11. The licensee shall comply with the requirements in 10 CFR Part 70, Subpart H, entitled "Additional 

Requirements for Certain Licensees Authorized to Possess a Critical Mass of Special Nuclear Material," 

consistent with the Commission's direction stated in Staff Requirements Memorandum to SECY-07-0146, 

"Regulatory Options for Licensing New Uranium Conversion and Depleted Uranium Deconversion 

Facilities." This condition shall be superseded following the effective date published in the Federal 

Register notice for the final 10 CFR Part 40 rule to implement Integrated Safety Analysis requirements for 

certain source material facilities. The requirements of 10 CFR Part 70, Subpart H shall remain in effect 

until IIFP has completed transition to the 10 CFR Part 40 ISA requirements, consistent with the final rule. 

12. During construction of the IIFP facility, the licensee shall afford to the NRC at all reasonable times, 

opportunity to inspect the premises and facilities and to verify that the facility is being constructed in 

accordance with the requirements of the license and onsite implementing procedures. 

13 Prior to commencing operations of the deconversion facility, IIFP shall conduct an operational readiness 

and management measures verification review and document the results in a report(s). The review must 

verify and document that items relied on for safety and their management measures have been 

implemented to ensure compliance with the integrated safety analysis requirements. IIFP shall provide the 

NRC with a copy of the Operational Readiness Review report(s). The report(s) may address the entire 

facility as a whole or be submitted in parts. Each part must address major subsections of the facility with 

clearly defined boundaries, e.g., the uranium tetrafluoride building. The report(s) for each section of the 

facility must be provided to the NRC no later than 60 days in advance of the start of operations involving 

the possession of more than 2000 kg of depleted UF6 (i.e. the amount allowed for use in pre-operational 

testing). IIFP shall provide NRC opportunity to verify, through review and inspection, the findings of the 

report(s). 

14 a. As required by 10 CFR 40.36(a) the licensee shall provide final copies of proposed financial assurance 

instruments and certification of financial assurance to the NRC for review at least six months before the 

anticipated date for obtaining radioactive material under this license. The licensee shall provide final, 

executed copies of the NRC-approved financial assurance instruments and certification of financial 

assurance to NRC at least 21 days before the anticipated date for receiving the radioactive material at 

the site. The amount of financial assurance provided shall be at least as great as the NRC-approved 

cost estimate. 

 b. The licensee shall not obtain radioactive material under the NRC license, in any form, in an amount that 

would require financial assurance as set forth in 10 CFR 40.36, until the NRC reviews and approves the 

executed financial assurance instrument and certification of financial assurance.

15. a. IIFP shall provide an updated Decommissioning Funding Plan (DFP) and updated facility 

Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE) to the NRC for review at least 6 months before the planned 

date for obtaining licensed material in any form, including contamination, in an amount that would 

require financial assurance as set forth in 10 CFR 40.36. 

 b. On an annual basis, starting on the anniversary date of obtaining licensed material and for two 

subsequent years, the licensee shall provide an updated DFP and updated facility DCE to the NRC for 

review. With each annual update, if the cost estimate exceeds the amount of financial assurance 

provided, the licensee shall provide financial assurance in the amount of the updated cost estimate and 

an updated certification of financial assurance to the NRC for review and approval. 

 c. All updates to the DFP and cost estimate for facility decommissioning and financial assurance 

instruments shall reflect current year U.S. dollars and shall encompass all current cost data—including 

but not limited to taking into account changes in inflation, possession limits, licensed material, labor 

rates, disposal and shipping rates, and site, and facility factors. All costs shall be supported by a 

detailed basis, be based on the costs of a third-party contractor, and shall not take credit for any 

salvage value that might be realized from the sale of potential assets during or after decommissioning. 

The total cost estimate shall include a contingency factor of at least 25 percent.
