NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

In order to elucidate the dissolution/deposition behavior of corrosion products in supercritical-water-cooled reactor (SCWR) coolant, chemical thermodynamics calculation was carried out, taking into account the electrochemical properties of supercritical water. The review of thermodynamics models revealed the applicability of the modified HKF model for ionic species in the supercritical region. Using the calculation results, potential-pH diagrams were drawn for metal/water systems, which exhibited the effect of temperature and pressure on the stability of oxide in the SCWR core region.
