Introduction Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 10 CFR 70.23(a)(7) and (b), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued Construction Authorization No. CAMOX-001 to Duke Cogema Stone & Webster (the applicant) for construction of a plutonium processing and fuel fabrication plant. The plant will be located on the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, and will be known as the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), the Commission's rules and regulations, and by the requirements of Section 102(2)(A) and
(C)of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as set forth in Construction Authorization No. CAMOX-001 (CA). II. Further Information The CA is effective as of its date of issuance. For further details see Construction Authorization No. CAMOX-001 (ADAMS Accession No. ML050660392) and the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards' Final Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-1821) dated March 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML050660399). The Final Safety Evaluation Report relies, in part, on information provided in the applicant's construction authorization request dated October 31, 2002 (as subsequently revised). The results of the staff's environmental review are contained in NUREG-1767, “Environmental Impact Statement on the Construction and Operation of a Proposed Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina,” dated January 2005 (ML050240233, ML050240250). On October 25, 2004, the NRC suspended public access to the ADAMS online library and some other parts of its Web site to review documents and remove any that could reasonably be expected to aid a potential terrorist. Related to this effort, the NRC is withholding some records which are deemed to contain sensitive information under 10 CFR 2.390. Publicly available records may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room, located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly available records will be accessible electronically from the Agency-wide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room, and on the Internet at the NRC Web site, *http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html* . Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRC Public Document Room Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of April, 2005. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Brian W. Smith, Acting Branch Chief, Special Projects Branch, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. [FR Doc.

E5-1595 Filed 4-6-05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Workshop To Discuss What Is or Is Not Material to the Completion of Inspections, Tests, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Notice of public workshop. SUMMARY: The NRC needs to establish the basis for categorizing NRC inspection results during new reactor construction under 10 CFR part 52. In order to meet that goal, the NRC is holding a workshop to explore stakeholder views on what types of NRC inspection results could call into question the completion of the ITAAC for a particular certified reactor design. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Goal of the Workshop The determination of whether a nuclear plant licensed under 10 CFR part 52 has been built in accordance with its design is dependent on the satisfactory completion by the licensee of all the related ITAAC. This workshop is for the NRC to understand stakeholder views on why various NRC inspection results may or may not be material to the successful completion of ITAAC. Being “material to an ITAAC” means the satisfactory completion of an ITAAC may be called into question. The labels and groupings previously used to describe NRC construction inspection results may no longer be applicable. The NRC believes it should listen to and understand the views of all stakeholders before reaching a decision on the need for any new groupings and labels to describe NRC construction inspection results. The NRC has made the examples to be discussed during the workshop available electronically at the Commission's Public Document Room in Rockville, Maryland or from the Publicly Available Records
(PARS)component Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) (Accession ML050870507). ADAMS can be accessed via the NRC Web site at *http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html* (the public electronic reading room). All participants are encouraged to review the examples before the workshop and come prepared to discuss their own points of view. Some of the potential topics for discussion could include the following: • Various interpretations of the examples. • The groupings of the examples based on materiality to ITAAC completion. • The need for additional examples in order to capture all possible groupings. • What makes a particular example material to ITAAC. • The possible actions of both the NRC and a licensee for each grouping. Workshop Information DATES: May 4, 2005, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. *Location:* U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Two White Flint North Auditorium on Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland. All visitors should enter through the Two White Flint main entrance. No parking is available at the NRC headquarters. The NRC is located across from the White Flint Metro Station on the Red Line. *Registration:* Individuals planning to attend the workshop are asked to pre-register for the workshop at e-mail address— *CIPWorkshop@NRC.gov.* Please provide the following information when pre-registering: Name; organization; country; and phone number or e-mail address. *Agenda:* The workshop activities will consist of an introduction and discussion of anticipated workshop outcomes; assignment of participants into work teams; work team discussion of and deliberation on construction inspection examples for materiality to ITAAC; and group discussion of work team results.
