I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
approval of an application (the
application) from Westinghouse Electric
Company (Westinghouse), submitted on
April 21, 2006, for consent to indirect
change of control with respect to
materials licenses, from its parent
company British Nuclear Fuels PLC
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
(BNFL) to Toshiba Corporation
(Toshiba).
The filing and requested NRC consent
is necessitated by the planned sale by
BNFL of its entire interest in
Westinghouse to Toshiba. The applicant
described the transaction as follows:
BNFL currently controls all interest in
Westinghouse through its wholly owned
holding company, BNFL USA Group,
Inc. (BNFL USA). To accomplish the
purchase of all of BNFL’s interest in
Westinghouse, Toshiba would form an
intermediate holding company
(NewCo), which would subsequently
issue its shares to Toshiba and possibly
other minority investors. Toshiba,
however, would maintain ownership
over a majority of shares in NewCo
(51% or more of the membership
interest). Once complete, BNFL will sell
100% of its shares of BNFL USA (and
Westinghouse) to NewCo. Therefore,
through its majority ownership of
NewCo, and NewCo’s entire ownership
of Westinghouse, Toshiba would
maintain indirect control of
Westinghouse. The applicant stated that
Toshiba would at all times maintain
majority control of at least 51% of the
membership interest in Westinghouse,
and that no minority ownership would
constitute a change of control of
Westinghouse.
The application states that there
would be no change to Westinghouse’s
operations, corporate structure, key
operating personnel or licensed
activities as a result of the transaction
and the indirect change of control.
Westinghouse would remain a U.S.
company and would continue to be
headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.
Westinghouse would continue to be the
holder of the licenses, approvals, and
certificates listed above after the closing
of the transaction and the indirect
change of control. Westinghouse will
remain technically and financially
qualified as the licensee and will

Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
continue to fulfill all responsibilities as
the licensee. The application states that
no amendments to the licenses,
approvals, and certificates will be
necessary in connection with this
request for consent.
This license transfer, if approved,
would affect Special Nuclear Material
Licenses SNM–33 and SNM–1107.
License SNM–33 authorizes
Westinghouse to possess and use
source, special nuclear, and byproduct
material at its former fuel fabrication
facility in Hematite, Missouri, for the
purpose of decommissioning the
facility. License SNM–1107 authorizes
Westinghouse to possess and use
source, special nuclear, and byproduct
material at the Columbia Fuel
Fabrication Facility in Columbia, South
Carolina.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license
granted under the regulations in Part 70
and no right to possess or utilize special
nuclear material granted by any license
issued pursuant to the regulations in
Part 70 shall be transferred, assigned or
in any manner disposed of, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or
indirectly, through transfer of control of
any license to any person unless the
Commission shall, after securing full
information, find that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA), and shall give its consent in
writing. The Commission will approve
an application for the transfer of a
license if the Commission determines
that the proposed transferee is qualified
to hold the license, and that the transfer
is otherwise consistent with applicable
provisions of law, regulations, and
orders issued by the Commission
pursuant thereto. An Environmental
Assessment (EA) will not be performed
because this action is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
perform an EA pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22(c)(21).

indirect change of control with respect to materials licenses, from its

The filing and requested NRC consent is necessitated by the planned

all interest in Westinghouse through its wholly owned holding company,
BNFL USA Group, Inc. (BNFL USA). To accomplish the purchase of all of
BNFL's interest in Westinghouse, Toshiba would form an intermediate

Westinghouse, Toshiba would maintain indirect control of Westinghouse.
The applicant stated that Toshiba would at all times maintain majority
control of at least 51% of the membership interest in Westinghouse, and
that no minority ownership would constitute a change of control of
Westinghouse.
The application states that there would be no change to
Westinghouse's operations, corporate structure, key operating personnel
or licensed activities as a result of the transaction and the indirect
change of control. Westinghouse would remain a U.S. company and would
continue to be headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. Westinghouse would

This license transfer, if approved, would affect Special Nuclear

authorizes Westinghouse to possess and use source, special nuclear, and

Columbia, South Carolina.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license granted under the regulations
in Part 70 and no right to possess or utilize special nuclear material
granted by any license issued pursuant to the regulations in Part 70
shall be transferred, assigned or in any manner disposed of, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, through transfer
of control of any license to any person unless the Commission shall,
after securing full information, find that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

will approve an application for the transfer of a license if the
Commission determines that the proposed transferee is qualified to hold

applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the
Commission pursuant thereto. An Environmental Assessment (EA) will not
be performed because this action is categorically excluded from the
