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 method of multinodal treatment of nuclear transition and spatial migration of radioactive materials in complex nuclear technological systems is described. The modeling of such processes is established in a very flexible way, enabling the user to investigate a wide range of problems related to nuclear safety, i.e., to predict the radioactive source term in normal operation and under accidental conditions of any nuclear plant. The migration of radioactive material can be connected either with the flow of reactor coolant or with any of the other physicochemical processes (filtration, deposition, etc.). On the basis of this method, a modular code system - TIBSO - has been developed.
