NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2501

[Docket No. 72-2]


Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Independent Spent Fuel
Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has
issued Amendment 12 to Materials License SNM-2501 held by Virginia

[[Page 62769]]

Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) for the receipt,
possession, transfer, and storage of spent fuel at the Surry
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Surry
County, Virginia. The amendment is effective as of the date of
issuance.
    By application dated November 15, 1999, as supplemented on May 26,
August 7, and August 14, 2000, Virginia Power requested to amend its
ISFSI license to permit the use of the TN-32 dry storage cask to store
spent fuel with a higher initial enrichment and burnup than currently
specified in the Technical Specifications for the Surry ISFSI. This
amendment 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 rules and regulations in 10
CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the
action should be rescinded or modified.
    Also in connection with this action, the Commission prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). The EA and FONSI were published in the Federal Register on
September 22, 2000 (65 FR 57407).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's ``Rules of Practice,''
a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or
from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://
www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of October 2000.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
E. William Brach,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety
and Safeguards.
