Use of Decommissioning Trust Funds Before Decommissioning Plan Approval; Draft Policy Statement

Короткий зміст

This draft policy statement presents the criteria the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to follow in addressing requests from power reactor licensees that have permanently shut down their power reactors to make withdrawals from external decommissioning sinking funds to pay for the removal of components and other decommissioning-related activities before the NRC approves these licensees' decommissioning plans submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82. This draft policy statement also covers de minimis withdrawals from external decommissioning sinking funds to pay for developing the 10 CFR 50.82 decommissioning plan and for other post-shutdown administrative expenses.
