application or any statement of fact required under section 2232 of this 
title, or because of conditions revealed by such application or 
statement of fact or any report, record, or inspection or other means 
which would warrant the Commission to refuse to grant a license on an 
original application, or for failure to construct or operate a facility 
in accordance with the terms of the construction permit or license or 
the technical specifications in the application, or for violation of, or 
failure to observe any of the terms and provisions of this chapter or of 
any regulation of the Commission.

title 5 in revoking any license.

(c) Repossession of material

    Upon revocation of the license, the Commission may immediately 
retake possession of all special nuclear material held by the licensee. 
In cases found by the Commission to be of extreme importance to the 
national defense and security or to the health and safety of the public, 
the Commission may recapture any special nuclear material held by the 
licensee or may enter upon and operate the facility prior to any of the 
procedures provided under subchapter II of chapter 5 and chapter 7 of
