NRC says Duke remains the licensed owner of the plant after the 2020 license transfer to ADP.
“On October 1, 2020, Duke Energy Florida transferred the license for Crystal River Unit 3, to Accelerated Decommissioning Partners (ADP). ADP is a joint venture between NorthStar Group Services and Orano USA. Per the agreement, Duke remains the NRC-licensed owner of the plant, property, and decommissioning trust fund but not the spent fuel.”

“ADP-CR3 became the NRC-licensed operator responsible for decommissioning and ADP-SF1 became the owner of the spent nuclear fuel.”
