§ 53.1336 — Finality of construction permits.

§ 53.1336 Finality of construction permits.

Notwithstanding any provision in § 53.1590, a CP constitutes an authorization to proceed with construction but does not constitute Commission approval of the safety of any design feature or specification unless the applicant specifically requests such approval and such approval is incorporated in the permit. The applicant, at its option, may request such approvals in the CP or by amendment to the CP. If approved by the NRC and included in the permit, the NRC will consider modifications to the approved design features or specifications in accordance with § 53.1590.
