NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 11005621, 11005896, 11005620, 11005897, 11006061,
11005840, 11005941; License Nos. IW017, IW029, XW010, XW018, XW020,
XCOM1211, XSOU8825]
In the Matter of Energy Solutions Inc.; Order Approving Indirect
Transfer of Import and Export Licenses
I
EnergySolutions Services, Inc. (ES Services), Duratek Services,
Inc. (Duratek), and Manufacturing Sciences Corp. (MSC) hold import and
export licenses and are subsidiaries of EnergySolutions, Inc. (ES,
Inc.).
II
By letters dated January 18, 2013 and January 21, 2013, ES, Inc.,
on behalf of its subsidiaries ES Services, Duratek, and MSC, notified
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the proposed indirect
transfer of control of import licenses IW017 (Duratek) and IW029 (ES
Services), and export licenses XW010 (Duratek), XW018 (ES Services),
XW020 (ES Services), XCOM1211 (MSC), and XSOU8825 (MSC), and, by letter
dated April 17, 2013, submitted an application requesting that the NRC
consent to the proposed indirect transfer of control of these import
and export licenses.
The indirect transfer will occur as a result of a proposed
transaction whereby ES, Inc., the current ultimate parent holding
company of ES Services, Duratek, and MSC, would be directly acquired by
Rockwell Holdco, Inc. (Rockwell), a Delaware corporation that was
formed for the purpose of acquiring ES, Inc. and is held by certain
investment fund entities organized by controlled affiliates of Energy
Capital Partners II, LLC (ECP II). ES, Inc. represents that the
indirect transfer will not result any change in the current technical
and financial qualifications, or operations, of the NRC licensees for
IW017, IW029, XW010, XW018, XW020, XCOM1211, and XSOU8825.
Approval of the indirect transfer of the licenses was requested
pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA) (42 U.S.C. 2234). The letters from ES, Inc. dated January 18,
2013, January 21, 2013, and April 17, 2013, were made publicly
available in ADAMS at ML13101A277, ML13101A287, and ML13122A113,
respectively. No requests for hearing or comments were received.
Pursuant to Section 184 of the AEA, no license granted under 10 CFR
part 110, shall be transferred, assigned, or in any manner disposed of,
directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of any license to
any person unless the Commission, after securing full information,
finds that the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of the
AEA, and gives its consent in writing.
Upon review of the information received from ES, Inc., and other
information before the Commission, and relying upon the representations
and agreements contained in the Transfer Application, the NRC staff
finds that: (1) The qualifications of ES Services, Duratek, and MSC
regarding the proposed indirect transfer of control of IW017, IW029,
XW010, XW018, XW020, XCOM1211, and XSOU8825 are not changed, and (2)
the proposed indirect
[[Page 31987]]
transfer of the licenses due to the purchase of the current ultimate
parent holding company of ES Services, Duratek, and MSC--ES, Inc.--
which would be directly acquired by Rockwell Holdco, Inc., is otherwise
consistent with applicable provisions of laws, regulations and orders
issued by the Commission pursuant thereto.
The findings set forth above are supported by a Safety Evaluation
dated May xx, 2013.
III
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 184 of the AEA Act of 1954, as
amended, it is hereby ordered that the indirect transfer of licenses of
ES Services, Duratek, and MSC, as described herein, is approved.
It is further ordered that after receipt of all required regulatory
approvals of the proposed indirect transfer, ES, Inc. shall inform the
Director of the Office of International Programs, in writing, of such
receipt no later than one: (1) Business day prior to the closing of the
proposed indirect transfer. Should the proposed indirect transfer not
be completed within 60 days from the date of issuance of this Order,
the Order shall become null and void; however, on written application
and for good cause shown, such date may be extended by order.
This Order is effective upon issuance.
For further details with respect to this Order, see the application
dated April 17, 2013, (which can be found at Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession Number ML13122A113).
Publicly-available records will be accessible electronically from the
ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web
