NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-2]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2501 
Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment 11 to Materials License SNM-2501 held by Virginia Electric 
and Power Company (Virginia Power) for the receipt, possession, 
transfer, and storage of spent fuel at the Surry Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Surry County, Virginia. The 
amendment is effective the date of issuance.
    By application dated April 5, 1999, as supplemented on February 29, 
2000, VA Power requested to amend its ISFSI license to permit the 
continued storage of burnable poison rod assemblies and/or thimble plug 
devices within the already loaded GNSI CASTOR V/21, Westinghouse MC-10, 
and NAC-I28 casks used at Surry. This 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.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.
    Also in connection with this action, the Commission prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of no Significant Impact 
(FONSI). The EA and FONSI were published in the Federal Register on 
July 3, 2000 (65 FR 41108).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,'' 
a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available 
electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or 
from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document 
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of July 2000.

    For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
E. William Brach,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety 
and Safeguards.
