Approves the License Termination Plan - Parts 2, 20, and 50 - RIN AG56

On April 22, 2003 (68 FR 19711), the NRC published an amendment to its regulations 

to standardize the process for allowing a power reactor licensee to release part of its facility or

site for unrestricted use before the NRC approves the license termination plan (LTP). This type

of release is termed a “partial site release.” This amendment identifies the criteria and

regulatory framework that a licensee will use to request NRC approval for a partial site release

and provides additional assurance that residual radioactivity will meet the radiological criteria for

license termination, even if parts of the site were released before license termination. This

amendment also clarifies that the radiological criteria for unrestricted use apply to a partial site

release. The effective date for § 50.75(g)(4) is November 18, 2003. All remaining sections are

effective on May 22, 2003.

General License for Import of Major Nuclear Reactor Components - Part 110 - RIN AH21

reactor facilities, fuel cycle facilities, ISFSIs, an MRS installation, licensees who possess or

transport special nuclear material or spent fuel, a geological repository operations area, and

gaseous diffusion plants. Some changes will reduce licensee burden by consolidating some

notifications and lengthening, where appropriate, the reporting period for other notifications. 

New requirements will be added to permit the NRC to more effectively carry out its

responsibilities during emergencies and in responding to public, media, and other stakeholder

inquiries during events or conditions at licensees’ facilities. These changes will align the

standards for both the event notification requirements and the safeguards event notification

requirements with previous changes made to the power reactor event notification requirements.
