{"abstract":"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations that govern the license renewal process for certain production or utilization facilities. In this final rule, the NRC collectively refers to these facilities as non-power production or utilization facilities (NPUFs). This final rule revises the definitions of \"non-power reactor,\" \"research reactor,\" and \"testing facility.\" This final rule also eliminates license terms for licenses for facilities used for medical therapy or research and development, other than testing facilities; these licenses are issued under the authority of Sections 104a or 104c of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA). This final rule defines the license renewal process for licenses issued to testing facilities under the authority of Section 104c of the AEA or commercial or industrial NPUFs (including testing facilities) under the authority of Section 103 of the AEA. This final rule requires all NPUF licensees to submit to the NRC final safety analysis report (FSAR) updates at intervals not to exceed 5 years. In addition, this final rule provides an accident dose criterion of 1 Roentgen equivalent man (rem) (0.01 sievert [Sv]) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for NPUFs other than testing facilities. The NRC is also issuing final implementation guidance for this final rule.","action":"Final rule and guidance; issuance.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2024/12/30/2024-30721.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"2","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"20","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"26","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"50","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"51","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"55","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"73","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"140","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"170","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"171","title":10}],"citation":"89 FR 106234","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on January 29, 2025.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["NRC-2011-0087"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Enclosure to SRM-M240904: Edits to the Federal Register Notice, dated September 4, 2024","document_id":"NRC-2011-0087-0056"},{"title":"Memo -
