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.

Through basic research on the separation of uranium isotopes by the isotopic equilibrium reaction of uranus and uranyl ions, we discovered that a novel redox chromatography in adsorption columns is most efficient for the enrichment of 235U. Further studies of kinetics and multicomplexes led to the formation of two very important equations that satisfactorily predict the degree of separation of uranium isotopes. Some results from extensive single-and multicolumn experiments and a model plant currently under design for recovery of 3% enriched uranium are also described.
