As such, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7), significant changes in major milestones, schedules, or cost estimates in approved decommissioning plans also require written notification to the NRC. Written notifications of changes to the PSDAR to the NRC that are made under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) do not require a 90-day waiting period before the initiation of activities.
