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 intensive study of fission products and their effects carried out over the past decade has resulted in a thorough understanding of their behavior and an accurate predictive capability. A convenient form, a fitted linear combination of exponentials, has been developed for representing aggregate time-dependent decay spectra. The resulting parameters are useful in a wide variety of fission product applications. The fitted functions, which include beta and gamma aggregate spectra for total and gaseous fission products from 235U and 239Pu over the 0- to 109-s time interval, are readily used with any power history.
