| The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
staff has approved the transfer of the operating license for the Kewaunee
Nuclear Power Plant from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, Wisconsin
Power and Light Company, and Nuclear Management Company, to Dominion Energy
Kewaunee.
As provided by NRC regulations, the staff's approval of the license
transfer became effective on June 10, contingent on the licensee receiving
certain regulatory and judicial approvals. Dominion Energy Kewaunee is
a subsidiary of Dominion Resources.
On December 19, 2003, Nuclear Management Company submitted an application,
on behalf of the other license holders, to the NRC requesting approval
for the license transfer. The application was supplemented by letters
submitted February 18, 2004, and March 17, 2004. Major issues considered
by the NRC included financial qualifications as well as 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 will be added to the Agency-wide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) on the NRC’s Web
site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html.
The safety evaluation’s ADAMS accession number is ML041280012 .
Help in using ADAMS is available by calling the Public Document Room.
