Licensing Approach for New Fuel Design

A licensing approach for new fuel design is propose. It includes the possible licensing options to be taken according to the level of significance of design changes. This approach can be applied on legal grounds of the AEA, Article 44.3 and Article 21, but implies that the related ERAEAs should be revised or other alternative regulatory guidelines should be prepared. However, it is not intended to invoke additional requirements but rather to streamline and formulate the current practice by using one of supplementary provisions of the AEA, Article 104.2 which is recently enacted for approval of the technical report on a special topic.
