Content:
NUREG-1555 process (such as a description of the decommissioning process and schedule) is not required until after permanent cessation of operation and is not expected during the initial licensing or license- renewal phases. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES NRC regulations do not require the applicant to submit detailed plans for decommissioning plans and, in the absence of such plans, no detailed analysis of decommissioning is necessary. However, applicants for operating licenses (10 CFR 50.33[k]) and combined licenses (10 CFR 52.77) must include as part of their application a report that contains a certification that financial assurance for decommissioning will be provided in an amount that may be more, but not less, than the amount stated in the table in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(1). The reviewer should take the following steps: (1) The reviewer should ensure that the applicant has submitted the report required by 10 CFR 50.33(k) and specified in 10 CFR 50.75(b)(1). (2) The reviewer should coordinate with the reviewer of the Decommissioning Funding Assurance in the Generic Issues and Environmental Projects Branch to ensure that the appropriate review is being or has been made and to obtain the cost estimate for decommissioning the proposed facility (if availa- ble) or the amount from the table in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(1) as well as the means for financial assurance. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Appendix A to this plan provides input on decommissioning to the EIS that should be used by the reviewer. This input should be used for reviews of operating licenses and combined license reviews. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
