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.

Hastelloy X electron beam (EB) weld metal shows higher creep rate and slightly lower rupture strength, and the tungsten inert gas (TIG) weld metal shows remarkably lower creep rate and rupture strength as compared with the base metal. Creep behavior for welded joint is determined mainly by the relation between the welding direction and the loading one, the creep rupture times, and the secondary creep rates of base and weld metal. In applying TIG and EB welding to joints of the shell or tubes, there are few problems for EB welding, but for TIG welding it is necessary to improve the weld metal.
