have not been considered in existing environmental assessments, the licensee will address the impacts in a request for a license amendment regarding the activities and must submit a supplement to the environmental report (ER) relating to the additional impacts. No major decommissioning activities may be performed until 90 days after the NRC receives the PSDAR . The NRC will review the PSDAR, but NRC approval is not required. However, should the NRC determine that the PSDAR is deficient (not consistent with the information requirements given in the regulations), the NRC will inform the licensee of the deficiencies in writing and require that the deficiencies be addressed before initiation of major decommissioning activities. A licensee wishing to terminate its license would submit a license termination plan for approval similar to the approach that is considered for a decommissioning plan. The license termination plan must be a supplement to the final safety analysis report (FSAR) or equivalent and must be submitted at least 2 years before termination of the license date . The rule requires that the license termination plan includes (1) a site characterization, (2) identification of any remaining dismantlement activities, (3) plans for site remediations, (4) detailed plans for the final radiation survey, (5) a description of the end use of the site, if restricted, (6) an updated site-specific estimate of remaining decommissioning costs, and (7) a supplement to the ER. The supplement to the ER would update the “Applicant’s Environmental Report—Operating License Stage” to reflect any new information or significant environmental change associated with the proposed decommissioning activities Studies of social and environmental effects of decommissioning large commercial power generating units have not identified any significant impacts beyond those considered in the GEIS on decommis- sioning and the site-specific FEIS for the facility .
