Attachment--Order Approving the Transfer of License and Conforming
Amendment
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-608; Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001]
In the Matter of SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc.
ORDER APPROVING THE INDIRECT TRANSFER OF LICENSE AND CONFORMING
AMENDMENT
I.
SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. (SHINE) is the holder of
Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001, which authorizes construction of the
SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility. SHINE has proposed to
construct and operate a facility in Janesville, Wisconsin for the
production of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) through the irradiation and
processing of a uranyl sulfate solution. The proposed facility would
comprise an irradiation facility and radioisotope production facility.
The irradiation facility would consist of eight subcritical operating
assemblies (or irradiation units), which would each be licensed as a
utilization facility, as defined in title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Sec. 50.2, ``Definitions.'' The radioisotope
production facility would consist of three hot cell structures,
licensed collectively as a production facility, as defined in 10 CFR
Sec. 50.2. The irradiation facility and radioisotope production
facility are collectively referred to as the SHINE Medical Isotope
Production Facility.
II.
By application dated December 11, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access
and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18347A215), as
supplemented by letter dated March 8, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML19071A055), SHINE requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC, the Commission) consent to the indirect transfer of
Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 for the SHINE Medical Isotope
Production Facility, currently held by SHINE. The indirect transfer
would result from the establishment of a holding company, Illuminated
Holdings, Inc. (Illuminated). The indirect transfer request was
submitted to the NRC for approval pursuant to Section 184,
``Inalienability of Licenses,'' of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (AEA), and 10 CFR Sec. 50.80, ``Transfer of licenses.''
SHINE also requested, pursuant to 10 CFR Sec. 50.90, ``Application
for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit,''
the issuance of an administrative conforming amendment to the license
to reflect the proposed transfer. Specifically, the amendment would
revise SHINE's construction permit to reflect SHINE's new name, SHINE
Medical Technologies, LLC (SHINE LLC), resulting from its conversion
from a corporation into a single-member limited liability company,
owned and controlled by Illuminated.
Notice of NRC consideration of the indirect license transfer
application was published in the Federal Register (FR) on February 20,
2019 (84 FR 5116), and included an opportunity to comment, request a
hearing, and petition for leave to intervene. No comments or hearing
requests were received.
Pursuant to 10 CFR Sec. 50.80, no license for a production or
utilization facility, or any right thereunder, shall be transferred,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, through
transfer of control of the license to any person, unless the Commission
gives its consent in writing. Upon review of the information in the
application, as supplemented, and other information before the
Commission, and relying upon the representations and agreements
contained in the application, as supplemented, the NRC staff has
determined that SHINE LLC would be qualified to be the holder of
Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001, and that the indirect transfer of
the license, as described in the application, as supplemented, is
otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations,
and orders issued by the Commission pursuant thereto.
Upon review of the application for a conforming amendment to
Construction Permit No. CPMIF-001 to reflect the indirect transfer of
the license, the NRC staff determined the following:
(1) The application for the proposed license amendment complies
with the standards and requirements of the AEA, and the Commission's
rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I, ``Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.''
(2) The facility will be constructed in conformity with the
application, as supplemented, the provisions of the
[[Page 26170]]
Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission.
(3) There is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by
the proposed license amendment can be conducted without endangering the
health and safety of the public, and that such activities will be
conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations.
(4) The issuance of the proposed license amendment will not be
inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety
of the public.
(5) The issuance of the proposed license amendment is in accordance
with 10 CFR part 51, ``Environmental Protection Regulations for
Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions,'' of the
Commission's regulations, and all applicable requirements have been
satisfied.
The findings set forth above are supported by an NRC safety
evaluation dated May 20, 2019.
III.
Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, and 184 of the AEA,
Title 42 of the United States Code Sections 2201(b), 2201(i), and 2234;
and 10 CFR Sec. 50.80, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for
the indirect transfer of the license, as described herein, is approved
for the SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, consistent with 10 CFR Sec. 2.1315,
``Generic determination regarding license amendments to reflect
transfers,'' paragraph (b), the license amendment that makes changes,
as indicated in Enclosure 2 to the cover letter forwarding this Order,
to conform the license to reflect the subject indirect license transfer
is approved. The amendment shall be issued and made effective at the
time the proposed indirect license transfer is completed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that SHINE shall, at least 2 business days
prior to closing, inform the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation in writing of the date of closing of the indirect license
transfer for the SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility. Should the
proposed transfer of the license not be completed within 1 year of this
Order's date of issuance, this Order shall become null and void,
provided, however, that upon written application and for good cause
shown, such date may be extended by order.
This Order is effective upon issuance.
For further details with respect to this Order, see the application
dated December 11, 2018, as supplemented by letter dated March 8, 2019,
and the associated NRC safety evaluation dated May 20, 2019, which are
available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document
Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike
(first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 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.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 20th day of May 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
