Curio to begin early talks with NRC on licensing NuCycle recycling facility
Washington, D.C.-based Curio announced yesterday that it has submitted a letter of intent to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to establish a docket for preapplication engagement activities and ultimately the submittal and review of a license application to operate a spent nuclear fuel recycling production facility.
Once a docket is established, Curio will develop a license application to meet all applicable regulations for a nuclear fuel recycling facility under 10 CFR Part 70.

The current from the surfaces of metals exposed in vacuum to 60Co gamma radiation was measured to determine the electron emission. The metals were in the form of solid cylinders 1.27-cm (0.50-in.) diam × 10.2 cm (4.0 in.) long. The electron emission factors increased smoothly with atomic number Z, varying from (3.06 ± 0.63) × 10-17 A/cm2 per rad/h (absorbed dose) for carbon to (18.2 ± 0.4) × 10-17 A/cm2 per rad/h (absorbed dose) for lead.
