©2022 Nuclear Energy Institute 6 Closing Thoughts Success in DECON is a key enabler in demonstrating the sustainability of commercial nuclear energy Progress is being made on front end with the proposed transition rule, emphasis needs to shift to improving efficiencies on the back end License termination remains one of the most technically challenging and time-consuming aspects of DECON, and companies face many uncertainties during planning and execution NRC and industry should continue to focus on those issues most relevant to public health and safety and protection of the environment A strong bias for action is imperative to close gaps in regulatory guidance to better serve the communities with plants undergoing DECON today
