Nuclear Regulatory Commission October 11, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Orders approving an application filed by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (Dominion Energy) on January 25, 2018, that supersedes and corrects an error in the Orders issued on August 30, 2018. The August 30, 2018, Orders stated that VCSNS Units 1, 2 and 3 are co-owned by SCE&G and Santee Cooper, who have undivided ownership interests of two-thirds and one-third, respectively, in VCSNS. This statement was correct for VCSNS Unit 1 and the ISFSI, however, for the VCSNS Units 2 and 3 COLs, SCE&G and Santee Cooper have ownerships interests of 55 percent and 45 percent, respectively. The application sought NRC approval of the indirect transfer of Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-12 and Combined License Nos. NPF-93 and NPF-94 for Summer, Units 1, 2, and 3 and the general license for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), from the ultimate parent, SCANA Corporation, to Dominion Energy. The NRC's approval of the indirect license transfer is subject to certain conditions, which are described in the Orders. No physical changes to the facility or operational changes were proposed in the application. The Orders were effective upon issuance.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received and is considering approval of an application filed by LaCrosseSolutions, LLC (LS), on June 27, 2018. The application seeks NRC approval of the direct transfer of Facility Operating License No. DPR-45 for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR), from the current holder, LS, to the Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC), who held the operating license for LACBWR prior to transferring it to LS in 2016. The NRC is also considering amending the facility operating license for administrative purposes to reflect the proposed transfer.
