⚛️NRC Notice on Facility Operating License Amendments and Comments
Applications for Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses Involving Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Containing Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information and Order Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information
Summary
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) received, and is considering approval of, a request to amend three operating licenses. The license amendment requests are for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3; Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor; and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. For each amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that it involves no significant hazards consideration (NSHC). Because each amendment request contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI), the NRC is issuing an order imposing procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation by persons who file a hearing request or a petition for leave to intervene.
