II. Discussion

    ZionSolutions, LLC, (ZS) is the holder of Facility Operating 
License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48. The license provides, among other 
things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and 
orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of 
two pressurized-water reactors located in Lake County, Illinois.
    In September 1996, ZNPS Unit 2 was permanently shut-down after 
approximately 23 years of operation. In February 1997, ZNPS Unit 1 was 
permanently shut-down after approximately 24 years of operation. In 
early 1998, in accordance with section 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii) of title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Exelon Generating 
Company LLC (Exelon) notified the NRC of the permanent cessation of 
operations at the ZNPS and the permanent removal of all spent fuel 
assemblies from the reactor vessels to the spent fuel pool (ADAMS 
Legacy Accession Nos. 9902200407 and 9803110251). On February 14, 2000, 
Exelon submitted a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report 
(PSDAR) for the Zion units, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i) (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML003685889). The PSDAR was updated on March 18, 2008 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML080840398). On September 1, 2010, the NRC 
transferred Facility Operating License Numbers DPR-39 and DPR-48 from 
Exelon to ZS (ADAMS Accession No. ML102290437). ZionSolutions, LLC, 
acquired ZNPS to conduct the decommissioning of the facility and then 
return the decommissioned site back to Exelon. The spent fuel has been 
moved from the spent fuel pool to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Installation. Decommissioning of ZNPS is scheduled to be completed in 
2018.
    By letter dated December 19, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML15005A336), and supplemented on February 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession 
No. ML15061A281), ZS submitted the License Termination Plan (LTP) for 
ZNPS in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(9). The LTP includes a site 
characterization to ensure that final radiation surveys (FRS) cover all 
areas where contamination existed, remains, or has the potential to 
exist or remain; identification of remaining dismantlement activities; 
plans for site remediation; a description of the FRS plan to confirm 
that ZNPS will meet the release criteria in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E; 
dose-modeling scenarios that ensure compliance with the radiological 
criteria for license termination; an estimate of the remaining site-
specific decommissioning costs; and a supplement to the Defueled Safety 
Analysis Report and the Environmental Report describing any new 
information or significant environmental change associated with 
proposed license termination activities. The Zion LTP is currently 
being reviewed by the NRC.
    By letter dated August 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15243A029), 
ZS submitted a request for approval to remove a portion of the site 
from the part 50 License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48. Specifically, ZS 
intends to remove and release the radiologically non-impacted portions 
of the site from its part 50 licenses in accordance with 10 CFR 
50.83(b), ``Release of part of a power reactor facility or site for 
unrestricted use.'' This request is the subject of this notice.

III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting

    The NRC is requesting public comments on the ZNPS partial site 
release. The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss the partial 
site release and receive comments on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, from 
7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Central Time, at the Courtyard Chicago 
Waukegan/Gurnee, located at 3800 Northpoint Boulevard, Waukegan, IL
