10:1.0.1.1.30.0.117.88.35 : Appendix N
Appendix N to Part 50 - Standardization of Nuclear Power Plant
Designs: Permits To Construct and Licenses To Operate Nuclear Power
Reactors of Identical Design at Multiple Sites
Section 101 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and §
50.10 of this part require a Commission license to transfer or
receive in interstate commerce, manufacture, produce, transfer,
acquire, possess, use, import or export any production or
utilization facility. The regulations in this part require the
issuance of a construction permit by the Commission before
commencement of construction of a production or utilization
facility, except as provided in § 50.10(e), and the issuance of an
operating license before operation of the facility.
The Commission's regulations in part 2 of this chapter
specifically provide for the holding of hearings on particular
issues separately from other issues involved in hearings in
licensing proceedings (§ 2.761a, appendix A, section I(c)), and for
the consolidation of adjudicatory proceedings and of the
presentations of parties in adjudicatory proceedings such as
licensing proceedings (§§ 2.715a, 2.716).
This appendix sets out the particular requirements and
provisions applicable to situations in which applications are filed
by one or more applicants for licenses to construct and operate
nuclear power reactors of essentially the same design to be located
at different sites. 1
1 If the design for the power reactor(s) proposed in a
particular application is not identical to the others, that
application may not be processed under this appendix and subpart D
of part 2 of this chapter.
1. Except as otherwise specified in this appendix or as the
context otherwise indicates, the provisions of this part applicable
to construction permits and operating licenses, including the
requirement in § 50.58 for review of the application by the
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards and the holding of public
hearings, apply to construction permits and operating licenses
subject to this appendix N.
2. Applications for construction permits submitted pursuant to
this appendix must include the information required by §§ 50.33,
50.34(a) and 50.34a(a) and (b) and be submitted as specified in §
50.4. The applicant shall also submit the information required by §
51.50 of this chapter.
3. Applications for operating licenses submitted pursuant to
this appendix N shall include the information required by §§ 50.33,
50.34(b) and (c), and 50.34a(c). The applicant shall also submit
the information required by § 51.53 of this chapter. For the
technical information required by §§ 50.34(b)(2) through (5) and
50.34a(c), reference may be made to a single final safety analysis
of the design.
