Variable Annual Fee Structure for Small Modular Reactors: Final Rule; Parts 170 and 171 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (RIN 3150-AI54; NRC-2008-0664) 

On May 24, 2016, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register (81 FR 32617) 

amending its licensing, inspection, and annual fee regulations to establish a variable annual fee 

structure for light-water small modular reactors (SMR). Under the variable annual fee structure, 

an SMR's annual fee would be calculated as a function of its licensed thermal power rating. 

This fee methodology complies with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as 

amended. This final rule is effective June 23, 2016.

Acceptance of License Renewal Application for Waterford Unit 3 

On May 20, 2016, the staff completed its acceptance review of the license renewal application 

(LRA) for Waterford Unit 3. The staff determined that the application contains sufficient 

information for docketing. The staff received the LRA from Entergy Operations, Inc., on March 

30, 2016, requesting the extension of the respective operating license for an additional 20 years 

beyond the current 40-year term. The current operating license for Waterford Unit 3 (NPF-38) 

expires at midnight on December 18, 2024. Waterford Unit 3 is a pressurized water reactor 

designed by Combustion Engineering. The staff tentatively plans to hold public information 

sessions near the site in June 2016 to provide an overview of the license renewal process and 

to solicit public comments on the scope of the staff’s environmental review. Acceptance of the 

LRA, which will be published in the Federal Register, begins a 60-day opportunity for members 

of the public to file a request for a hearing and/or petition to intervene.
