Fermi America looks to go public as NRC accepts COLA for AP1000s
Texas Tech University and Fermi America are now one step closer to realizing their massive vision for the Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus in Amarillo, Texas, as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted the first two parts of its combined license application (COLA) for four Westinghouse AP1000s.

The H2 concentration was measured in the ventilated air of actual high-level liquid waste tanks of the Tokai reprocessing plant. It was compared with the value calculated from the parameters that were obtained using the simulated solution. Both values agreed satisfactorily within the limits of uncertainties of the parameters. This agreement showed that the catalytic H2 consumption reaction caused by Pd ions, which was found previously using the simulated solution, proceeds also in the actual solution. The measured “G(H2)” for the actual solution and the derived one using the parameters from the simulated solution were between 7×10−6 and 3×10−5.
