An applicant for a construction permit, operating license, or combined license who has filed an application referencing an early site permit issued under this subpart shall update the emergency preparedness information that was provided under § 52.17(b) , and discuss whether the updated information materially changes the bases for compliance with applicable NRC requirements.
