SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ``Notice of issuance,'' the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission) is providing notice of the issuance
of Construction Permit (CP) No. CPAR-1 to US SFR Owner, LLC (USO) and
issuance of the record of decision (ROD) under 10 CFR 51.102,
``Requirement to provide a record of decision; preparation.'' The CP,
which is immediately effective, authorizes USO to construct a power
reactor facility in Lincoln County, Wyoming, as described in the CP
application. With respect to the CP application filed by TerraPower,
LLC on behalf of USO, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the
Commission's regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required
notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that,
among other things, there is reasonable assurance that the activities
authorized by the permit will be conducted in compliance with the rules
and regulations of the Commission, that safety questions will be
satisfactorily resolved by the completion of construction, and that,
taking into consideration siting criteria, the proposed facility can be
constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to
public health and safety, subject to the conditions listed in the CP.
Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee, USO, is technically and
financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that
issuance of the CP will not be inimical to the common defense and
security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC
finds that the findings required by subpart A, ``National Environmental
Policy Act--Regulations Implementing Section 102(2)'' of 10 CFR part
51, ``Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and
Related Regulatory Functions'' have been made.
Accordingly, the immediately effective CP was issued on March 9,
2026.
II. Further Information
The NRC staff prepared a Safety Evaluation (SE) and Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document its evaluation of
the CP application and its findings. The Commission also issued its
Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the uncontested
hearing on March 4, 2026, which serves as the ROD in this proceeding.
The NRC staff also prepared a summary of the ROD that incorporates by
reference the materials contained in the FEIS. In accordance with 10
CFR 2.390, ``Public inspections, exemptions, requests for
withholding,'' of the NRC's ``Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure,''
details with respect to this action, including the SE, FEIS, the
summary of the ROD, and accompanying documentation included in the CP
package, as well as the Commission's hearing decision, are available
online in the ADAMS Public Documents collection at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, persons can access the NRC's
ADAMS, which provides text and image files of NRC's public documents.
