SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC has issued renewed Facility Operating License No. R-56,
held by the licensee, which authorizes continued operation of the UFTR,
located in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. The UFTR is an
Argonaut-type graphite-moderated and reflected light water cooled
research reactor licensed to operate at a steady-state power level of
100 kilowatts thermal power. The renewed Facility Operating License No.
R-56 will expire 20 years from its date of issuance.
The renewed facility operating license 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
regulations in chapter I, of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, and sets forth those findings in the renewed facility
operating license. The agency afforded an opportunity for hearing in
the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing published in the Federal Register
on May 27, 2008 (73 FR 30424). The NRC did not receive a request for a
hearing or for a petition for leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC prepared a safety evaluation report (SER) for the renewal
of Facility Operating License No. R-56 and concluded, based on that
evaluation, that the licensee can continue to operate the facility
without endangering the health and safety of the public. The NRC also
prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant
impact for the renewal of the facility operating license, noticed in
the Federal Register on September 8, 2010 (75 FR 54657), and concluded
that renewal of the facility operating license will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
