On April 24, 2024, staff issued Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2562, "Light Water Reactor Inspection Program for Restart of Reactor Facilities Following Permanent Cessation of Power Operations," effective May 8, 2024, to establish oversight policies, requirements, and guidance for transitioning from a decommissioning reactor facility to an operational power reactor facility subject to the Reactor Oversight Process.

On April 22, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff published the Advanced Reactor Application Guidance webpage. This guidance tool provides references for a technology-inclusive, risk-informed, and performance-based application. The tool supports applications to be submitted under 10 CFR Part 50 or Part 52 and supports the 10 CFR Part 53 rulemaking effort. It facilitates the efficient and effective licensing of advanced reactors, providing a guide for applicants and the staff on preparing and reviewing advanced reactor licensing applications. The staff will continue to update the tool as references are identified, updated, or developed.

The renewed Palisades operating license was not set to expire until March 24, 2031. In March 2023, Holtec submitted its proposed regulatory path to resume power operations at Palisades and has subsequently submitted four licensing actions to support this effort, which are currently under review. Palisades is the first plant to request the reauthorization of power operations after being permanently shut down.
