Reports to the NRC
The regulation in 10 CFR 20.2206(a)
provides a list of categories of NRC
licensees that are required to provide
reports of individual radiation dose
monitoring to the NRC. The regulation
in 10 CFR 20.2206(b) states that
licensees who fit a category listed in 10
CFR 20.2206(a), such as STPNOC, shall
submit to the NRC reports of the results
of individual radiation dose monitoring
carried out by the licensee during the
prior year for individuals for whom
monitoring was required by 10 CFR
20.1502. Additionally, the regulation in
10 CFR 20.2206(c) requires that these
reports, covering the preceding year, be
submitted on or before April 30 each
year. The NRC collects radiation dose
data to support decision-making in its
oversight of radiation protection
performance of its licensees. The
preface to NUREG–0713, Volume 42,
‘‘Occupational Radiation Exposure at
Commercial Nuclear Power Reactors
and Other Facilities 2020,’’ dated
September 2022 (ML22276A269), states
that the NRC uses these data, in
combination with other information, to
provide facts regarding routine
occupational exposures to radiation and
radioactive material that occur in
connection with certain NRC-licensed
activities, for use in making decisions
that impact public health and safety.
The Preface to NUREG–0713 provides
examples of how the NRC uses these
data, including:
1. The evaluation of trends, both
favorable and unfavorable, from the
viewpoint of the effectiveness of overall
NRC/licensee radiation protection and
as low as is reasonably achievable
(ALARA) efforts by licensees.
2. The evaluation of the radiological
risk associated with certain categories of
NRC-licensed activities and the
comparative analysis of radiation
protection performance by country,
reactor type, civilian/military, facility,
and industry.
3. Use of the data in the NRC Reactor
Oversight Process for inspection
planning and in the Significance
Determination Process.
4. Use of the data in making evidencebased decisions regarding the radiation
exposure to transient individuals.
5. Use of the data to establish
priorities for the use of NRC health
physics resources: research, standards
development, regulatory program
development, and inspections
conducted at NRC-licensed facilities.
6. Use of the data in answering
Congressional and administrative
inquiries as well as responding to
questions raised by the public.

7. Use of the data to provide radiation
exposure histories to individuals who
were exposed to radiation at NRClicensed facilities.
8. Use of the data in conducting
epidemiologic studies.
As may be seen in the above
description, the NRC’s use of radiation
dose data for occupationally exposed
individuals serves various long-term
initiatives that necessarily depend on
data spanning multiple years in broad
categories of licensees. Therefore, while
the continued collection of this data is
essential to the NRC’s mission as it
pertains to radiation protection, a
licensee’s delay by several months in
reporting the data for its facility would
have minimal impact on the NRC’s
ability to ensure adequate protection of
public health and safety, and would not
impact individual worker safety since
the data pertaining to each worker
would be readily available at the facility
despite the requested delay in reporting
to the NRC. Therefore, the NRC staff
concludes that granting the exemption
would not result in undue hazard to life
or property.

exemption does not involve any
physical changes to the facility. There is
no significant increase in the potential
for or consequences from radiological
accidents because the exemption does
not alter any of the assumptions or
limits in the licensee’s safety analysis.
In addition, the NRC staff determined
that there would be no significant
impacts to biota, water resources,
historic properties, cultural resources,
or socioeconomic conditions in the
region. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22(b), no environmental impact
statement or environmental assessment
need be prepared in connection with the
approval of the requested exemption.

C. Environmental Considerations
The NRC staff determined that the
exemption discussed herein meets the
eligibility criteria for the categorical
exclusion set forth in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25), and there are no
extraordinary circumstances present
that would preclude reliance on this
exclusion. The NRC staff determined,
per 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(B), that the
requirements from which the exemption
is sought involve reporting
requirements.
The NRC staff also determined that
approval of this one-time exemption
involves no significant hazards
consideration because it does not
authorize any physical changes to the
facility or any of its safety systems and
does not involve modifications that
could alter the manner in which facility
structures, systems, and components are
operated and maintained.
There is no significant change in the
types or significant increase in the
amounts of any effluents that may be
released offsite because this exemption
does not affect the types, characteristics,
or quantities of effluents discharged to
the environment. There is no significant
increase in individual or cumulative
public or occupational radiation
exposure because this exemption does
not affect limits on the release of any
radioactive material, or the limits
provided in 10 CFR part 20 for radiation
exposure to workers or members of the
public. There is no significant
construction impact because this

IV. Conclusions
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
20.2301, the exemption is authorized by
law, and will not present an undue
hazard to life and property. Therefore,
the Commission hereby grants STPNOC
a one-time exemption from 10 CFR
20.2206 to delay the reporting of its
REIRS data as required on April 30,
2023, until August 31, 2023.
