Re: NRC Licensing Conditions

["Wesley M. Dunn" <WDUNN@brc1.tdh.state.tx.us>]

10 CFR 30.34(e):  

The Commission can incorporate conditions at any time to "(1) promote 
the common defense and security; (2) protect health or to minimize 
danger to life or property; (3) Protect restricted date; (4) require 
reports and the keeping of records, and to provide for such 
inspections of activities under the license as may be necessary to 
appropriate to effecutate the purposes of the Act and regulations 
thereunder"

NOTE: The use of license conditions also greatly aids the licensee 
by speeding up the licensing process: otherwise, the licensee would 
have to deal with round after round of letters to make the exact 
committments the regulatory agency deems necessary.  Standard 
Conditions make a lot of sense in streamlining the process.
