The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the enclosed Order approving the Decommissioning Plan.

License Termination Plan [.pdf] – November 24, 2003 (SCY 2003-07)

This plan was submitted to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission to demonstrate that the remaining decommissioning activities would be performed in accordance with Title 10 to the Code of Federal Regulations. The report was intended to show that the Yankee Nuclear Site Closure will not compromise the defense, security, health and safety of the public and would not have a significant effect on the quality of the environment.

License Termination Plan – Revision 1 [.pdf] – November 2004 (SCY 2004-20)

YAEC prepared this document under requirements set by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The LTP provided a blueprint for completing the NRC's decommissioning and license termination process.

Finding of No Significant Impact [.pdf] – May 6, 2005 (SCR 2005-10)

This notice, posted in the Federal Register, revealed that the NRC’s finding of no significant impact related to the exemption of material in accordance with Title 10 to the Code of Federal Regulations.

LTP Approval [.pdf] – July 2005 (SCR 2005-05)

This new license condition incorporated the NRC approved, “License Termination Plan – Revision 1” (LTP), and associated addendum, into the Yankee Nuclear Power Station License.

Historical Site Assessment– October 2004 (SCY 2004-18)

The Historical Site Assessment (HSA) described the site's physical configuration, identified the radioactive constituents of site contamination, assessed the migration of contaminants, identified contaminated media, identified non-impacted and impacted areas and classified impacted areas. The HSA supplemented the information provided in the License Termination Plan (LTP) for the YNPS site.

Letter of Intent Concerning the Release of Yankee Nuclear Power Station Site Property from Part 50 License– January 3, 2005 (SCY 2005-01)

This letter provided written notification to the NRC of YAEC’s intent to release a portion of the YNPS site from its 10 CFR Part 50 License (DPR-3). YAEC was planning to release approximately 2170 acres of the non-impacted area from its Part 50 License.

Letter of Intent Concerning the Release of Yankee Nuclear Power Station Site Property from the Part 50 License– October 13, 2005 (SCY 2005-14)

This letter provided written notification to the NRC of YAEC’s intent to modify its previously submitted request to release a portion of the site from its 10 CFR Part 50 License (DPR-3).
