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.

The present parametric study formulates certain requirements regarding basic determinants of the only really economically effective variant of fusion power - the fusion-fission hybrid. On the basis of performed calculations and considerations the conditions are determined to be fulfilled for the realization of a competitive hybrid reactor. In spite of the still existing wide margins of uncertainty of pertinent physical data the carried out comparison of the fusion hybrid with the pure fusion variant has come out firmly in favour of the former. Thus, the indicated difficulties notwithstanding, the promising perspectives of fusion breeders have been strengthened.
