Preliminary Criterion on the Use of Non-Owner Operating Companies

Résumé

In anticipation of an expected increase in the use of non- owner operating companies, the NRC is seeking public comment on a proposed evaluation criterion concerning whether the use of contract service operating companies in connection with the operation of nuclear power reactors requires approval by the NRC under the regulations governing transfer of licenses. Comments on other criteria that should be considered concerning non-owner operators are also invited. Publication of draft regulatory guidance related to the screening criteria for the transfer of licenses is scheduled for June 1999.
