§ 36.15 Start of construction.
The applicant may not begin construction of a new irradiator prior to the submission to NRC of both an application for a
license for the irradiator and the fee required by § 170.31. As used in this section, the term "construction" includes the
construction of any portion of the permanent irradiator structure on the site but does not include: Engineering and design
work, purchase of a site, site surveys or soil testing, site preparation, site excavation, construction of warehouse or auxiliary
structures, and other similar tasks. Any activities undertaken prior to the issuance of a license are entirely at the risk of the
applicant and have no bearing on the issuance of a license with respect to the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and rules, regulations, and orders issued under the Act.
