SUBJECT:

ENERGYSOLUTIONS, LLC - REQUEST FOR THRESHOLD DETERMINATION

Dear Mr. Workman:

By letter dated November 23, 2022, as supplemented by letter dated January 13, 2023, EnergySolutions, LLC (EnergySolutions) requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) make a threshold determination that a corporate transaction involving companies upstream of the indirect majority owner of EnergySolutions would not result in a transfer of control of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48 for Zion Nuclear Power Station (Zion), Units 1 and 2, respectively, and the general license for the Zion independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), Possession Only License No. DPR-73 for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI-2), Possession Only License No. DPR-45 for La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (La Crosse), and the general license for the La Crosse ISFSI, and Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-43 for Kewaunee Power Station (Kewaunee), and the general license for the Kewaunee ISFSI; Radioactive Materials License No. 39-35044-01; and Export Licenses XW010/04 and XW018/01 that would require prior NRC approval under the applicable NRC regulations.

The NRC staff has completed its review and concludes that the corporate transaction, as presented in the request, will not constitute a direct or indirect transfer of control under the applicable NRC regulations of the NRC licenses held by EnergySolutions and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and will not result in foreign ownership, control, or domination issues. Therefore, EnergySolutions does not require prior NRC approval for the corporate transaction. The enclosed safety evaluation documents the NRC staffs review and conclusion.

R. Workman If you have any questions, please contact Richard Turtil at (301) 415-2308 or by email at Richard.Turtil@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Signed by Anderson, Shaun on 01/26/23 Shaun Anderson, Chief Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket Nos:
