10 CFR 50.82(a)(2)

10 CFR 50.82(a)(2) is the requirement to not restart operations after a certification of decommissioning (see letter for 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i)).

"(2) Upon docketing of the certifications for permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel, or when a final legally effective order to permanently cease operations has come into effect, the 10 CFR part 50 license no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel."

Relicensing

If a plant started decommissioning and needs to re-license then this step, 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), needs to be reversed via a new exemption request.
