SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Based upon the application dated September
17, 2010, as supplemented February 10, June 28 and December 15, 2011;
July 27, 2012; June 14, 2013; and April 24, and September 8, 2014, the
U.S. NRC has issued a renewed license to Exelon Generation Corporation,
LLC (Exelon Generation), for its Calvert Cliffs independent spent fuel
storage installation (ISFSI), located in Calvert County, Maryland. The
renewed license authorizes and requires operation of the Calvert Cliffs
ISFSI in accordance with the provisions of the renewed license and its
TS. The renewed license will expire on November 30, 2052. Exelon's
application for a renewed license complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as amended,
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's
regulations in chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The
agency afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of
Opportunity for a Hearing published in the Federal Register on April
25, 2011 (76 FR 22935). The NRC received no request for a hearing or
petition for leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) for the
renewal of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation,
the ISFSI will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The
NRC staff also prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of
No Significant Impact for the renewal of this license on June 8, 2012
(77 FR 34093). The EA and Finding of No Significant Impact, which was
re-issued on October 23, 2014, (79 FR 63444), and includes the NRC
staff's consideration of the impacts of continued storage of spent
nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG-2157, ``Generic Environmental
Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Fuel'') as an appendix
to the EA, concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
