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.

Experimental verification of the piping code ICEPEL has led to a modification of the elbow hydrodynamic model so that agreement in predicting uniform pressure across the elbow cross section is obtained. A rupture disk model is incorporated and used in modeling the MARK-IICB loop of the TREAT reactor to assess its structural adequacy during a postulated accident that results from fuel-sodium interaction. The analysis showed the loop remained elastic. A nonreflecting boundary is incorporated and can be used in elastically deforming regions of piping systems to allow for refined modeling of portions of interest without having to model the whole system.
