Schedule of Planned Decommissioning Activities The regulations at 10 CFR 50.82(a)(3) and 10 CFR 52.110(c) require a licensee to complete decommissioning within 60 years of permanent cessation of operations, unless the NRC approves an extended timeline for decommissioning the facility when necessary to protect public health and safety. Factors that that will be considered by the NRC in evaluating an alternative that provides for completion of decommissioning beyond 60 years of permanent cessation of operations include the unavailability of waste disposal capacity and other site-specific factors affecting the licensee’s capability to carry out decommissioning, such as other nuclear facilities at the site that share systems with the permanently DG-1349 Revision 1, Page 11 shutdown facility. The 60-year requirement to complete decommissioning also applies to an onsite ISFSI licensed under the general license provisions in 10 CFR Part 72, as a general license ISFSI is part of the Part 50 or Part 52 site and must be decommissioned consistent with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.82 or 10 CFR 52.110, respectively.
