In quickest review, NRC approves 20-year renewal for Robinson
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the Robinson nuclear power plant’s operating license in record time, the agency announced last week.
The subsequent license renewal process for the Hartsville, S.C., facility was completed within 12 months, according to the NRC. The process has typically taken 18 months. This was the first license renewal review conducted under the directive of Executive Order 14300 to streamline processes like renewing operating licenses.

New Mexico has a long and distinguished history with space and nuclear power. From the early days of the Army V2 program at White Sands in the late 40s and the Rover project at Los Alamos in the 60s to the current nuclear launch safety program at Sandia and the Kilopower program at Los Alamos, the state has been intimately involved in both space and nuclear power. This session looks at the current capabilities of the state and how they can leveraged for future space nuclear programs. Our speakers come from diverse backgrounds representing the Space Force, Los Alamos, and Sandia.
