reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events 
occur. Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at 
any time. Generally, renewal applications are submitted every ten years 
and for major fuel cycle facilities updates of the safety demonstration 
section are submitted every two years. Nuclear material control and 
accounting information is submitted in accordance with specified 
instructions.
