NRC looks to leverage previous approvals for large LWRs
During this time of resurging interest in nuclear power, many conversations have centered on one fundamental problem: Electricity is needed now, but nuclear projects (in recent decades) have taken many years to get permitted and built.
In the past few years, a bevy of new strategies have been pursued to fix this problem. Workforce programs that seek to laterally transition skilled people from other industries, plans to reuse the transmission infrastructure at shuttered coal sites, efforts to restart plants like Palisades or Duane Arnold, new reactor designs that build on the legacy of research done in the early days of atomic power—all of these plans share a common throughline: leveraging work already done instead of starting over from square one to get new plants designed and built.

Around 100 grams of tritium was supplied to the JET machine during the 1997 DTE1 campaign. A significant proportion of this was retained in the machine and only released slowly over the succeeding operational and maintenance campaigns Tritium is also present though permeation and surface adsorption of materials. Means of detritiation of JET waste which could be applied within the facility are being developed. These must take into account the full waste cycle including the generation of secondary waste and the possibility of recovery for re-use of tritium. Each of the typical JET tritiated waste streams is described and the detritiation processes being developed and under consideration are discussed.
