                Subpart B_Specific Licensing Requirements
 
Sec. 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 Sec. 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.
