Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an order approving the direct transfer of control for Facility Operating License No. DPR-6 for the Big Rock Point Plant (BRP) and the general license for the BRP Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) from the current holder, Holtec Palisades, LLC (Holtec Palisades), to Holtec Big Rock Point, LLC, (Holtec Big Rock). Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC, will remain the licensed operator of BRP and the BRP ISFSI. The NRC is also amending the facility operating license for administrative purposes to reflect the license transfer from Holtec Palisades to Holtec Big Rock. The NRC determined that Holtec Big Rock is qualified to be the holder of the license and that the transfer of the license is otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the Commission.
