Potential NUCON Installation Clause Samples
The "Potential NUCON Installation" clause defines the conditions under which a NUCON system may be installed at a specified location. Typically, this clause outlines the prerequisites for installation, such as obtaining necessary approvals, meeting technical requirements, or coordinating with relevant parties. For example, it may specify that installation is contingent on site readiness or regulatory compliance. The core function of this clause is to clarify the circumstances and process for installing the NUCON system, thereby preventing misunderstandings and ensuring all parties are aware of their responsibilities before proceeding.
Potential NUCON Installation a. The potential NUCON installation addressed in this Agreement would entail installing one NUCON unit; so, for example, if DOE and WRPS determine to install NUCON and that NUCON unit(s) are to be used with individual tanks, then DOE and WRPS’s commitment would entail installing one unit within one tank farm (and not, for example, one unit for each of the tanks within the tank farm).
b. Within 120 days after completion of Phase Three testing, the NUCON QTP may provide input regarding whether DOE and WRPS should proceed with NUCON installation, including the date, location and configuration of the potential installation. DOE and WRPS will consider such input from the NUCON QTP.
c. If NUCON meets the performance standards during Phase Three testing, then DOE and WRPS will proceed with NUCON installation unless DOE determines that (i) installation will compromise nuclear safety requirements or (ii) permitting or other requirements or issues (e.g., design limitations, scaling limitations) would pose an unreasonable impediment to proceeding with the installation. DOE and WRPS retain discretion to proceed with NUCON installation even if NUCON does not meet the performance standards during Phase Three testing.
d. If DOE and WRPS determine to proceed with NUCON installation, then the following steps will occur:
i. Within 90 days after DOE and WRPS post the results of the Phase Three testing, DOE and WRPS will identify a projected date to complete NUCON installation based on DOE’s and WRPS’s reasonable efforts to determine such date. The projected date provided by DOE and WRPS will be incorporated by reference into the terms of this Settlement Agreement.
ii. Ecology will receive information about the planned location and configuration of Phase Three installation as part of the permitting process.
e. Completion of this commitment relies upon timely submission of permitting documents by DOE and/or WRPS and timely completion of required permitting by Ecology. Ecology estimates forty weeks will be required for Ecology to issue the permit(s). The deadline for DOE and WRPS to complete NUCON installation will be delayed by one day for each day beyond forty weeks that the permit remains unapproved after Ecology receives complete permitting information. If Ecology does not grant the permit(s) required for this system, then DOE and WRPS will not be required to complete this commitment. However, a request by Ecology for additional permit information shall not constitute a per...
