As part of the effort to finalize the cleanup activities and enter the postdefueling phase, Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) has submitted a safety analysis report to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This report includes a review of the regulations of Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50. This review resulted in the determination that very few of the requirements in 10CFR50 are applicable to TMI-2. Since a facility entering a nonoperating and defueled phase as part of the early decommissioning process (SAFSTOR) is very similar to the situation at TMI-2, new and clear regulatory guidance addressing this phase of the nuclear cycle would be beneficial to the nuclear industry as a whole.
