SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated May 31, 2013 (SMT-2013-023, 
ADAMS Accession No.), SHINE submitted the second and final part of its 
two-part application for a construction permit. By letter dated 
September 25, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13269A378), SHINE 
supplemented this submission with a discussion of preliminary plans for 
coping with emergencies, as required by section 50.34(a)(10) of Title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), completing its 
application for a construction permit. An exemption from certain 
requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5) granted by the Commission on March 
20, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13072B195), in response to a letter 
from SHINE dated February 18, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13051A007), 
allowed SHINE to submit its construction permit application in two 
parts. Specifically, the exemption allowed SHINE to submit a portion of 
its application for a construction permit up to six months prior to the 
remainder of the application regardless of whether or not an 
environmental impact statement or a supplement to an environmental 
impact statement is prepared during the review of its application. If 
granted, the construction permit would allow SHINE to construct a 
medical radioisotope production facility in Janesville, Wisconsin.
    Part one of SHINE's construction permit application was submitted 
by letter dated March 26, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13088A192). In 
accordance with 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5), this partial application submittal 
contained the following:

 The description and safety assessment of the site required by 
10 CFR 50.34(a)(1)
 The environmental report required by 10 CFR 50.30(f)
 The filing fee information required by 10 CFR 50.30(e) and 10 
CFR 170.21
 The general information required by 10 CFR 50.33
 The agreement limiting access to classified information 
required by 10 CFR 50.37

    The NRC staff acknowledged receipt of this partial application for 
a construction permit under 10 CFR part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities,'' in the Federal Register (78 FR 
29390) on May 20, 2013. On June 25, 2013, NRC staff determined that 
part one of SHINE's application for a construction permit was complete 
and acceptable for docketing (ADAMS Accession No. ML13150A280), 
assigning the application Docket No. 50-608.
    The NRC staff has now completed its acceptance review of part two 
of SHINE's application for a construction permit and determined that 
this second and final portion of SHINE's two-part construction permit 
application, as supplemented, contains the remainder of the preliminary 
safety analysis report required by 10 CFR 50.34(a) and was submitted in 
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5). Therefore, the 
application is complete and acceptable for docketing. SHINE's 
construction permit application, in its entirety, has been placed under 
Docket No. 50-608. Please reference this docket number in all future 
correspondence concerning the review of the SHINE construction permit 
application.
    The NRC staff is now prepared to begin a detailed technical review 
of the SHINE construction permit application. In the coming weeks, a 
review schedule will be published that identifies significant 
milestones and an expected review completion date. Docketing of the 
application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional 
information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it 
predict whether the Commission will grant or deny the requested 
construction permit. In support of the review of the SHINE construction 
permit application, a hearing will be conducted by the Commission or a 
Board designated by the Chief of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 
Panel in accordance with procedures in 10 CFR Part 2, ``Agency Rules of 
Practice and Procedure.'' A copy of the construction permit application 
will be referred to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards for a 
review and report consistent with 10 CFR 50.58, ``Hearings and report 
of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards.'' A future Federal 
Register notice will announce the opportunity to petition for leave to 
intervene in the hearing required for the application by 10 CFR 50.58 
as well as the time and place of the hearing. Additionally, in 
accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, ``Environmental Protection Regulations 
for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions,'' the 
Commission will also prepare an environmental impact statement for the 
proposed action. If the Commission finds that the SHINE construction

[[Page 73898]]

permit application meets the applicable standards of the Atomic Energy 
Act and the Commission's regulations, and that required notifications 
to other agencies and bodies have been made, the Commission will issue 
a construction permit, in the form and containing conditions and 
limitations that the Commission finds appropriate and necessary.
    This notice of docketing of the construction permit application 
does not begin a review to determine whether the proposed SHINE 
facility should operate. A separate application for an operating 
license must be submitted for NRC review and approval and, if docketed, 
would be the subject of a separate Federal Register notice.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of December, 2013.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Alexander Adams, Jr.,
Chief, Research and Test Reactors Licensing Branch, Division of Policy 
and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
