< Back to Scorecard

Supplement

Combined Construction and Operating License (COL)

Summary: Eighteen COL applications have been submitted, thirteen of which remain under active NRC review. NRC suspended review of four COL applications due to changes in technology or economic considerations, and one was withdrawn and converted to an ESP. A total of eighteen power companies, of which one remains unidentified, have submitted or intend to submit 24 license applications for 35 units. The Reference COL (R-COL) application has been submitted for all five reactor designs; the 17 subsequent COLs (S-COLs) will incorporate the corresponding R-COL application by reference, noting any site-specific departures. No COLs have been issued to date.
