Reliability Programs for Nuclear Power Plants

Standby Support for Certain Nuclear Plant Delays

10 CFR Part 950 establishes a standby support program providing risk insurance contracts to sponsors of new advanced nuclear facilities approved after 1993. The program covers costs from delays caused by NRC regulatory review failures, pre-operational hearings, or litigation, with indemnification up to $500 million for the first two reactors and $250 million for subsequent reactors.

Financial Protection Requirements and Indemnity Agreements

Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Matter and Special Nuclear Material or Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position

This Department of Energy regulation establishes procedures for determining eligibility of DOE employees, contractors, and other designated persons for access to classified information, special nuclear material, and sensitive positions. It implements multiple executive orders and the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines, outlining administrative review and appeals processes while ensuring fairness and preventing retaliation.

Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities

Transfer of Real Property at Defense Nuclear Facilities for Economic Development

10 CFR Part 770 establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to transfer real property at closed or downsized defense nuclear facilities through sale or lease to support economic development. The rule includes indemnification procedures for claims arising from releases of hazardous substances or contaminants resulting from DOE activities, subject to NEPA review and fund availability.

Procedural Rules for DOE Nuclear Activities

10 CFR Part 820 establishes procedural rules governing conduct of persons involved in DOE nuclear activities to ensure compliance with DOE Nuclear Safety Requirements. The regulation defines key terms, enforcement processes, and administrative procedures, with Naval nuclear propulsion activities excluded from certain interpretations and exemptions provisions under the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors.

Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

General Guidelines for the Preliminary Screening of Potential Sites for a Nuclear Waste Repository

10 CFR Part 960 establishes general guidelines for the preliminary screening and evaluation of potential sites for nuclear waste repositories under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The regulations define key terms such as accessible environment, candidate sites, containment, and controlled areas, and establish the framework by which the Department of Energy evaluates site suitability in coordination with the NRC and affected states and Indian tribes.

Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste

10 CFR Part 961 establishes standard contract terms for the Department of Energy to accept title to, transport, and dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from civilian nuclear power reactor owners and generators. Owners and generators pay fees to recover DOE's full disposal costs, with receipts deposited in the Nuclear Waste Fund. Contracts must be executed by June 30, 1983, or by the date the owner/generator commences generation or takes title to such waste, whichever is later.

Byproduct Material

10 CFR Part 962 defines 'byproduct material' under the Atomic Energy Act for DOE facilities as any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) produced or made radioactive by exposure to radiation during special nuclear material production or use. For RCRA compliance, only actual radionuclides in DOE-owned radioactive waste are covered; nonradioactive hazardous components remain subject to separate RCRA regulation.

Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Material

Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance

Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrences

10 CFR Part 840 establishes administrative criteria for determining "extraordinary nuclear occurrences" under DOE contractor indemnity agreements. It sets thresholds for substantial discharge or dispersal of source, special nuclear, or byproduct material and offsite radiation levels, then requires evaluation of whether substantial damages to persons or property offsite have occurred or are probable. The criteria are distinct from health and safety regulatory limits and apply to DOE contractor activities covered by nuclear hazards indemnity provisions.

Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund; Procedures for Special Assessment of Domestic Utilities

This regulation establishes procedures for assessing domestic utilities that purchased uranium enrichment separative work units (SWUs) from the Department of Energy between 1945 and October 23, 1992. Utilities are assessed annually based on their proportional share of DOE-produced SWUs, with assessments funding the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund under the Atomic Energy Act.

Restrictions on Aircraft Landing and Air Delivery at Department of Energy Nuclear Sites

10 CFR Part 862 prohibits aircraft landing, air delivery, and aircraft operations at DOE nuclear sites, with limited exceptions for federal government, state/local law enforcement, and emergency landings. The rule defines applicable aircraft types, designated sites, and procedures for removal of downed aircraft. Violations may result in criminal penalties under the Atomic Energy Act.
