The PSDAR must contain the information required by regulation; Regulatory Guide 1.185 provides guidance on content and format.
After the licensee submits its certification of permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel, radiological decommissioning can start as allowed by the plants license.
The decommissioning activities must not endanger the public health and safety or the environment.
