View Rule

This rule would revise the Commission's Decommissioning Planning Rule (DPR) to require licensees to address the possible need to remediate residual radioactivity during the operational phase of licensed facilities in order to reduce the overall cost of decontamination and decommissioning after shutdown.  On December 20, 2013, the Commission directed the staff to collect 2 years of additional data from the implementation of the DPR before deciding whether to proceed with the rulemaking.  Staff expects to submit a SECY in September 2016, to propose a path forward based upon the 2 years of operating experience.
