In quickest review, NRC approves 20-year renewal for Robinson
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the Robinson nuclear power plant’s operating license in record time, the agency announced last week.
The subsequent license renewal process for the Hartsville, S.C., facility was completed within 12 months, according to the NRC. The process has typically taken 18 months. This was the first license renewal review conducted under the directive of Executive Order 14300 to streamline processes like renewing operating licenses.

Geochemical interactions of actinide colloids are of vital importance to understanding the migration of actinides in natural aquifer systems. Much effort has gone into quantifying the migration of colloids and, subsequently, to applying these quantities to hydrodynamic and geochemical modeling. An overview of recent progress in the investigation of migration behavior of actinide colloids in natural aquifer systems is presented. The impact of pseudocolloid generation on actinide migration is also discussed and illustrated with the results obtained in recent studies.
