Section 10Sec./Art. 10

Provisional License. In all cases of application for licenses to construct an atomic energy facility if the Commission finds that, on the basis of the technical information and data so far made available to it, there is reasonable assurance that the proposed installation can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to the health and safety of the public, it shall initially issue a provisional license to the applicant. Such a provisional license may be granted even if the health and safety information then available is less than would be needed for a license to operate provided that the Commission is satisfied that there is reasonable assurance that questions of health and safety will be so resolved as to warrant the issuance of a license to operate the installation.
