Noted Copy: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Document Control Desk Re: Application for Transfers and Amendments of Export Licenses

Dear Mr. Hauber:

Enclosed for filing is an Application for Transfers and Amendments of certain 10 CFR Part 110 export licenses (the " Export Licenses") more specifically listed on thd attached Exhibit A, "10 CFR Part 110 Export Licenses Held by the Westinghouse Electric Company Division of CBS Corporation," pages 1-3. The filing is necessitated by the sale (with certain exceptions) of the assets of the nuclear and government operations business of CBS Corporation, formerly Westinghouse Electric Corporation (hereinafter "CBS")',

to Morrison Knudsen Corporation and BNFL USA Group, Inc. (the " Purchasers"). The Purchasers have considerable expertise in the nuclear and government operations business.

This Application requests that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") acknowledge and approve the transfers of the Export Licenses listed on Exhibit A, and the related amendments associated with the transfers, to one of the three new companies that has been formed by the Purchasers to effect the closing of the sale transaction (the " Transferee Company"). The Transferee Company, which will have transferred to it and will assume n

(with cenain exceptions) the CBS commercial nuclear business, was formed in Delaware C l

on December 30,1998 under the name " Energy Systems Acquisition Company LLC." Ong j the date of the closing of the sale transaction, the Transferee Company will change its name to " Westinghouse Electric Company LLC" ("WELCO"). It is therefore requested %

g .j that the NRC amend the Export Licenses, effective as of the closing date of the sale g $

transaction and in the manner further described below, to be in the name of WELCO.

d The proposed transfers of the Expon Licenses resulting from the sale transaction will not i i involve any change in the operating organization, location, facilities, equipment or

! - procedures currently residing in the CBS commercial nuclear business associated with the }

licensed activities. Current CBS ensployees responsible for licensed activities will become

Transferee Company employees and will continue to be responsible for such activities l i '

after the transfers. The Transferee Company will meet all requirements for a NRC licensee and holder of Expon Licenses and will agree to abide by all commitments and i ,

- representations made to the NRC prior to the transfers, as well as all of the terms and

conditions of the Expc,rt Licenses. '

3 By letters dated September 28,1998, as amended by letters dated January 18,1999 and February 22,1999, CBS filed Applications with the NRC for Transfers and Amendments )

! ofvarious Materia:s Licenses, Quality' Assurance Progr.'m Approvals and Certificates of

! Compliance to the Transferee Company (WELCO as of the' closing date) and the second j_

" Westinghouse Government Services Company LLC" ("WGS") on the date of the closing

}_ of the sale transaction, will have transferred to it and will assume the DOE and DOD j defense program missions of the CBS government operations business.'

l One of the existing CBS operating divisions, the ElectroMechanical Division, located in i'

Cheswick, PA ("EMD") and engaged in both DOD and commercial nuclear activities, currently operates under certain of the Export Licenses that are the subject of this Transfer Application. EMD will be transferred to WGS (name as of the closing date) and not to

- the Transferee Company as part of the closing ofthe sale transaction. However, after the closing of the sale transaction, it is contemplated that the Transferee Company, and not

.WGS, will maintain responsibility for EMD's NRC licensed commercial export activities under those Export Licenses currently used by EMD, including responsibility for generating and maintaining all records under the Export Licenses required by NRC regulations.: Accordingly, it also is requested that the NRC amend all non-fuel related l

]

Export Licenses, as listed on Exhibit A, being transferred to the Transferee Company to  !

add Westinghouse Government Services Company LLC (name as of the closing date) as j an additional supplier on each such transferred license. '

8 The third of the three companies formed to effect the sale transaction also was formed also in Delaware on October 9,1998, under the name MK/BNFL GESCO LLC. As of the closing date this company will i be re-named Westinghouse Government Emironmental Senices Company LLC ("WGES"). WGES will ,

be dedicated to the emironmental and waste management activities of the CBS government operations j business; and no NRC or Agreement State lice.wes, approvals or certificates will be transferred to or possessed by WGES.

British Nuclear Fuels plc ("BNFL") is a global leader in the nuclear industry, operating across the entire nuclear fuel cycle. It also is a substantial generator of nuclear i power in the United Kingdom ("UK"). BNFL, which is wholly owned by the UK  !

Government, has annual revenues of approximately $2.5 billion, with an order backlog of i

around $20 billion. In the United States, BNFL operates through BNFL USA Inc., its f

.w ho lly owned U.S. subsidiary ("BNFL USA"). BNFL USA is incorporated under the  ;

laws ofDelaware. BNFL USA, in turn, operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries,  !

BNFL Inc., and BNFL Nuclear Services Inc. ("BNFL Nuclear Services"). Each of these i subsidiaries is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. BNFL Inc. has approximately  :

800 employees (95 percent ofwhom are U.S. citizens) and a current order backlog of j approximately $9 billion. BNFL Nuclear Senices has been formed in connection with the  :

sale transaction to own tLe BNFL interest in WELCO. - BNFL Inc. has worked closely with Government Operations at a number of DOE facilities, including Savannah River ]

(currently managed by Westinghouse Savannah River Company). BNFL and BNFL Inc.

have a substantial relationship with ESBU with respect to nuclear fuel manufacturing and other nuclear activities.

The Purchasers have formed three new companies to operate the businesses and

, assets to be transferred as part of the sale transaction, two ofwhich will conduct NRC licensed activities. On the Closing Date, the first company, WELCO, will have transferred to it and will operate (with certain exceptionsi) the CBS commercial nuclear businesses now operated by ESBU.
