NRC Frees Nuclear Site from Oversight: Cleanup Continues
Published Date: 9/29/2025
Notice
Summary
The NRC is thinking about giving back some land from the Crystal River Nuclear Power Station to its owner, Accelerated Decommissioning Partners, by changing the license. This means part of the site won’t be under NRC rules anymore. After checking the environment, the NRC found no big problems, so the change could happen soon without extra costs or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Portion of site released from NRC control
The NRC may amend License No. DPR-72 (issued December 1976) to partially release property at Crystal River Unit 3 back to the licensee, Accelerated Decommissioning Partners. If approved, the released property would no longer be under NRC jurisdiction.
NRC issues FONSI allowing faster release
The NRC staff issued an environmental assessment (EA) and a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the proposed partial site release at Crystal River Unit 3. The staff concluded there are no significant environmental impacts, which means the license amendment could proceed without additional NEPA steps, costs, or delays.
