Dear Mr. Chairman:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing the following document in the Federal Register:
Title:
Access to the Decommissioning Trust Fund for the Disposal of Large Components.
- Description of the document: This document informs the public that the NRC is denying a petition for rulemaking that requested the NRC revise its regulations to allow access to the decommissioning trust fund for the removal of major radioactive components before the permanent cessation of operations and revise the definition of decommissioning. The NRC is denying the petition for rulemaking because this subject area is already adequately covered by existing regulations, and the petitioner does not raise a significant safety or security concern.
- The docket for the petition will be closed on the date of publication in the Federal Register.
For more information, see the enclosed document.
Please contact me at 301-415-1776 if you have questions or need more information.
Sincerely, Eugene Dacus, Director Office of Congressional Affairs
