provision of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 
50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,'' 
except those who have permanently ceased operations and have certified 
that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel, and all 
holders of or applicants for a limited work authorization, early site
