In late-2019 and early-2020, the NRC approved the first two subsequent license renewal (SLR) applications to allow operation up to 80 years. This marks a major achievement for this new regulatory process. This early success of the SLR regulatory process is due to innovative approaches by both the NRC and the utility applicants. This session will include a summary of the efforts that led up to the submittal and approval of the first SLR applications, lessons learned, and planning insights for future SLR applicants.
