Holtec International and Entergy Corporation have submitted a licence transfer application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for approval to transfer licences for the Indian Point nuclear power station in New York state to Holtec after the last unit permanently shuts down by 30 April 2021.
If the licence transfer is approved, New Jersey-based Holtec would assume ownership of the site and decommissioning would begin. Holtec estimates decommissioning would be completed in the 2030s.
In April, Entergy Corporation agreed to sell its subsidiaries that own Indian Point to a Holtec International subsidiary for decommissioning.
The sale, which will be effective after Indian Point-3 has been shut down and permanently defueled, includes the transfer of the licences, spent fuel, decommissioning liabilities, and nuclear decommissioning trusts for the station’s three units.
