| The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
staff has approved the transfer of the operating license for the R. E. Ginna
Nuclear Power Plant from Rochester Gas & Electric Corp. (RG&E) to
R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC.
As provided by NRC regulations, the staff's approval of the license
transfer became effective on May 28, contingent on the licensee providing
final details of the transaction’s close. R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power
Plant LLC is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation Generation
Group.
On December 16, 2003, RG&E and Constellation Generation Group submitted
an application to the NRC requesting approval for the license transfer.
The application was supplemented by letters from RG&E, submitted March
26 and April 30, 2004, and from Constellation, submitted February 27,
and April 30, 2004. Major issues considered by the NRC included financial
qualifications and transfer and maintenance of accumulated decommissioning
funds.
A copy of the NRC's approval order and accompanying safety evaluation
report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room, One White Flint
North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F23, Rockville, MD 20852 (telephone
1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737) and added to the Agency-wide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS), which is available on the NRC’s
Web site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html
, by entering accession number ML041330540.
