Part 3: Special Administration Regime Section 36: Procedures etc relating to modifications under section 35
This section sets out the procedure the Secretary of State must follow when exercising the power in section 35 of the Act.
	Subsection (1) requires the Secretary of State to consult the named persons when exercising the powers under section 35, including the nuclear administrator in that role and as agent of the relevant licensee nuclear company, as well any other persons considered appropriate.
	Subsection (2) provides the definition for "relevant site" in subsection (1) refers to the site for which the relevant licensee nuclear company holds a relevant licence (see the definition of relevant licence in Part 1 of the Act).
	Subsection (3) provides the scope of the modification power which Secretary of State may exercise during a RLNC administration order. This includes generally in relation to specified cases or subject to exceptions providing specified conditions are satisfied. The modification power may be exercised for different purposes and allows the Secretary of State to make incidental, supplementary, consequential or transitional modifications.
	Subsection (4) enables provisions included in a licence or associated document or agreement (such as an industry code) by a modification under these powers to make different provision for different purposes. It also makes clear that any provision included in a licence by such a modification need not relate to the activities that the licence authorises. Subsection (4)(c) clarifies that a provision included in a licence by virtue of a relevant power may also do anything which is authorised for licences of that type by sections 7(4), (5)(a) or (6A) of the Electricity Act 1989.
	Subsection (5) places an obligation on the Secretary of State to publish the details of the modification as soon as reasonably practicable after they are made. Subsection (6) allows the Secretary of State to exclude certain pieces of information from anything required to be published under subsection (5), where these are commercially sensitive or should be excluded on national security grounds.
	Subsection (7) provides that if the Secretary of State modifies the standard conditions of a licence under section 6(1)(a) of the Electricity Act 1989, the Authority must make the same modification to all licences under section 6(1)(a) of the Electricity Act 1989 granted after that point in time and are obliged to publish the modification.
	Subsection (8) provides that a modification made by the Secretary of State to a standard condition does not prevent other parts of the condition from continuing to be considered a standard condition pursuant to Part 1 of the Electricity Act 1989.
