Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Consideration of Approval of Transfer of Licenses and Conforming Amendments

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received and is considering approval of a direct license transfer application filed by Luminant Generation Company, LLC (Luminant Power) on November 12, 2015, and supplemented by letter dated December 9, 2015. The application seeks NRC approval of the direct transfer of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89 for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (CPNPP), and general license for independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) from the current holder, Luminant Power, to as yet unnamed companies, herein identified as Comanche Peak LLC (CP LLC), as owner, and Operating Company LLC (OpCo LLC), as operator. Both the units are Pressurized Water Reactor design, 3612 megawatts thermal units, located in Somervell County, Texas. The ISFSI is also located within a separate protected area collocated at the CPNPP site. The NRC is also considering amending the facility operating licenses for administrative purposes to reflect the proposed transfer.
