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.

Heat transfer from a heated tube to an unsteady dispersed flow was studied experimentally at post-dryout conditions for the following range of variables: mass flux, 1. 40 to 3.60 g/cm2. s; pressure, 1.20 to 1.60 bar; heat flux, 1.70 to 4.20 W/cm2; inlet quality, 0.50 to 1.0; flow cycle, 0 to 3 s−1. The experimental results show that at equivalent mean vapor quality no noticeable differences in the heat transfer data exist between a steady-state and a cyclically dispersed flow. A comparison of the experimental data with the wall temperature calculated using an analytical model indicates that the interphase heat transfer is of considerable importance and that the wall-droplet interaction can be neglected at qualities greater than 0.50.
