Does the licensee have an NRC license during the decommissioning process?
Yes. The NRC license (called a Part 50 license in reference to the location of the corresponding regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations) is not terminated until the licensee can demonstrate that it meets the criteria for site release in the regulations. The NRC verifies the licensee’s final radiation survey by reviewing it and/or conducting a separate survey. In addition, the licensee must demonstrate that the facility has been dismantled in accordance with the approved license termination plan.
