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.

An empirical reflood heat transfer correlation has been developed from the FLECHT reflood data for different axial power shapes and variable flooding rate conditions. This correlation consists of a separate quench correlation and a heat transfer coefficient correlation. The reflood correlation predicts both the quench front location and the heat transfer coefficient above the quench front. The reflood heat transfer correlation prediction is in good agreement with both the cosine and the skewed axial power shape FLECHT reflooding data as well as other rod bundle reflood data.
