The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses have been transferred to the EnergySolutions wholly owned subsidiary ZionSolutions for the purposes of decommissioning.
The license stewardship program is designed to accelerate the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
As per this program, EnergySolutions through its subsidiary has acquired the Zion Station assets and will conduct the work as owner and NRC licensee of the Zion Station.
ZionSolutions will process and dispose of all Zion Class A low-level radioactive waste at the EnergySolutions licensed Clive, Utah facility and load the spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved dry cask storage containers for placement within a secure and licensed storage facility on site.
The purpose of the program is to safely accelerate cleanup at least 12 years ahead of schedule, enabling the land to be restored for beneficial reuse.
