Discussion On September 12, 2025, Atomic Alchemy Inc., on behalf of Atomic Alchemy Operators LLC and VIPR Idaho LLC, transmitted to the NRC the first part of an application, pursuant to section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and part 50 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR), “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” for a construction permit for a four-unit, non-power, light-water-cooled, pool-type Versatile Isotope Production Reactor
(VIPR)facility to be located at the Idaho National Laboratory desert site, in Bingham County, Idaho. Each VIPR unit utilizes low-enriched fuel and contains irradiation positions for radiating targets. The VIPR units and related processing hot cells and target fabrication are referred to as the Meitner-1 facility. As part of the construction permit application, Atomic Alchemy Inc., on behalf of Atomic Alchemy Operators LLC and VIPR Idaho LLC, requested an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5) that would allow the submission of the second part of the application, the environmental report, within six months of the first part. The first part of the construction permit application and the exemption request are available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML25255A199 (package) and ML25255A203, respectively. The NRC staff is currently reviewing the exemption request and undertaking its acceptance review of the first part of the construction permit application. If the exemption request is granted and the application is accepted for docketing, a subsequent **Federal Register** notice will be issued that addresses the acceptability of the first part of the application for docketing and provisions for participation of the public in the permitting process. A **Federal Register** notice of receipt and availability for the second part of the construction permit application will be issued after the NRC receives the second part of the application. If the second part of the application is accepted for docketing, a subsequent **Federal Register** notice will be issued that addresses the acceptability of the second part of the application for docketing and provisions for participation of the public in the permitting process. Dated: November 24, 2025. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
