NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2012-0004]
Receipt of Request for Action
Notice is hereby given that by petition dated July 27, 2011, the
Natural Resources Defense Council (petitioner) has requested that the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) order licensees to comply with
12 specific recommendations in the NRC Near-Term Task Force (NTTF)
Report, ``Recommendations for Enhancing Reactor Safety in the 21st
Century,'' of July 12, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML111861807). As the basis for this
request, the petitioner cites the NTTF Report as the rationale and
basis of the petition.
The request is being treated pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206 of the Commission's regulations. The
request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation (NRR). As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, appropriate
action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable time. The
petitioner declined an opportunity to address the NRR Petition Review
Board (PRB). After meeting internally, the PRB's decision was to accept
the petition for review. Additionally, the PRB noted that the topic of
the petition is undergoing NRC review as part of the lessons-learned
from the Fukushima event. The PRB intends to use the Fukushima review
to inform its final decision on whether to implement the requested
actions.
A copy of the petition (ADAMS Accession No. ML11216A085) is
available for inspection at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR),
located at One White Flint North, Room O1-F21, 11555 Rockville Pike
(first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20874. Publicly available documents
created or received at the NRC are accessible electronically through
ADAMS in the NRC Library at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

accessing the documents located in ADAMS should contact the NRC PDR
Reference staff by telephone at 1-(800) 397-4209 or (301) 415-4737, or

Dated December 28, 2011, at Rockville, Maryland.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
