SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of Construction Permit, CPMIF-001 to SHINE and, issuance of the Record of Decision (ROD) under 10 CFR 51.102(c). The construction permit, which is immediately effective, authorizes SHINE to construct a facility that will house eight utilization facilities and one production facility designed for the production of medical radioisotopes, as described in SHINE's application for construction permit, in Janesville, Wisconsin. With respect to the application for the construction permit filed by SHINE, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that, among other things, there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the permit will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, that safety questions will be satisfactorily resolved by the completion of construction, and that, taking into consideration siting criteria, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without under risk to public health and safety, subject to the conditions listed in the construction permit. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that issuance of the license will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required by Subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been made.

Accordingly, the immediately effective construction permit was issued on February 29, 2016.

II. Further Information

The NRC prepared a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document the information reviewed and the NRC's conclusion.

The NRC also prepared a document summarizing the ROD to accompany its action on the construction permit application that incorporates by reference materials contained in the FEIS.
