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.

Ex-core neutron detector and core barrel-mounted accelerometer signals were used to determine the ratio of percent variation in the ex-core signal to core barrel amplitude. Based on these data, the nominal value, including uncertainties, is 1.60 ± 0.24%/mm (0.0407 ± 0.006%/mil). This result is in agreement with both predictions, based on a one-dimensional transport model, and previously reported data.
