(Antares) outlined its plans for interactions with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff during pre-application activities associated with Antaress commercial R1 microreactor.

This is pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 170, "Fees for Facilities, Materials, Import and Export Licenses, and Other Regulatory Services Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as Amended."
Pre-application activities, and activities associated with the review of a license application will be billed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. Following the issuance of a license, Antares will also be billed, as applicable, an annual fee in accordance with 10 CFR Part 171, "Annual Fees for Reactor Licenses and Fuel Cycle Licenses and Materials Licenses, Including Holders of Certificates of Compliance, Registrations, and Quality Assurance Program Approvals and Government Agencies Licensed by the NRC."
