NRC accepts Ginna SLR application as Constellation seeks 20-year extension
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted Constellation’s subsequent license renewal application to extend operations at the Ginna nuclear power plant by another 20 years.
If approved, the Ontario, N.Y., facility’s operating license would be extended through September 18, 2049. The plant was first issued a 40-year license in 1969, followed by a 20-year renewal in 2004 that extended the license into 2029.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is developing preliminary plans for a full-scale spent nuclear fuel cask demonstration – a first of its kind in the United States. The panelists will discuss options for the project, including types of demonstrations that could be conducted, anticipated outcomes, and how lessons learned from international tests and previous scale tests have been incorporated into the preliminary plans. The panelists also will discuss how DOE has engaged stakeholders and integrated their feedback throughout the process, including preliminary feedback from a recent Request for Information.
