NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-16]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2507, 
Virginia Electric and Power Co., North Anna Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
issued Amendment 2 to Materials License SNM-2507 held by Virginia 
Electric and Power Company (Dominion) for the receipt, possession, 
transfer, and storage of spent fuel at the North Anna Independent Spent 
Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Louisa County, Virginia. 
The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated May 28, 2002, as supplemented on January 23, 
April 4, and May 21, 2003, Dominion requested to amend its ISFSI 
license to permit the storage of higher initial enrichment and burnup 
fuels in the TN-32 dry storage cask used at North Anna. 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action should be rescinded or modified.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 
June 11, 2003 (68 FR 35013).
    The NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC's public 
documents. These documents may be accessed through the NRC's Public 
Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. If you do not have access to ADAMS, or if there are 
problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC 
Public Document Room Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, 
or by e-mail to [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30 day of June, 2003.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
