**(a) Licenses for domestic activities** With respect to those utilization and production facilities which are so determined by the Commission pursuant to section 2014(v)(2) or 2014(cc)(2) of this title the Commission may issue general licenses for domestic activities required to be licensed under [section 2131 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2131&num=0&edition=prelim), if the Commission determines in writing that such general licensing will not constitute an unreasonable risk to the common defense and security.
**(b) Export licenses** After consulting with the Secretaries of State, Energy, and Commerce, the Commission is authorized and directed to determine which component parts as defined in section 2014(v)(2) or 2014(cc)(2) of this title and which other items or substances are especially relevant from the standpoint of export control because of their significance for nuclear explosive purposes. Except as provided in [section 2155(b)(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2155/b/2&num=0&edition=prelim), no such component, substance, or item which is so determined by the Commission shall be exported unless the Commission issues a general or specific license for its export after finding, based on a reasonable judgment of the assurances provided and other information available to the Federal Government, including the Commission, that the following criteria or their equivalent are met: (1) IAEA safeguards as required by Article III (2) of the Treaty will be applied with respect to such component, substance, or item; (2) no such component, substance, or item will be used for any nuclear explosive device or for research on or development of any nuclear explosiv

TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

ized and directed to undertake a study of the feasibility
and value of licensing, under section 107 of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954 [this section], plant managers of uti-
lization facilities and senior licensee officers respon-
sible for operation of such facilities. The Commission
shall report to the Congress within six months of the
date of enactment of this Act [June 30, 1980] on the
findings and recommendations of the study required by
this subsection, and shall expeditiously implement
each such recommendation not requiring legislative en-
actment.’’
§ 2138. Suspension of licenses during war or na-
tional emergency
Whenever the Congress declares that a state of
war or national emergency exists, the Commis-
sion is authorized to suspend any licenses grant-
ed under this chapter if in its judgment such ac-
tion is necessary to the common defense and se-
curity. The Commission is authorized during
such period, if the Commission finds it nec-
essary to the common defense and security, to
order the recapture of any special nuclear mate-
rial or to order the operation of any facility li-
censed under section 2133 or 2134 of this title,
and is authorized to order the entry into any
plant or facility in order to recapture such ma-
terial, or to operate such facility. Just com-
pensation shall be paid for any damages caused
by the recapture of any special nuclear material
or by the operation of any such facility.
