Treatment of Natural Phenomena Hazards in Fuel Cycle Facilities
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Generic letter; issuance.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing the
availability of final Generic Letter 2015-01, ``Treatment of Natural
Phenomena Hazards in Fuel Cycle Facilities.'' The generic letter
requests information from licensees of fuel cycle facilities to
demonstrate if compliance is being maintained with the regulatory
requirements and applicable license conditions regarding the treatment
of natural phenomena events in the facilities' safety assessments, and
to determine if additional NRC regulatory action is necessary to ensure
that licensees are in compliance with their current licensing basis and
existing NRC's regulations. The NRC will use the information submitted
by licensees in response to the generic letter to determine if
additional regulatory action is warranted.
DATES: The final generic letter is available as of June 29, 2015.
