Abstract
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of May 14, 2001, for the direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of February 27, 2001 (66 FR 12435). This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations by revising the BNFL Fuel Solutions FuelSolutions<SUP>TM</SUP> cask system listing within the "List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks" to include Amendment No. 1 to the Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Amendment No. 1 will modify the present cask system design to allow the Big Rock Point nuclear facility to store mixed-oxide fuel assemblies, partial fuel assemblies, and damaged fuel assemblies (in a can) under a general license. This document confirms the effective date.
