A Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) is a regulatory approval granted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant. This license allows the applicant to combine the construction permit and the operating license processes into a single application, streamlining the regulatory process.
