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.

The high yield lithium injection fusion energy chamber with a tritium breeding ratio (TBR) of 1.75 is a prolific producer of excess tritium, which is currently considered a valuable commodity. Future safety, environmental, and political factors can, however, change this perception. In this paper, design modifications are discussed that can be used to control the TBR between 1.0 and 1.75.
