant environmental impact and that, 
pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, an environmental assessment need not be 
prepared in connection with issuance of the amendment.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
applications for amendment dated December 23, 1988, May 3, 1991, and 
November 19, 1993, and (2) Amendment No. 7 to Materials License No. 
SNM-2501, and (3) the Commission's letter to the licensee dated June 
29, 1994. All of these items are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, 
NW., Washington, DC., and at the Local Public Document Room at the Swem 
Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, 23185.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 29th day of June, 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Charles J. Haughney,
Chief, Storage and Transport Systems Branch Division of Industrial and 
Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS.
